Dogecoin tumbled as much as 7.5% in 24 hours, sliding from $0.176 to $0.164 as markets continue to react to rising geopolitical conflict in the Middle East and hawkish central bank policy.
News Background
- Tensions between Israel and Iran escalated over the weekend, prompting a swift risk-off reaction in global markets. Crypto was no exception, with DOGE shedding nearly 8% before stabilizing above a key technical floor.
- Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.50% and continuing to unwind its balance sheet.
- These macroeconomic headwinds have weighed heavily on altcoins, especially high-beta assets like dogecoin.
- Despite this, DOGE found support as buying activity returned near the $0.164 level, forming a potential double bottom pattern that some analysts view as a base for consolidation.
- With volatility cooling and volume declining, the market appears to be waiting for a clearer signal before its next directional move.
Price Action
The sharpest sell-off came during the 15:00–16:00 window, where DOGE saw nearly 700 million units traded as price dropped below key support. Buyers stepped in at $0.164, lifting DOGE into a range between $0.168 and $0.171.
Late-session trading showed price stabilizing above $0.170, with a bullish push at 01:21 sending DOGE to $0.1719 before fading. Price action since has traced a descending triangle with lower highs forming against flat support.
Technical Analysis Recap
- DOGE fell from $0.176 to $0.164, a 6.7% drop, before finding support.
