Dogecoin jumps after rollercoaster weekend price-action

Dogecoin staged a sharp recovery following a dramatic weekend selloff, during which the token plummeted to a low of $0.143 before rebounding above $0.153.

The move came amid surging trading volume — over five times the daily average — confirming buyer interest at critical support levels and hinting at a potential momentum shift as broader markets remain turbulent.

News background

  • Global macroeconomic uncertainty continues to rattle digital assets. Geopolitical tensions and trade disputes between major economies have amplified volatility across risk markets.
  • Meanwhile, inflation concerns and ongoing scrutiny of Federal Reserve monetary policy have contributed to cautious sentiment in crypto.
  • DOGE’s latest bounce came during a period of intense selling pressure, but strong volume-backed support at $0.145 appears to have triggered a reversal.
  • Despite being a high-beta asset, Dogecoin’s recovery from its local lows suggests resilient market structure — particularly given the broader weakness seen across altcoins.
  • Technical analysts are closely watching whether DOGE can sustain its momentum above $0.153 and break through short-term resistance as bullish volume accelerates.

Price action

DOGE posted a volatile 9.1% range over the 24-hour window, falling from $0.157 to $0.143 before rebounding to close near $0.153. Most dramatic selling occurred during hours 13–14, where volume spiked to over five times the average, establishing a firm floor at $0.145.

In the final hour of trading, Dogecoin surged from $0.152 to $0.153, with a notable breakout above $0.153432 occurring after 04:58. Volume surged again at 05:11 (10.7M), confirming buyer strength and pushing DOGE to a new local high.

Technical analysis recap

  • DOGE dropped from $0.157 to $0.143 and rebounded to $0.153 — a 9.1% swing.
  • Volume during 13–14 hour spike exceeded 5x daily average, confirming support at $0.145.
  • Uptrend formed with clear higher lows from $0.145 to $0.152.
  • Breakout above $0.153 resistance occurred after 04:58, pushing price to $0.153432.
  • Volume surge at 05:11 (10.7M) confirmed breakout strength.
  • Final hour showed sustained bullish momentum and strong consolidation above $0.152.
  • Price action now targets the $0.155–$0.158 zone, with $0.145 holding as key support.
