- The downward performance comes as retail traders reduce their exposure to the market.
DOGE extends losses after failed breakout
Dogecoin (DOGE) continued to face downward pressure on Tuesday, trading below $0.08 after failing to break through a key resistance area.
The meme coin is now down more than 10% over the past week, reflecting weak momentum in both the spot and derivatives markets.
Market data indicates that institutional participation in Dogecoin remains weak. According to SoSoValue data, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to DOGE have shown little activity since early June, indicating reduced demand from large investors.
Continued negative or absent ETF flows could further impact price movement, increasing the risk of additional downside volatility.
Sentiment around Dogecoin has also weakened on social media platforms. Santiment’s social dominance metric, which tracks the share of cryptocurrency discussions focused on DOGE, fell to 0.095% on Tuesday. This level is close to the lows in early June and reflects a sharp decline in market interest.
The decline indicates fading enthusiasm among retail traders, which is often the main driver of meme-based cryptocurrency momentum.
Futures and options data reinforce cautious expectations. Queen Glass Reports indicate that Dogecoin’s long-to-short ratio fell to 0.80 on Tuesday, near its lowest level in over a month.
A ratio less than 1 indicates that more traders are taking positions for price declines than gains, highlighting growing bearish sentiment in the derivatives market.
DOGE Price Forecast: Key Levels in Focus
Dogecoin was trading at $0.07948 at the time of writing, maintaining a short-term bearish structure.
The price is still below the 50-day, 100-day and 200-day EMAs, which are located between $0.093 and $0.114, reinforcing the downward pressure.
Momentum indicators present a mixed picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at an oversold zone near 29, indicating that selling pressure has extended.
However, the Moving Average Convergence-Divergence (MACD) shows only slight stability, not a confirmed reversal.
On the upside, immediate resistance is seen near $0.0885, followed by the 50-day moving average at $0.0926 and the 100-day moving average at $0.0982.
A stronger recovery would require a break above the downtrend line near $0.1000, with further resistance at $0.1027 and the 200-day moving average around $0.1138.
On the downside, a critical support level remains the recent yearly low of $0.0776. A decisive break below this level could open the door to a move towards $0.0700, where buyers may try to return to the market.
