- Dogecoin (DOGE) faces continued selling pressure, trading down at $0.096 and giving up its ninth position to Avalanche (AVAX) after Monday’s market crash.
- Key resistance at $0.0959, historically challenging for DOGE, could pose a barrier, but positive indicators like RSI and MACD suggest potential recovery and upward movements toward $0.1000.
While other altcoins entered into recovery after Monday’s crash, Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to face selling pressure while trading in the negative zone. The world’s largest memecoin is currently trading 2.38% down at $0.096 and has a market cap of $13.6 billion. As a result, Dogecoin (DOGE) had to concede the ninth position to Avalanche (AVAX) earlier today.
Billy Markus, the founder of Dogecoin, also known by his Twitter alias Shibetoshi Nakamoto, playfully taunted market pessimists in the early hours of Monday. In a tweet, Markus mockingly exclaimed, “Oh no crypto died everything is dead blah blah blah.”
The community, including Elon Musk, the owner of X and affectionately known as the DOGEfather, responded with applause. This jest occurred at a time when Dogecoin was trading at a yearly high of $0.1020.

In response to Elon Musk, Dogecoin founder Billy Markus emphasized historical data showcasing the frequency of skeptics dismissing Bitcoin as worthless and predicting its imminent demise to zero during market downturns. According to a dedicated tracking site, Bitcoin has endured 474 obituaries, with only seven instances of the “Bitcoin is dead” narrative in the current year, a significant decrease from the 27 times recorded in 2022.
Furthermore, just four days ago, Elon Musk engaged with Billy Markus in response to the Dogecoin founder’s criticism of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren. Markus’s post addressed Senator Warren’s characterization of crypto as a threat, highlighting criminal entities’ occasional use for transactions.
The Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Action
Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted that the TD Sequential indicator issued a sell signal on Dogecoin’s ($DOGE) weekly chart. This comes as Dogecoin faces a notable resistance level that has historically impeded its upward momentum.
In the event of a correction, Martinez suggests potential price declines within the range of $0.085 to $0.078. However, a bullish scenario could unfold if Dogecoin successfully surpasses the $0.11 mark, effectively nullifying the bearish outlook.
The $0.0959 level holds significance for Dogecoin ($DOGE), historically serving as a resistance barrier that the meme coin struggled to breach for nearly 11 months until achieving a breakthrough in the past week.
Despite the recent setback, indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) still exhibit some bullish sentiment in the market. This positive outlook could contribute to recovery, potentially assisting DOGE in reestablishing $0.0959 as a support level. This achievement might propel the meme coin toward $0.1000 and set the stage for further upward movements.
Dogecoin (DOGE) whales have been participating actively during the recent price rally. Chances are that this cohort could strike again leading to price recovery.
