2025/09/02 11:42
  • Dogecoin price hovers around its 200-day EMA at $0.211, a firm close below signals further correction ahead.
  • Derivatives markets indicate a bearish outlook as the DOGE funding rate turns negative and bearish bets rise.
  • Santiment data indicate that holders are offloading DOGE tokens, adding to downside pressure. 

Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading cautiously around its key level at $0.211 at the time of writing on Tuesday, a level that could determine DOGE’s next directional move. While the dog-based meme coin attempts to hold ground, derivatives data and on-chain metrics suggest growing bearish sentiment, raising the risk of further downside if selling pressure intensifies.

Dogecoin’s derivatives and on-chain metrics raise the risk of further downside 

CoinGlass’s OI-Weighted Funding Rate data shows that the number of traders betting that the price of Dogecoin will slide further is higher than that anticipating a price increase.

The metric flipped to a negative rate on Tuesday, reading 0.0010%, indicating that shorts are paying longs. Historically, as shown in the chart below, when the funding rates have flipped from positive to negative, DOGE’s price has fallen.

Apart from the negative funding rates, the long-to-short ratio for DOGE also suggests a bearish sentiment as short bets are rising among the traders.

Santiment’s Supply Distribution data points to a bearish outlook for the dog-based meme coin, as holders are offloading DOGE tokens.

The metric shows that whales holding between 100,000 and 1 million DOGE tokens (red line), 1 million and 10 million (yellow line), and 10 million and 100 million (blue line) have shed a total of 250 million DOGE tokens since August 25, supporting the bearish view.

Dogecoin Price Forecast: A close below the 200-day EMA hints at further correction

Dogecoin price found rejection from its previously broken ascending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple lows since June 22) on Sunday and declined by nearly 3% the following day. At the time of writing on Tuesday, it hovers around its 200-day EMA at $0.211.

If DOGE closes below the $0.211 level on a daily basis, it could extend the correction to retest its weekly support at $0.181.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 46, still trading below its neutral level of 50, suggesting a bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) continues to display a bearish crossover, further reinforcing the bearish outlook.

However, if the 200-day EMA at $0.211 holds as support, DOGE could extend the recovery toward its daily resistance level at $0.247.

The revelation of WLFI’s sky-high opening price: The end of the “geek era” of cryptocurrency

The revelation of WLFI’s sky-high opening price: The end of the “geek era” of cryptocurrency

Author: Haotian Simply by virtue of the Trump family's reputation, @worldlibertyfi's market capitalization reached $7B upon launch. With virtually no reliable ecosystem support, its market expectations surpass those of blue-chip crypto-native protocols like AAVE, Uniswap, Ethena, and Pendle. Why? The answer is clear: the current trend in the crypto industry has completely shifted. Here are some observations: 1) To Wall Street institutions, the popularity of a new Wall Street DAT narrative has overshadowed many previous technical narratives such as Layer 2, BTCFi, and ZK. Facts have proven that institutional adoption will truly bring incremental growth, even if most of these traders have ulterior motives; 2) Focusing on capital efficiency, the market no longer focuses on the TPS arms race and superficial TVL Show, but begins to focus on how to make limited funds generate more yield. For example, @Dolomite_io's liquidity reuse, @MitosisOrg's programmable liquidity innovation, @apr_labs' MEV value capture and high-frequency trading flywheel, etc., all tell stories of how to improve capital efficiency; 3) Financial Engineering > Technical Concepts. Crypto's expansion from finance to non-financial sectors seems to be a vicious cycle. Each cycle emphasizes mass adoption, but ultimately returns to its most fundamental financial transaction scenarios. The allure of complex cryptography and consensus mechanisms has long faded, replaced by structured product design that is deeply versed in financial operations. For example, @HyperliquidX's on-chain order book depth and CEX-level trading experience have made people almost forget about decentralized finance. Meanwhile, @pendle_fi's Boros protocol innovations have opened a Pandora's box for traditional finance. It turns out that sophisticated financial engineering design is far more powerful than complex technical concepts. 4) The B2B2C model replaces the purely C-end narrative. Facts have long proven that there's only one business model in the cryptocurrency world that effectively serves and drives retail investors: exchanges. These centralized, monopolistic, and not-so-cool local tyrant models are notoriously centralized. For typical builders seeking on-chain innovation, it's wise and prudent to first serve institutions and then allow them to serve retail investors. Therefore, under TradFi's product positioning, services such as Vault, whitelist pool, KYC threshold, AMM optimization, etc. customized for institutions will become the direction of innovation. 5) Compliance has become a barrier to entry for innovation. Once upon a time, compliance wasn't a primary concern for crypto innovation; it was essentially an afterthought. However, the new trend is that obtaining a license before developing a product is more effective than developing the product first and then pursuing compliance. Alternatively, compliance has become a new, unfair competitive advantage, as exemplified by the Trump family's reliance on government resources and their consequential attacks on the cryptocurrency market. Coinbase's @base, Circle's USDC expansion path, and even the market expectations and valuation logic behind the Trump family's WLFI have verified the efficiency of this path. above. Bottom line: The next decade of crypto may no longer belong to geeks who change the world, but to those who understand how to package the on-chain world into financial products that Wall Street can understand. Do you agree?
