Dogecoin (DOGE) declined at the time of writing on Wednesday, extending losses from its daily high of $0.0956. A broader view shows that crypto prices are improving on gains driven by Iran’s temporary ceasefire agreement with the United States (US), which saw Bitcoin (BTC) trading above $72,200 and Ethereum (ETH) trading above $2,200.
Dogecoin’s wobbles lead to modest increase in retail demand
Retail demand for Dogecoin shows signs of a potential comeback, with futures open interest (OI) rising to $1.19 billion on Wednesday from $1.07 billion the previous day. The continued increase in OI supports a sustainable uptrend as investors increase their risk exposure.
For context, open interest previously peaked near $6 billion, coinciding with Dogecoin’s rally to $0.31 and highlighting strong investor risk appetite.
Technical Outlook: Dogecoin’s gains remain limited amid weak technicals
Dogecoin is trading around $0.0930 as Memecoin is being adversely impacted, possibly due to early profit taking. Before the current intraday correction, DOGE had retraced the previous falling trend line, which the report said was supported by rising risk-on sentiment. The 200 exponential moving average (EMA) limits Dogecoin’s gains at $0.094 on the 4-hour chart, consolidating the pullback from the daily peak at $0.0956.
Meanwhile, DOGE sits at a confluence of support around $0.0923, where the 100 EMA aligns with the broken trendline, while the 50 EMA at $0.0920 adds a secondary floor just below. This situation keeps the broader structure bullish, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) falls and remains at 54 on the daily chart, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) retains modest positive momentum.
On the upside, immediate resistance lies at the 200 EMA around $0.0940. This barrier would need to be consistently broken to suggest a more solid bullish extension. On the downside, initial support lies at the clustered $0.0923 area defined by a reclaimed trendline break, followed by the 50 EMA near $0.0920. A break of this band is likely to expose the pair to a deep corrective phase towards the lower end of the $0.0900 range.
