Dogecoin Continues Four Weeks of Decline, Bears Target $0.10

As of Friday’s close, Dogecoin fell over 2%, continuing the 6% decline from the previous day. DOGE has declined for four straight weeks, breaking below $0.12, with bears aiming for the psychological support at $0.10. After breaking this key level, DOGE’s critical support zone remains between the October 10 low of $0.9500 and the S2 pivot point at $0.9172.

The MACD indicator has extended below the signal line into the negative zone, and the histogram below the zero line has further expanded, confirming downward momentum. MACD is an important indicator of trend strength and direction; when the fast line remains below the slow line and the histogram is negative and widening, it indicates that the downtrend is not only continuing but accelerating. Based on MACD patterns, there are no signs of reversal in the short term.

The RSI at 34 is below the midline and approaching oversold territory, which may slow further declines but still favors bears. RSI is close to 30, the oversold zone, but has not yet entered it, meaning there is still room for further downside. Only when RSI drops below 30 and then begins to rebound can it be considered a sign of oversold bounce.

Potential rebound attempts may face resistance at the 50-day moving average of $0.1348. This level is a short-term trend pivot; failure to regain it could sustain the bearish outlook. The $0.10 psychological level and support zone could trigger panic selling if broken.

Shiba Inu Double Moving Averages Confirm Bearish Pattern

SHIB remains below the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the 200-day EMA, with the 200-day EMA also trending downward. The short-term moving average is below the long-term, forming a bearish pattern. As of the report, SHIB price declined 2% on Friday, continuing Thursday’s 5% drop. This persistent downward momentum indicates heavy selling pressure and weak buying support.

The MACD and signal line have crossed below zero, with the histogram deepening further, showing strong bearish momentum. Meanwhile, RSI near 36 indicates approaching oversold conditions, with selling pressure intensifying. The double moving average bearish alignment is one of the most reliable trend confirmation signals in technical analysis; when the 50-day MA is below the 200-day MA and both are declining, it typically signals a strong downtrend.

SHIB’s immediate support remains at the October 10 low of $0.00000678, followed by the S1 pivot at $0.00000598. These supports are close, meaning a breach of the first could quickly test the second. If both are broken, SHIB could enter a price vacuum, accelerating the decline.

Comparison of the Technicals of the Three Meme Coins

Dogecoin: broke $0.12, four weeks down, RSI 34, target $0.10 psychological support

Shiba Inu: double moving averages bearish, RSI 36, support at $0.00000678

PEPE: down for three days, cumulative 8% decline, support at $0.00000363

On the positive side, SHIB’s potential rebound could face resistance at the 50-day moving average of $0.00000812. This level is a key medium-term trend point; if regained, it could attract trend followers and trigger a larger rebound. However, given the current technical setup, such a rebound seems less likely.

PEPE Falls for Three Days, Breaks Below 50-Day Line

Similar to other popular meme tokens, Pepe declined 5% on Thursday and was down 2% as of Friday’s close. The frog-themed meme coin has fallen for three consecutive days, moving away from the 50-day moving average. Both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are trending downward, indicating increasing downward momentum. Momentum indicators on the daily chart also show PEPE facing significant selling pressure.

From a downside perspective, risk remains high, with recent support at the December 18 low of $0.00000363. This support is close to current prices; if panic selling continues, it could be reached quickly. More concerning is the lack of clear technical support below $0.00000363; if this level is broken, PEPE could accelerate its decline.

To resume an upward trend, PEPE needs to close daily above the 50-day moving average of $0.00000523. Achieving this would require about a 44% rebound, which is very difficult in the current market environment. As a newer meme coin, PEPE’s price volatility is typically higher than DOGE and SHIB, leading to larger drops during declines but also potentially stronger rebounds.

The overall meme coin market is entering a deep correction phase, with the three major tokens breaking down technically, indicating a deterioration in market structure. Consecutive weeks of decline have eroded bullish confidence, and the overall bearish technical setup makes rebounds more difficult. Unless there is a major catalyst (such as regulatory news or a sudden shift in market sentiment), meme coins may continue their bottom-finding process.

Dogecoin On-Chain Losses Hit Record High: 1,100 Days of "Profit Days" Warning that DOGE May Enter a Two-Year Bottoming Cycle

February 25 News, Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently in a critical structural and technical range. On-chain research firm AMBCrypto pointed out that its price has entered a rare historical discount level, a characteristic often associated with long-term bottom formation rather than short-term reversal signals. Data shows that the "profit days" indicator has risen to a new high of 1100 days in history, indicating that the vast majority of historical trading days had prices above the current level, and many DOGE holders are still in deep unrealized losses. This phenomenon typically occurs during the later stages of a market correction cycle, reflecting that there is still significant remaining supply in the market, while long-term holders are numerous. However, structural cycle indicators have not yet released clear bottoming signals. From the perspective of net position changes among holders, during the 2021 and 2024 bull market ends, a large amount of DOGE was sold at cycle tops, while continuous buying in the $0.095 to $0.34 range significantly increased the overall holding costs.

Dogecoin breaks through key resistance to turn it into support: DOGE price gains strength and may challenge the $0.096 level

February 25 News, Dogecoin (DOGE) rebounded amid a stabilization of market sentiment in the crypto space, breaking through a key technical resistance level and turning it into short-term support, sparking market attention on a new upward structure. Previously, DOGE was consolidating and oscillating within the range of $0.090 to $0.0927, repeatedly testing the $0.0924 resistance without success. As trading volume significantly increased, this critical price level was effectively broken, and the technical pattern strengthened accordingly. Data shows that DOGE rose from approximately $0.0926 to $0.0944, with the breakout phase reaching a trading volume of 749 million, a notable increase from the baseline level, indicating genuine buying interest rather than a short-term rally driven by liquidity. After briefly touching $0.0950, the price consolidated in the $0.0940 to $0.0945 range, forming higher lows and higher highs, demonstrating that the bulls are still defending the breakout zone.
