What to know:

• Dogecoin fell 6.7% to $0.1605, breaking key support levels as large investors sold off.

• Trading volume surged 76% above the weekly average, indicating significant distribution rather than retail activity.

• The price drop was exacerbated by a large 59 million DOGE sell-off, leading to a final-hour decline to $0.1600.

Dogecoin slid 6.7% to $0.1605 over the last session, cracking key $0.17 support as large players exited into weakness. Volume spiked ~76% above the seven-day average, reinforcing a clear distribution signal rather than emotional retail flow. Bears now control structure with $0.16 acting as the next battleground.

What to Know

• DOGE fell from $0.1719 to $0.1605, losing 6.7%
• Volume jumped 76% above weekly average; one 1.44B-token spike capped recovery
• Final-hour cascade flushed price to $0.1600 on 59M DOGE block sell
• Underperformed CD5 by ~1.4% → token-specific weakness

News Background

The move extends a multi-session unwind driven by whale rotation out of meme exposure and tightening liquidity across alt majors. A 1.44B DOGE wall near $0.1702 rejected buyers during the morning defense attempt, triggering algo-led stops and accelerating the leg down. That failure now marks decisive overhead resistance as traders fade strength until trend confirmation flips. Broader flows show reduced leverage and concentration in BTC, leaving DOGE bid-light as macro jitters weigh on higher beta plays.

Price Action Summary

• Initial fade from $0.1719 stalled near $0.1650 → then cascade into $0.1600
• Largest liquidation: ~59M DOGE dumped between 16:20–16:25
• Session climax confirmed by sideways drift + volume collapse post-flush
• Highest wick rejection at $0.1702 after 1.44B DOGE turnover (~158% above 24h avg)
• Low printed at $0.1600; late-session stabilization but no strong bounce

Technical Analysis

• Trend: Lower-high structure, bearish continuation bias
• Support: $0.1600 initial defense; next liquidity pocket $0.1550–$0.1500
• Resistance: $0.1630 tactical cap; $0.1702–$0.1714 firm supply zone
• Volume: Conviction selling — 158% spike at rejection confirms distribution
• Structure: Breakdown below $0.17 invalidates prior consolidation base
• Momentum: Oversold readings developing but no reversal signal — risk of drift grind lower without catalyst

What Traders Are Watching

• Can $0.1600 hold into U.S. hours or do funds force a wick toward $0.1550–$0.1500
• Return of spot bids vs continued whale net-outflow behavior
• Whether CD5 stabilizes — DOGE lagging increases fragility
• Reaction to any bounce attempts into $0.1630 and $0.1700 supply zones
• Liquidity behavior if BTC volatility picks up again

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Macro fears mask Ethereum’s momentum, SharpLink CEO says

Joseph Chalom

SharpLink CEO Joseph Chalom argues that macro uncertainty is hiding a massive institutional shift toward Ethereum-based tokenization.

What to know:

The context: Former BlackRock Head of Digital Assets Strategy, and SharpLink CEO, Joseph Chalom says institutional giants are betting heavily on Ethereum to serve as the global infrastructure for asset tokenization, ignoring current price stagnation.

He outlines three key drivers for a projected 10x surge in Ethereum activity this year:

  • BlackRock’s Larry Fink has signaled strong conviction that Ethereum will be the "toll road" for tokenized assets.
  • Over 65% of all stablecoins and tokenized assets live on Ethereum, dwarfing Solana by a factor of ten.
  • High-value projects prioritize Ethereum's decade-long record of security and liquidity over faster, cheaper alternatives.
