News Background

  • Analysts are increasingly focused on DOGE’s tightening technical structure. The current symmetrical triangle setup, combined with compressing volume and narrowing volatility, suggests a breakout could be imminent.
  • Historical precedence for this pattern points to a potential 60% price move — though the direction remains unclear.
  • As the Federal Reserve prepares to issue its next policy guidance and risk assets remain under pressure, DOGE’s positioning near a breakout point could present opportunity — or risk — for traders betting on a resolution.

Price Action

DOGE traded within a 2.7% range between $0.167 and $0.172 over the 24-hour period. A sharp 1.8% drop at 04:00 was followed by a strong recovery during the 07:00 hour, where volume spiked to 248 million units — the day’s highest. That rebound solidified $0.168 as a key support level.

Price action then entered a consolidation phase between $0.170 and $0.172. Attempts to break above resistance at $0.172 were rejected during the 13:00 hour, with 193 million in selling volume. Downward pressure re-emerged around 13:45–13:51, when volume spiked again to 18.7 million, but DOGE held its ground at $0.170.

Technical Analysis Recap

  • DOGE posted a 2.7% 24-hour range, trading from $0.167 to $0.172.
  • Sharp 1.8% decline early in session was reversed with 248M volume at $0.168 — now confirmed as support.
  • Consolidation range established between $0.170–$0.172.
  • Resistance tested and rejected at $0.172 during high-volume 13:00 hour (193M).
  • Late-session dip saw volume surge to 18.7M; price defended $0.170 floor.
  • Symmetrical triangle pattern tightening, with analysts calling for potential 60% move on breakout.
  • RSI hovering near 50; MACD flattened — momentum indicators reflect compression phase.

Struggling Coinbase gets price target cut from JPMorgan ahead of Thursday earnings

Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, at Consensus 2019 (CoinDesk)

Shares of COIN are down nearly 30% this year, with analysts warning that softer trading and crypto prices are likely to weigh on revenue.

What to know:

  • JPMorgan cut its December 2026 price target on Coinbase to $290 from $399 ahead of fourth-quarter earnings, citing weaker crypto trading volumes, softer prices and slower USDC growth.
  • The bank still rates Coinbase Overweight, but projects a sharp sequential drop in earnings and EBITDA, even after factoring in a full quarter of revenue from the Deribit derivatives acquisition.
  • Other firms, including Barclays and Compass Point, are more cautious or bearish, warning that retail trading, blockchain rewards and subscription and services revenue may miss expectations and remain closely tied to overall crypto prices.
