Dogecoin edged lower during Sunday’s session after failing to hold short-term support, with elevated volume suggesting sellers are regaining control as price drifts toward the lower end of its recent range.
Market overview
DOGE fell about 1.8% over the past 24 hours, sliding from an intraday high near $0.1341 to trade around $0.1323. The move followed a failed recovery attempt above $0.135, where selling pressure re-emerged and capped upside momentum.

Trading activity picked up notably during the decline. Volume rose to roughly 721 million tokens around the session peak, about 150% above the 24-hour average, indicating active repositioning rather than thin, low-liquidity price movement.
Technical analysis
The key technical development was DOGE’s loss of support near $0.1320, a level that had held during several prior pullbacks. Once that area gave way, price drifted toward session lows with limited follow-through buying.
On intraday charts, DOGE also slipped below the lower boundary of a short-term ascending channel, confirming a shift away from the modest recovery structure that had formed late last week. The rejection near $0.1352 established a lower high, reinforcing the bearish short-term bias.
Price action summary
- DOGE failed to sustain gains above $0.135, meeting selling interest at resistance
- Volume expanded sharply during the rejection, pointing to distribution
- Price slipped below $0.1320, a level that had acted as near-term support
- Late-session trade stabilized near $0.1323, but without a strong rebound
Overall, price action reflected controlled selling rather than panic, though momentum remains tilted lower.
What traders should watch
With $0.1320 now acting as overhead resistance, attention shifts to whether DOGE can stabilize above the next demand area near $0.1280–$0.1290. That zone aligns with prior consolidation and could attract dip-buying interest if selling pressure eases.
On the upside, DOGE would need to reclaim $0.1320 and then $0.1350 to neutralize the current bearish structure. Until then, rallies are likely to face supply from traders looking to exit positions on strength.
For now, DOGE remains in a fragile technical position, with price action suggesting a consolidation-to-lower pattern rather than a confirmed reversal.

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.
