  • Dogecoin held firm above $0.162 with buyers stepping in at elevated volume, a sign that some participants may view current levels as a reasonable entry point.
  • Technical analysts are watching for confirmation of a base, with DOGE consolidating near familiar levels from previous weeks.
  • A continued hold above $0.160 could set the stage for a stronger move if broader sentiment improves.
