DOGE Slides to $0.20 Amid Market Turmoil, Early Support Emerging

Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 5% from $0.21 to $0.20 as global crypto markets reacted to renewed U.S.–China tariff tensions. President Trump’s proposed 100% tariff plan erased roughly $19 billion in crypto market value, triggering forced liquidations across major digital assets.

Despite the decline, institutional desks report accumulation interest near $0.20, with derivatives open interest resetting to mid-September levels. Meanwhile, the House of Doge’s $50M Nasdaq debut through Brag House Holdings continues to support the long-term institutional narrative, though near-term flows remain risk-off.

Price Action Summary

• DOGE traded in a $0.0117 range (6%) between $0.21 and $0.20 from Oct. 14, 21:00 to Oct. 15, 20:00.
• Morning rally volume surged to 568.6M before sellers reclaimed control at $0.21.
• The heaviest liquidation occurred between 13:00–15:00, with 920M turnover as price broke below $0.21.
• A capitulation candle at 19:50 drove DOGE to $0.20 lows on 12M volume, signaling likely exhaustion.
• DOGE stabilized near $0.20 into the close, with reduced volume hinting at early signs of demand returning.

Technical Analysis

• Support: $0.20–$0.202, reinforced by high-volume accumulation at recent lows.
• Resistance: $0.21–$0.214, capped by morning reversal volume.
• DOGE remains below the 200-day moving average, indicating short-term fragility, but volume compression and stable bids at $0.20 suggest potential base formation.
• A clean reclaim of $0.21 could attract momentum-driven longs targeting $0.224–$0.228.
• Momentum indicators are oversold, and derivative funding has turned sharply negative on Binance and OKX, conditions often preceding short-covering rallies.
