Whales Offload 1 Billion Dogecoin, DOGE Struggles Below $0.17 Resistance

Dogecoin
  • Dogecoin whales sold over 1 billion DOGE in a week, driving prices lower.
  • Price dropped 15.75% in a week, struggling below key resistance at $0.17.
  • Technical indicators point to weak momentum and possible further correction.

Dogecoin has entered a turbulent phase after large holders reportedly sold over 1 billion DOGE in the past week, according to market analyst Ali. 

This heavy sell-off has weighed on market sentiment, pushing the meme coin to trade around $0.1573, reflecting a weekly loss of nearly 15.75%.

The decline followed multiple failed attempts to break the strong resistance area between $0.18 and $0.19, where buying momentum has repeatedly faded.

The current chart setup highlights a series of red candles, showing intensified selling pressure. Technical experts note that the price is now moving away from the upper Bollinger Band, a sign that the recent rally may have lost strength.

The narrowing Bollinger Bands, now positioned between $0.2188 and $0.2858, suggest a phase of possible consolidation after heightened volatility.

Historical Volatility remains elevated at 82.78, indicating that the market could continue seeing wide weekly swings before any meaningful stabilization occurs.

Technical Weakness Persists Below Key Fibonacci Level

The current technical charts for Dogecoin reveal weakness. The Auto Fibonacci indicator identifies the 0.786 level at approximately $0.164 as the resistance level.

At present, Dogecoin is holding below that level. This could trigger a move to the support levels of $0.15 and then to support at $0.138.

It is critical to maintain price action above the support levels to avoid a fall into a market correction. The current market indicators show that whales could continue to restructure their market positions with retail users proceeding with caution.

Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 40.51, which is moderately bearish. This means that the selling pressure is still prevalent, although not to the extent of overselling. 

A fall below 40 could spark intense selling pressure, while a rise above 50.7 could trigger a recovery.

Dogecoin Breakdown Below $0.15 Could Trigger Decline

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is again supporting a bearish market. The MACD indicator with a value of -0.00743 is always below the Signal line with -0.00575.

The histogram is not indicative of a strong market trend. This indicates that Dogecoin may trade between certain levels or may move slowly downwards.

At the current pace, traders will focus on crucial resistance levels. The first resistance level is between $0.164 and $0.17. A strong break above $0.185 can spark buying interest. A fall below $0.15 could see prices move to $0.13.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark. Sponsored Sponsored “The friendly fork model had a good intention but bad execution where the DAO was too friendly towards these forks, allowing the DAO only little upside,” the report states. Third, the instance model, once a smart…
