Dogecoin Price Analysis

DOGE price has broken decisively above its 30-day SMA at $0.222 and cleared the Fibonacci 23.6% retracement level at $0.239. Over the past 24 hours, price ranged between $0.2088 and $0.2417, with buyers stepping in aggressively. This was after whales scooped up 680 million DOGE, worth about $161 million, between August 20 and 21. This large-scale accumulation, now accounting for nearly half the circulating supply, reduced selling pressure from retail traders and signaled strong institutional confidence.

From a technical perspective, the $0.22 level now serves as immediate support. If DOGE holds above this zone, it may retest $0.26, where a previous resistance zone lies. A sustained move above $0.26 could open the door toward $0.30 in a high-volume breakout scenario. However, failure to maintain $0.22 could trigger profit-taking, pulling prices back toward $0.21 or even $0.203.

Meanwhile, developers are exploring integrating zero-knowledge proofs, a proposal aimed at enabling DeFi applications on Dogecoin. If implemented, this could give DOGE real utility beyond payments, potentially supporting the long-term DOGE price.
