Dogecoin finally forced a decision on its multi-session squeeze, breaking above $0.15 on a volume-backed breakout that signaled the first real momentum shift in days as ether zoomed 8%.
The move came as targeted buying hit the meme-coin complex while the broader market picked up, giving DOGE relative strength to the close. The breakout now creates a clean continuation zone – assuming bulls defend the midrange they just regained.
News background
- No token-specific catalysts – the movement is aligned with selective risk flows in meme-coin majors.
- Broader crypto markets saw synchronized distress buying as CD5 broke above short-term resistance.
- Traders rotated into high-beta assets after weekend volatility stabilized.
- ETF headlines remain largely Bitcoin/Ethereum focused, leaving DOGE flows primarily technical and position driven.
Summary of price action
DOGE started its breakout at 15:00 GMT, and ripped through resistance at $0.1424. Volume peaked at 1.75 billion during the 16:00 hour when the price was $0.1522.
Support formed at $0.1463 after initial acceleration which validates the breakout structure.
Relative strength flowed into DOGE even as volume cooled, with price still posting higher lows.
