Memecoin is making modest progress with increased trading activity, while technical patterns signal consolidation near key support.
News background
- Dogecoin marked its 12th anniversary on December 6, twelve years after creators Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer introduced the meme token that would later evolve into a major crypto-asset backed by sustained community engagement.
- Despite the milestone, market reaction was muted, with trading instead driven by technical structure and network activity.
- On-chain data showed daily active addresses reaching 67,511 on Dec. 3 — the second-highest level in three months — underscoring renewed user participation, although price action is still contained.
Technical Analysis
- DOGE spent the session consolidating within a tight $0.1406-$0.1450 band, forming a compression structure designed to resolve to a broader move.
The token bounced off the $0.14 support three separate times, showing active buying interest at the lower limit of the range. - Each rejection of deeper downside came with declining selling volume, a constructive signal for potential upside resolution.
- Hourly charts revealed a notable pocket of volatility around 03:19–03:22 GMT, where the price fell to $0.1405 before recovering, reinforcing a rising intraday support line.
- MACD curves continue to converge towards a bullish cross, while range contraction and higher lows suggest an early accumulation pattern rather than distribution.
Summary of price action
- DOGE advanced from $0.1405 to $0.14155 in a controlled gain of 0.81%.
Volume jumped 16.96% above weekly averages, with a remarkable increase of 465.9 million.

What traders should know
- The consolidation setup is nearing resolution, with $0.16 identified as the critical breakout threshold that would transition DOGE from range-bound action into a trend continuation phase.
- Failure to hold $0.14 risks sending the price towards deeper on-chain support near $0.081, as marked by UTXO realized distribution clusters.
- The combination of rising active addresses and tighter volatility suggests that a directional move is approaching.
- Traders should look for volume expansion above $0.145 or below $0.140 as the likely trigger for the next leg.
