Technical Analysis Overview
DOGE falls 6.88% in the 24-hour period ending August 12, dropping from $0.24 to $0.22 as sellers overwhelm bid-side liquidity. The heaviest pressure hits at 07:00 on August 11, with price sliding from $0.238 to $0.233 on 485.69M volume — 31% above the daily average of 371.45M. This establishes $0.238 as a major resistance level.
Buyers step in at $0.226 during the 11:00 session, generating 793.38M in volume. Secondary resistance forms at $0.231 as multiple rally attempts fail. Final-hour trade sees DOGE range-bound between $0.2247-$0.2253 with volume compression, suggesting potential seller exhaustion.
News Background
The selloff comes amid broader weakness in digital assets, with regulatory uncertainty and global trade tensions weighing on risk sentiment. Major economies are escalating tariff disputes, pressuring multinational supply chains, while central banks signal potential policy shifts — a mix that has prompted institutional de-risking across crypto holdings.

Market Analysis and Economic Factors
Whale and institutional profit-taking at $0.238 resistance set the tone for the session, triggering a breakdown below $0.23 and forcing retests of $0.226. Support buying was evident on two major volume spikes (11:00 and 21:00), but repeated rejections near $0.231 kept DOGE pinned.
With volume thinning at session lows, the structure hints at possible base-building — though macro headwinds could see $0.22 tested again.
