Dogecoin is flashing a rare weekly “bearish cross” just as traders debate 
whether last week’s $0.08 washout was the cycle’s reset or merely the first 
leg lower. The setup matters beyond DOGE itself because memecoin flows are 
increasingly being treated as a proxy for risk appetite across crypto. Is The 
Dogecoin Bottom In? A chart shared by Charting Guy shows the 20-week EMA 
crossing below the 200-week EMA, a technical event he argues has historically 
aligned with DOGE capitulation. “DOGE typically bottoms around when the 20 
weekly EMA crosses below the 200 weekly EMA. That happened last week” he 
wrote, adding that he “increased my position by 50% at the lows” and that his 
community received buy alerts. That framing is colliding with more cautious 
range-based reads from other analysts watching spot structure instead of the 
moving-average signal alone. Related Reading: Dogecoin Is Now In The ‘Maximum 
Opportunity / Minimum Risk’ Zone: Crypto Analyst Daan Crypto Trades described 
the post-dip bounce as constructive, but explicitly framed it as range trade 
rather than trend confirmation. “DOGE Decent price action here over the past 
few days after the big $0.08 test last week. Currently seeing this $0.08-$0.13 
area as a large range,” he posted. “Anything above that point would make me 
confident in a further move towards the Daily 200MA/EMA. Currently near the 
middle so hard to really assume a direction here the way it&#8217;s trading.” On his 
chart, DOGE/USDT was sitting around the middle of that band near $0.10–$0.11, 
with the upper range marker around $0.132 and the lower boundary near $0.088. 
In other words: not a clean trend, not a clean mean reversion, just a market 
waiting for a push. That “waiting” can be expensive in a leverage-heavy coin. 
CEO of Aphractal João Wedson struck a stark tone, warning: “If you are long on 
Doge, you will likely be liquidated soon!” Related Reading: Why Dogecoin 
(DOGE) Can’t Break $0.10 Despite Short-Term Bounce and Neutral RSI An 
aggregated liquidation heatmap shared by Alphractal highlights why this 
warning resonates with derivatives traders: thick bands of potential 
liquidation levels sit below current price over the past three days, 
suggesting stop-driven moves could cascade if DOGE starts trending instead of 
chopping. Wedson also argued that DOGE rallies can function as a broader 
volatility tell for Bitcoin, calling them “a risk signal for Bitcoin” and 
saying it “usually happens when Bitcoin is moving sideways.” Alphractal echoed 
the rotation narrative in a longer note on flows. “Over the past few days, 
memecoins have significantly outperformed BTC and other altcoins. What stood 
out the most was Dogecoin, where the number of trades surpassed all others in 
its category,” the account wrote. “However, in the last few hours, memecoins 
have started to correct while BTC remains relatively stable.” The near-term 
map is clean even if the conviction isn’t. Bulls need a decisive reclaim of 
the top of the $0.08–$0.13 range to credibly reopen the path toward the daily 
200 MA/EMA that Daan flagged. Bears, meanwhile, will focus on whether the 
market revisits the $0.08 area and whether that level holds on a second test 
with liquidation clusters in play. At press time, Dogecoin traded at $0.10.
