Bitcoin’s four-year cycle used to be a comfort blanket. Even people who 
claimed they didn’t believe in it still traded as they did. The halving would 
cut new supply, the market would spend months pretending nothing happened, 
then liquidity would show up, leverage would follow, retail would rediscover 
its password, and the chart would start […]

Dogecoin (DOGE) traded at $0.14 on Friday, up 0.25% in the last 24 hours, 
according to market tickers. The coin’s weekly performance showed a fall of 
7.40%. Trading activity has eased sharply, with one source reporting a drop in 
volume of 50%. Related Reading: XRP Ledger May Get A Tokenized Gold Upgrade, 
Web3 Founder Reveals Key Momentum Readings And Moving Averages According to 
market data, DOGE RSI sits at 52.70 with a signal line at 52, which points to 
fairly balanced momentum and no clear bias. Exponential moving averages line 
up as follows: EMA 20 at $0.13, EMA 50 at $0.14, EMA 100 at $0.15 and EMA 200 
at $0.17. The EMA set shows a downward curve overall, and the EMA 50 is being 
watched closely as a short-term barrier. The coin’s market capitalization 
stood at $23.60 billion. Analysts Offer Targets As Price Forms Higher Lows 
Crypto analyst Jonathan Carter set a ladder of upside targets at $0.15, $0.18, 
$0.20, $0.24 and $0.28, saying that those levels correspond to past reaction 
points on the chart. Based on reports, Carter views price action above the 
50-day average as an early sign that momentum is returning. #DOGE Descending

(@JohncyCrypto) January 11, 2026 DOGE has been building higher lows, which 
would be a positive structure if it holds. Other analysts identified the all- 
time high at $0.73 as a long-term reference and noted a fourfold minimum 
growth target from current prices under the existing trend. Open Interest 
Climbs While Volume Drops CoinGlass data showed trading volume down by 43% to 
$1.30 billion in one report, even as Open Interest rose 1.70% to $1.80 
billion. Total liquidations in the last 24 hours were listed at $596K, with 
long positions making up $431K and shorts $165K. This split suggests more long 
exposure among leveraged traders at the moment. Market Structure Means A Clear 
Move Is Needed Traders are sizing up several clear levels. A sustained move 
above EMA 50 at $0.14 could invite more buyers. A failure to hold the EMA 20 
support at $0.13 would raise questions about the short-term strength. While 
momentum indicators are neutral now, a decisive break either way would likely 
be followed by sharper swings given low volume. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s

is mixed: signals of regained momentum sit beside declining volume and a 
downward slope in longer EMAs. Positions are being kept, as shown by rising 
Open Interest, but many market participants appear to be waiting for 
confirmation. If buying pressure returns and volume recovers, the analyst 
targets listed above could come into focus. If not, the chart may remain in a 
tight range for some time. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from
