‘Pure GENIUS’: Trump Praises Senate-Backed Stablecoin Bill, Urges Swift House Approval

Dogecoin’s price is back at a crucial line. It’s testing the $0.168 area for a 
second time since mid‑April. A clear break could send the meme coin spinning 
lower. Bulls and bears are watching every tick. Related Reading: Record‑High 
Ethereum Open Interest Signals Institutional Confidence Key Support Under 
Scrutiny According to crypto expert Ali Charts, Dogecoin fell roughly 30% from 
its mid‑May high. That slide brought it down to the same $0.168 mark that held 
as support last April. If prices drop below that level on a weekly close, 
there are hardly any bids to slow the fall. Below $0.168 lies what traders 
call a “gap area,” where past buying activity was sparse. That could open the 
door to steeper losses and fast moves. Cup And Handle Pattern Based on 
reports, the current chart forms part of a four‑year cup‑and‑handle setup. The 
lower boundary of a symmetrical triangle sits right where the handle meets its 
cup. A clean break above the triangle’s upper trendline would point to a 
target near $0.75. #Dogecoin $DOGE must hold above $0.168 to avoid a 30% price 
drop! pic.twitter.com/PDhqo7fpcK — Ali (@ali_charts) June 15, 2025 That 
projection comes from the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of the cup’s depth. 
Hitting $0.75 would mean a 350% gain from today’s levels. Momentum Indicators 
Signal Weakness Momentum readings have lost much of their shine. After a brief 
golden cross in May, the 50‑day moving average slipped under the 200‑day in 
early June. The MACD line is widening beneath its signal, hinting at 
longer‑term selling pressure. The RSI sits at 42, under the neutral 50 mark, 
and drifting lower. Under 50 on the RSI often points to more sellers than 
buyers. With those readings turning sour, bulls need a strong bounce around 
$0.168 to stay alive. ETF Decision Could Swing Sentiment All eyes now turn to 
June 15, when US regulators may rule on a spot Dogecoin ETF. Approval would 
let traditional money flow in from big funds. A thumbs‑down or a delay, on the 
other hand, could spark fresh sell‑offs. That decision could make or break the 
next leg of Dogecoin’s move. Related Reading: Trump Media Makes Moves On 
Bitcoin And Smartphone – What’s Next? According to CoinCodex data, Dogecoin 
has recorded 13 out of 30 green days over the past month, with price swings of 
about 10.57% on average. Their forecast pegs DOGE at $ 0.20 by July 18, a 17% 
rise from current levels. Market sentiment sits in the neutral zone, and 
on‑chain signals aren’t flashing clear buy or sell warnings. This week’s 
action around $0.168 will tell us if Dogecoin can steady itself. Holders and 
traders should watch volume, weekly closes, and that looming ETF call. If 
support holds, we may see a rebound. If it breaks, lower levels could come 
into view fast. Either way, Dogecoin is at a make‑or‑break moment—and everyone 
will be listening for the next big clue. Featured image from Unsplash, chart

Bitcoin is navigating a highly volatile environment, as escalating Middle East 
conflicts and intensifying macroeconomic risks dominate global headlines. 
Despite mounting uncertainty, BTC continues to hold firm above the $104K 
level, signaling strong buyer interest at key support zones. Bulls remain in 
control for now, but hawkish macro conditions—such as elevated US Treasury 
yields, persistent inflation concerns, and geopolitical turmoil—pose serious 
risks that could drive BTC below the critical $100K mark. Related Reading: 
Ethereum Golden Cross Approaching – Will History Repeat? The market is divided 
on what comes next. Some analysts point to strong fundamentals and 
institutional adoption as fuel for a massive bull run, while others warn of a 
deeper correction before any upward continuation. Top analyst Darkfost 
emphasized the importance of monitoring on-chain behavior during such periods 
of uncertainty. According to CryptoQuant data, realized profits on Bitcoin 
(7-day moving average) show no major warning signs. Current profit-taking 
activity remains below $1 billion—similar to levels seen following the October 
2024 correction—indicating that investors are neither panicking nor overly 
euphoric. This muted profit realization could be a sign that long-term holders 
are still confident in the broader trend, setting the stage for an eventual 
breakout once macro conditions stabilize. On-Chain Metrics Signal Calm Bitcoin 
Consolidates As the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, fears of a 
broader war—and the possibility of US intervention—continue to weigh heavily 
on global markets. Investors remain on edge, with rising oil prices and 
weakening economic confidence feeding into macro uncertainty. Yet, Bitcoin 
seems largely unfazed. Despite the heightened geopolitical tension, BTC 
continues to consolidate just below its all-time high, showing resilience that 
has both bulls and bears second-guessing their next move. Fundamentally, 
Bitcoin remains strong. Institutional adoption is steadily increasing, and 
exchange supply continues to decline, reflecting a trend toward long-term 
holding and off-exchange accumulation. In many ways, BTC appears to thrive in 
this environment of volatility and uncertainty. According to on-chain data 
shared by Darkfost, realized profits on Bitcoin—measured by the 7-day moving 
average (7DMA)—show no major warning signs. Current profit levels remain under 
$1 billion, a range not seen since the end of the October 2024 correction. 
Even during the recent ATH surge, realized profits stayed well below the 
January 2025 peak. This lack of aggressive profit-taking suggests that most 
investors are still holding strong, neither panicking nor rushing to sell. 
That restrained behavior is playing a key role in Bitcoin’s ongoing 
consolidation. Without a wave of profit realization, there’s little pressure 
to force the market down—yet no catalyst strong enough to push it decisively 
higher either. Monitoring these on-chain signals will be critical in the 
coming days. If realized profits spike or exchange inflows surge, it may mark 
the beginning of a new phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds Strong Despite 
Israel-Iran Tensions – Weekly Resistance Begins To Crack BTC Technical 
Analysis: Key Support Being Tested The 12-hour chart of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 
shows the asset currently trading at $104,292, just above a crucial support 
level at $103,600. This area, which corresponds to the previous all-time high 
set in late 2024, has become a key battleground for bulls and bears. BTC has 
repeatedly bounced from this level in recent weeks, and its ability to hold 
could determine the direction of the next major move. BTC failed to break 
through the $109,300 resistance, forming a series of lower highs since tapping 
the $112,000 level. This suggests a weakening bullish momentum and highlights 
the importance of current price action around the 50-period SMA, which is now 
acting as short-term dynamic resistance. Volume has remained relatively stable 
but showed slight upticks during recent pullbacks, hinting at cautious selling 
rather than full-blown capitulation. The 100-period and 200-period SMAs, 
currently sitting at $104,065 and $94,617, respectively, offer additional 
support beneath the current range, with the 100-SMA now directly aligned with 
the horizontal $103,600 level. Related Reading: Ethereum Holds Key Range 
Support – Bulls Set Sights on Higher Levels If BTC breaks and closes below 
this demand zone with volume confirmation, it could trigger a move toward the 
$100K psychological support. Conversely, a strong bounce from here would 
reinforce the ongoing consolidation and keep the path open for another test of 
$109,300. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
