Is Dogecoin Price Heading for Another Crash?

As market sentiment swings sideways, two subtle but important metrics signal a potential drop in the price of Dogecoin (DOGE). Last month, DOGE hit $0.11. 

However, the meme coin has been trading below this level since the beginning of September. These indicators reveal how the cryptocurrency’s current trend might impact the price.

Dogecoin Sees Low Traction, High Sell-Offs

As shown in the chart, MDIA has dropped sharply since September 8, implying that less capital is being invested in Dogecoin. This could make Dogecoin’s price vulnerable to a drop below its current level of $0.10.

As soon as this happens, the bearish outlook could be confirmed, potentially driving the price down to $0.091. However, if bulls manage to hold the price above this level, the bearish prediction could be invalidated, and Dogecoin might rise to $0.12.
