That happened last week\u201d he wrote, adding that he \u201cincreased my position by 50% at the lows\u201d and that his community received buy alerts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-881817\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HBJAsg9XwAEbUrM.jpg?resize=1024%2C556\" alt=\"Dogecoin weekly bearish cross\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That framing is colliding with more cautious range-based reads from other analysts watching spot structure instead of the moving-average signal alone.<\/p>\n<p>Daan Crypto Trades described the post-dip bounce as constructive, but explicitly framed it as range trade rather than trend confirmation. \u201cDOGE 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,\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-881818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HBOBKD3WIAEnYQH.jpg?resize=1024%2C581\" alt=\"Dogecoin price analysis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On his chart, DOGE\/USDT was sitting around the middle of that band near $0.10\u2013$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.<\/p>\n<p>That \u201cwaiting\u201d can be expensive in a leverage-heavy coin. CEO of Aphractal Jo\u00e3o Wedson <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joao_wedson\/status\/2023129178120520128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">struck<\/a> a stark tone, warning: \u201cIf you are long on Doge, you will likely be liquidated soon!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-881816\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HBOZPBCXgAA4Xbz.jpg?resize=1024%2C576\" alt=\"Dogecoin liquidation heatmap\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wedson also argued that DOGE rallies can function as a broader volatility tell for Bitcoin, calling them \u201ca risk signal for Bitcoin\u201d and saying it \u201cusually happens when Bitcoin is moving sideways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alphractal echoed the rotation narrative in a longer note on flows. \u201cOver 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,\u201d the account wrote. \u201cHowever, in the last few hours, memecoins have started to correct while BTC remains relatively stable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The near-term map is clean even if the conviction isn\u2019t. Bulls need a decisive reclaim of the top of the $0.08\u2013$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.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, Dogecoin traded at $0.10.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-881821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DOGEUSDT_2026-02-16_15-34-19.png?resize=1024%2C499\" alt=\"Dogecoin price chart\" width=\"1024\" height=\"499\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogecoin is flashing a rare weekly \u201cbearish cross\u201d just as traders debate whether last week\u2019s $0.08 washout was the cycle\u2019s reset or merely the first leg lower.
