Dogecoin Holds 16 Cent Support as Bulls Defend Multi-Week Floor

Dogecoin stabilized Saturday after a steep intraday decline, bouncing off a low of 16.1 cents and closing near 16.3 cents. The 5% drop came amid broader market volatility driven by macroeconomic concerns and shifting investor sentiment.

Despite the downturn, DOGE showed signs of strength, with volume at support levels well above average, suggesting possible accumulation as the market seeks direction.

News Background

Global markets continue to absorb a wave of economic pressure from ongoing trade disputes and policy uncertainty. President Trump’s renewed tariff threats and unresolved fiscal debates are keeping risk assets — including cryptocurrencies — on edge. While memecoins like DOGE tend to amplify these swings, Thursday’s price action also showed signs of resilience.Dogecoin held firm above $0.162 with buyers stepping in at elevated volume, a sign that some participants may view current levels as a reasonable entry point. Technical analysts are watching for confirmation of a base, with DOGE consolidating near familiar levels from previous weeks. A continued hold above $0.160 could set the stage for a stronger move if broader sentiment improves.
