- Dogecoin rose 4.29% to $0.180 amid market liquidations during the Israel–Iran conflict, breaking key resistance at $0.177.
- Elon Musk’s activity around the Base network has increased Dogecoin’s utility, with wrapped DOGE tokens powering DeFi apps on Coinbase’s Layer-2.
- Speculation about a potential DOGE ETF and consistent on-chain activity suggest sustained interest in Dogecoin despite market volatility.
Dogecoin (DOGE) climbed 4.29% over the past 24 hours, rising from $0.173 to $0.180, as broad market liquidations swept through the crypto market during the Israel–Iran conflict.
The token broke key resistance at $0.177 on above-average volume and held firm near new highs despite intensifying global uncertainty.
- The Israel–Iran escalation triggered a wave of liquidations across risk assets, yet dogecoin held up better than most major tokens, underscoring its growing appeal beyond pure speculation.
- Elon Musk’s recent increased activity around the Base network has lent DOGE fresh utility—wrapped DOGE tokens now power DeFi apps on Coinbase’s new Layer-2, attracting both retail and institutional users.
- Speculation around a potential DOGE ETF persists, with Polymarket data placing approval odds at roughly 51% for 2025, fueling intermittent build-ups in large-ticket whale orders.
- Daily active addresses on the Dogecoin network remain above 2024 averages, and on-chain transaction volume has stayed consistent, suggesting sustained user engagement even in volatile conditions.
DOGE formed a clear uptrend marked by higher lows and higher highs, breaking past $0.177 with a 415 million-unit volume spike. It tested the $0.17–$0.18 zone multiple times, closing near the session peak.
In the final hour, DOGE briefly pierced 18 cents before encountering head-and-shoulders resistance at that level, with selling pressure intensifying in the last minutes.
