WIF price trades below $0.18 range support while RSI prints bullish divergence. A reclaim of this level could signal a deviation and potential move toward $0.26.

Dogwifhat (WIF) is currently trading at a crucial technical level after losing the key range support near $0.18. Price action has now been finding acceptance below this region since the February 6 low was established, signaling that the market has temporarily shifted below its previous trading range.

While a break below support often indicates further downside risk, the current setup is presenting a potential deviation scenario that traders are watching closely.

Wif price key technical points

• Range Low Support: $0.18 is the key level that must be reclaimed to confirm a potential deviation.
• Bullish RSI Divergence: RSI is forming higher lows while price prints lower lows.
• Upside Target: Reclaiming range support could trigger a move toward range high resistance at $0.26.

The recent breakdown below the $0.18 level marked an important development in WIF’s market structure. This level previously acted as the range low of the broader trading environment and had provided multiple reactions in previous price cycles. Once price broke below this level, the market entered a lower trading zone where acceptance beneath support began to develop. Sustained trading below a key range boundary typically increases the risk of further downside expansion, but this scenario may be evolving differently due to the appearance of momentum divergence.

One of the most notable signals currently present on the chart is the bullish divergence forming on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). While WIF price action has continued to print lower lows, the RSI indicator has begun forming higher lows.

This divergence between price and momentum often indicates that selling pressure is weakening and that the bearish trend may be losing strength. In many cases, bullish divergence appears during late stages of a downtrend when the market is preparing for a potential reversal or relief rally.

However, momentum signals alone are not enough to confirm a trend reversal. The broader crypto market also remains under bearish pressure, with Bitcoin and most altcoins still trading significantly below their all-time highs after double-digit declines.

As a result, the key technical confirmation for WIF will be a reclaim of the $0.18 range low. If price can push back above this level and hold it as support, it would suggest that the recent breakdown was likely a deviation rather than a true continuation move. Such a reclaim would shift market structure back into the previous trading range and increase the probability of a rotation toward the upper boundary.

From a broader market structure perspective, range-bound markets tend to rotate between support and resistance levels as liquidity moves between participants. Once a deviation occurs and price re-enters the range, the probability often favors a move toward the opposite side of the range. In WIF’s case, the next major technical target would be the range-high resistance near $0.26.

Volume and momentum behavior will also play an important role in confirming this potential shift. If price begins reclaiming support alongside increasing buying pressure and strengthening RSI momentum, it would add further confirmation that a local bottom may be forming. Conversely, continued rejection below $0.18 would keep the market vulnerable to further downside exploration.

What to expect in the coming price action

WIF remains at a key technical turning point as bullish divergence develops while price trades below major support. A confirmed reclaim of $0.18 would strengthen the case for a deviation and open the door for a rotation toward $0.26 resistance, while failure to reclaim the level could allow bearish momentum to persist.

Bithumb, South Korea’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is reportedly facing a possible partial business suspension of up to six months as regulators step up enforcement over anti-money laundering controls.

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) gave Bithumb a preliminary notice of a six-month partial suspension over alleged anti-money laundering and know-your-customer failures under the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information, according to local media reports on Monday. The regulator reportedly cited concerns over dealings with unregistered overseas virtual asset service providers and shortcomings in customer due diligence.

The FIU also issued a reprimand warning to Bithumb’s CEO, a warning considered a heavy penalty, which may lead to restrictions on his reappointment or future roles. Regulators are expected to hold a sanctions review later in March before deciding on any final measures. Bithumb told News1 that the action remains at the pre-notification stage and that the scope of any sanctions could still change.

“This measure is not yet a confirmed sanction, but is a pre-notification stage, and there may be some adjustments in the sanctions trial,” a Bithumb spokesperson said, adding that “restrictions only apply to the transfer (withdrawal) of virtual assets by new members.”

If finalized, the suspension would restrict new users from transferring digital assets off the platform, according to the report. Bithumb did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.

The notice follows scrutiny on South Korea’s Financial Services Commission’s failure to detect critical flaws tied to Bithumb’s internal systems after the exchange mistakenly credited 2,000 Bitcoin (BTC) per user instead of 2,000 Korean won ($1.40) during a promotional event on Feb. 6, distributing a total of 620,000 BTC (worth around $43 billion at the time).

South Korean regulators impose stricter money laundering regulations

South Korean regulators are seeking to impose stricter sanctions on crypto exchanges suspected of AML and KYC violations. 

In November 2025, FIU imposed a partial three-month suspension and a 35.2 billion won ($25 million) fine on cryptocurrency exchange Upbit’s parent company, Dunamu, for similar violations. 

Crypto exchange Korbit also received a warning and a 2.73 billion won ($1.9 million) fine in December 2025.

Both administrative penalties stemmed from concerns related to dealings with overseas crypto service providers and neglect of customer verification practices.
