Dogecoin drops to $0.14 as bears gain control: is a bigger crash coming?

• Dogecoin price was down 1.5% and changed hands near $0.14.
• The top memecoin token risks bearish momentum as the broader market shows weakness.
• DOGE below $0.10 could risk a revisit of $0.05.

Dogecoin (DOGE) tested support at the $0.14 level on Tuesday as the memecoin pared some of its recent gains. While losses on the day are limited, the dip over the past month sees DOGE flirt with the risk of bearish continuation.

Bullish investors may see further downside risks as an opportunity to buy, though, with the meme-inspired token likely to ride broader market tailwinds for an uptick.

Dogecoin price today

The price of Dogecoin as of writing on December 9, 2025, hovered near $0.14. Bulls are down about 1.5% over the past 24 hours.

Although DOGE has bounced off lows of $0.138 on the day, it still prints a sharp 19% drop in the past month. Declines have left its market capitalization standing at around $22.8 billion.

Meanwhile, the token, ranked ninth among the largest cryptocurrencies, has seen a 17% dip in  daily trading volume to about $1.08 billion.

Dogecoin’s volume signals decreased investor activity, though, with price capped on the upside amid the turmoil that also sees top coins toil under pressure.

For instance, Bitcoin touched $92k but has quickly retreated to the $90k mark.

Analysts expect BTC to bounce amid key macroeconomic tailwinds and DOGE could follow.

Despite a fragile sentiment, the memecoin has seen key developments in recent weeks to suggest a spark could ignite a major rally.

The launch of DOGE perpetual futures pairs opens up the market for traders. Meanwhile, the buzz around Dogecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues.

Even without outflows for Bitcoin and Ethereum, the hype remains as multiple spot crypto ETFs launch in the US.

Dogecoin price forecast

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index hovers at 25, signalling extreme fear. Most altcoins trade in this territory due to investor caution.

However, amid an anticipated US Federal Reserve rate cut decision this week, sentiment is not overly negative.

Dogecoin’s trajectory will thus take on an ominous outlook if bulls fail to keep bears off at the current price level of $0.14.

If sellers knock buyers off this perch, a move in the negative direction will strengthen.

Technical indicators paint this gloom. As can be seen on the chart below, the token has recently shattered the pivotal support zone established in March and June 2025.

This has come as DOGE accelerated losses following the breach of the 50-week exponential moving average.

A downward channel is in place, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic RSI both flashing signals of increased bullish exhaustion.

Should DOGE fracture the $0.10 mark, the loss of this historical inflection point will add to bearish pressure. Dogecoin’s next major support levels are in the $0.05 zone.
