• The Dogecoin price sits in a tight range after a recent rebound.
• Analysts note compression near an apex zone seen before past breakouts.
• Key levels to watch for the next move are the $0.085 support and the $0.092 resistance.

The Dogecoin price is moving within a tight range after several days of mixed momentum, with price action clustering around a level that traders are now watching closely.

At the time of writing, DOGE was priced near $0.0886, moving between an intraday low of $0.0857 and a high of $0.0890.

Notably, the range has narrowed compared to earlier swings, a structure often described by market participants as price compression.

Over the past 24 hours, DOGE has gained about 1.6%, while its short-term trend shows mild strength with a 3.4% increase over the past week.

Despite that, the broader picture remains uneven. The meme coin is still down roughly 20% over the past 30 days and nearly 50% over the past year, reflecting a market that has struggled to sustain longer-term upside momentum.

Dogecoin price tightens near long-standing support band

The current trading structure places Dogecoin price in a narrow band between $0.085 and $0.089, an area that has repeatedly acted as both support and resistance in recent sessions.

Bulls have consistently stepped in near the lower edge of this zone, particularly around $0.0850–$0.0855, preventing deeper breakdowns.

At the same time, upside moves have repeatedly stalled just under $0.089–$0.090, creating a compressed structure where neither buyers nor sellers have gained full control.

This tightening range has led analysts to describe the setup as a potential “apex zone,” where volatility typically contracts before a larger directional move.

The importance of the $0.085 level has been highlighted by several short-term reactions.

Each time the Dogecoin price approached this area, buying pressure returned, pushing DOGE back toward the mid-range near $0.088.

On the upper side, resistance around $0.0905 remains a key level that has not yet been convincingly broken.

The technical structure mirrors past breakout formations

The current setup has drawn comparisons to previous Dogecoin price cycles where prolonged compression preceded sharp expansions.

In earlier market phases, particularly during the 2020–2021 period, DOGE traded in tightening structures before breaking into extended rallies that pushed the memecoin’s price toward its all-time high of $0.7316, reached on May 8, 2021.

A similar pattern is being observed again by technical analysts tracking longer-term formations.

Market analysts note that the Dogecoin price recently rebounded from the $0.0850 zone, briefly moving above $0.0870 and reclaiming short-term momentum indicators such as the 100-hour moving average.

The resistance identified in the current structure includes $0.0920, which has acted as a rejection point in prior moves.

A sustained break above that level would open the path toward $0.0950 and potentially the psychological $0.1000 region, where trading activity typically increases.

On the downside, failure to maintain support at $0.0850 could expose lower levels around $0.0820 and $0.0800, zones that previously acted as consolidation areas during earlier declines.

Another perspective comes from Tardigrade, who describes DOGE as retesting the apex of a long-term triangle formation.

According to Tardigrade, similar compression phases in previous cycles were followed by rapid expansions once the price broke out of the narrowing range.

The current retest suggests that volatility has been steadily declining, a condition often associated with breakout setups rather than trend continuation.

$Doge/monthly (Heikin Ashi)#Dogecoin just retested the apex of the triangle — and it’s ready to send.

What to watch out for

With DOGE trading near $0.088, the market remains positioned between a well-defined support base and a ceiling that has repeatedly capped upside attempts.

The compressed structure, combined with repeated tests of both boundaries, has created a technical environment where a decisive move is increasingly expected.

The next directional signal is likely to come from a clean break outside the $0.085–$0.092 range.

Hyperliquid traded near $67 on June 15, according to crypto.news price data, after gaining more than 9% in 24 hours. 

The token also rose more than 9% over seven days and more than 63% over the past month, keeping HYPE among the strongest large-cap crypto movers.

The latest move placed HYPE close to its June 2 all-time high of $75.48. Market data showed 24-hour volume near $871 million, while market capitalization stood near $14.9 billion. Hyperliquid held the No. 10 market rank, with a fully diluted value near $64 billion.

That rebound followed a sharp pullback from the early June peak. The token had dropped toward the mid-$50 area before buyers pushed it back into the $60 to $67 zone. This makes the current range important because it sits between recent support and the right-shoulder area flagged by analysts.

HYPE $65 resistance remains the key level

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said HYPE is forming what looks like the right shoulder of a head-and-shoulders pattern. 

“For now, $65 is the key resistance level,” he wrote. “Lose $54, and the bearish pattern would be confirmed.”

The four-hour chart places the left shoulder near the mid-$60 range, the head around $75.63, and the right shoulder below the same resistance area. This shows that buyers have not yet reclaimed the previous high after the drop from the head.

Price has recently traded near and above the $65 area, but traders still need to see whether it can hold that zone. A clean move above $65 would weaken the bearish setup and shift attention back toward the upper range.

The main support level remains near $54.61. If sellers push HYPE below that level, the chart would confirm the bearish pattern. The next downside levels marked on the setup sit near $48.14 and $40.66.

ETF inflows and derivatives activity rise

HYPE also drew new market activity through fund flows and derivatives. SoSoValue data showed HYPE spot ETFs recorded about $5.87 million in net inflows during the week from June 8 to June 12. Bitwise BHYP led the flows, while Grayscale HYPG also added inflows.

Coinglass data showed HYPE derivatives volume rising 69.69% to $3.61 billion. Open interest rose 11.36% to $2.86 billion. Rising open interest can point to stronger trader participation, but it can also raise liquidation risk when price moves fast.

Recent crypto.news coverage showed that derivatives interest had already been rising before the latest move. Kalshi launched CFTC-regulated HYPE perpetual futures for U.S. traders, while HYPE futures open interest climbed 10.7% to $2.48 billion at the time and moved above XRP.

Separately, Coinbase activated Hyperliquid’s USDC treasury after becoming the official USDC deployer for the network. That update came as Hyperliquid ecosystem activity expanded, with USDC serving as collateral for HIP-3 and HIP-4 markets.

These updates kept HYPE in focus as traders watched whether new products could support deeper liquidity.

Spot flow data also turned positive in the latest visible reading. Around June 15 at 03:00, HYPE showed about $2.32 million in netflow while trading near $67.31. Recent green bars showed stronger activity after several red outflow periods.

The flow picture remains mixed. Positive netflow can support price when it reflects buying demand. It can also show more tokens moving into spot platforms. For that reason, traders may watch whether price holds above $65 after the new activity.

Momentum signals stay mixed

Technical indicators show recovery, but not a clear bullish reset. The RSI stood at 58.74, while its moving average was around 54.89. This keeps RSI above the neutral 50 level and shows buyers still have momentum.

Even so, RSI has cooled from the recent overbought zone. That means momentum remains positive, but it has slowed from the strong rally that pushed HYPE near record highs. A fresh move above the recent high zone would make the bullish case stronger.

The MACD shows short-term weakness. The MACD line was near 2.088, below the signal line at 2.584, while the histogram was slightly negative at about -0.495. This points to softer momentum after the recent surge, even though price remains elevated.

For now, HYPE price analysis centers on two levels. A move above $65 that holds could weaken the head-and-shoulders risk and bring the all-time high back into view. A break below $54 would confirm the bearish structure and raise the risk of deeper consolidation.

Aztec Labs says a deprecated DeFi platform, Aztec Connect, was drained of roughly $2.1 million in crypto after an attacker exploited a flaw tied to the way the protocol verified and settled transactions on Ethereum. The issue appears to have targeted the bridge-era contract logic rather than the live Aztec Network.

According to Aztec Labs’ update on X, the transfers were conducted from Aztec Connect’s smart contract, and the company said the incident did not impact users or assets on the current Aztec network. Still, the event adds to a broader pattern of this month’s exploit activity across decentralized finance.

Key takeaways

• Aztec Connect—deprecated since March 2023—lost about $2.1 million after an attacker abused its transaction verification and Ethereum settlement logic.
• BlockSec said the exploit stemmed from a mismatch between “verified” transaction inputs and the set enforced by the ZK proof, enabling unbacked balances.
• The attacker reportedly withdrew funds multiple times across seven different assets, including 909 ETH and 270,000 DAI.
• Aztec Labs stated it holds no admin keys and cannot pause or upgrade the system, and developers described Aztec Connect contracts as effectively immutable.
• The incident follows other large June compromises, including a reported $30 million loss tied to Humanity Protocol and $8 million from a Syscoin bridge exploit.

What happened to Aztec Connect

Aztec Labs posted on X that it was investigating a potential exploit affecting Aztec Connect. The company said approximately $2.1 million was moved from the platform’s smart contract, while the active Aztec network—its current privacy-focused layer-2 ZK rollup on Ethereum—was not affected.

Crypto security firm BlockSec later described the mechanics behind the exploit. In its analysis, BlockSec said an attacker took advantage of how Aztec Connect verified transactions and how those transactions were settled on Ethereum. The core problem, according to BlockSec, was a mismatch in binding: verified transactions on the Aztec Connect contract were “not effectively bound” to the transaction set enforced by the ZK proof.

A verification-versus-settlement mismatch enabled unbacked withdrawals

BlockSec explained that this gap allowed the verification path and settlement logic on Ethereum to “interpret the transaction list differently.” In practical terms, that created a path where the contract could credit value for transactions that were not validated on Ethereum in the way the settlement logic expected.

Once the attacker introduced transactions that resulted in unbacked balances, those balances could be withdrawn. BlockSec said the exploitation occurred seven times across seven different assets, suggesting the attacker used repeatable steps to drain multiple token balances rather than relying on a single one-off failure.

The assets reported as stolen include 909 Ether (ETH), 270,000 Dai (DAI), 167 wrapped staked Ether (wstETH), and several other cryptocurrencies. A related breakdown posted by CertiK on X referenced the scope of the stolen assets.

Why a deprecated bridge contract still matters

Aztec Connect was the earlier bridge version of Aztec’s system, launched in 2022. Aztec Network is now described as a privacy-focused layer-2 ZK rollup on Ethereum, with Aztec Connect representing the prior generation of tooling.

Aztec Connect was deprecated in March 2023, with deposits halted as the team directed efforts toward the next-generation Aztec Network. However, Aztec Labs maintained that it did not have control over the compromised component: the company stated it “holds no admin keys or control over the system,” adding that it cannot pause or upgrade it.

Independent developer “Param” also said the Aztec Connect smart contracts became “fully immutable,” reinforcing the idea that once the bridge logic was retired, it could not be patched or stopped in response to later threats.

That distinction is important for investors and builders: even when a protocol is deprecated and deposits are halted, the remaining on-chain code and balances can still attract attackers—particularly if the contract cannot be upgraded or paused. In this case, an exploit surfaced more than a year after deprecation, illustrating how long-lived smart contract artifacts can remain security liabilities.

Broader exploit pressure in June

This Aztec Connect incident lands amid heightened exploit losses across DeFi. DeFiLlama data referenced in coverage points to at least $44 million stolen so far in June from 12 other exploits.

Earlier in the month, the largest loss highlighted was a reported $30 million suffered after a private key compromise on the Humanity Protocol on June 8. The day before, a Syscoin Bridge exploit reportedly resulted in $8 million stolen through a fake proof mechanism.

While each incident stems from different technical failures, the pattern is consistent: attackers continue to find weaknesses across both active and legacy contracts, and even well-known ecosystems can remain exposed through older infrastructure.

What to watch next

For users and DeFi operators, the main question is whether Aztec Labs will be able to offer any practical mitigation beyond investigation—especially given its claim that it cannot pause or upgrade the affected system. More broadly, readers should watch for additional forensic disclosures on the exact transaction-binding failure described by BlockSec, and whether the exploit pattern points to similar design risks in other retired bridge-era contracts.

Key Takeaways

• SpaceX (SPCX) shares climbed 5.6% in premarket trading Monday, hitting $169.92 following Friday’s impressive 19% Nasdaq launch
• The company’s $75 billion offering represents the largest IPO ever recorded, establishing a market valuation near $2.1 trillion
• Shares are trading at 61 times projected 2026 revenue despite ongoing losses
• CEO Elon Musk indicated on X that annual revenue could surpass $1 trillion within six years
• S&P 500 inclusion remains off the table for a minimum of one year under index eligibility requirements

Space Exploration Technologies made its trading debut Friday on the Nasdaq exchange using the SPCX ticker symbol, finishing the session 19% higher near $161 after launching at $150 per share. During opening-day trading, the stock reached a peak of $176.52.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., SPCX

Coming into Monday’s session, shares tacked on an additional 5.6% in premarket activity, touching $169.92. The advance coincided with broader market strength, as S&P 500 futures climbed 1.3% following news of an interim peace agreement between the United States and Iran.

The offering generated $75 billion in proceeds, establishing a new benchmark for IPO size. SpaceX finished its inaugural trading day with a market capitalization around $2.1 trillion.

First-day volume exceeded 500 million shares, nearing the approximately 580 million shares that changed hands when Facebook went public in 2012.

If SPCX had qualified for S&P 500 membership, its Monday premarket performance would have placed it fourth among index constituents. Only Micron Technology, Seagate Technology, and Western Digital posted stronger gains.

Building Momentum Early

The three top performers — Micron, Seagate, and Western Digital — have all developed momentum characteristics in recent months, attracting buyers during rallies who anticipate continued appreciation. SpaceX shows early signs of similar investor behavior just two days into public trading.

During a JPMorgan Chase livestream before the listing, Musk revealed that SpaceX has maintained positive cash flow since approximately 2015 and characterized the public offering as launching “a significant growth phase.” He detailed ambitious plans including deploying over 100,000 satellites and establishing artificial intelligence data centers in orbit.

The lofty valuation has drawn skepticism from certain market participants. Current pricing represents 61 times anticipated 2026 sales for a company that remains unprofitable.

Musk took to X on Sunday to suggest SpaceX revenue could exceed $1 trillion by 2030, commenting on a Morgan Stanley projection shared on the platform.

The Expanding Space Industry

Jefferies analysts released research alongside the IPO estimating the worldwide space economy has grown to $600 billion and projects expansion to $1.8 trillion by 2035, with defense applications representing the fastest-growing sector.

The United States government represents approximately 60% of worldwide government space expenditures, totaling roughly $80 billion. The Space Force budget surged 40% year-over-year in fiscal 2026, reaching $40 billion — significantly exceeding NASA’s $24 billion allocation.

SpaceX ranks as NASA’s second-largest commercial partner by contract value, securing $2.1 billion in 2025 agreements spanning launch operations, communications systems, and IT infrastructure.

Jefferies observed that “the U.S. government has effectively outsourced significant space activity to SpaceX, creating an inextricable linkage between federal spending priorities and the company’s business.”

SpaceX remains ineligible for S&P 500 inclusion for at least 12 months following its IPO, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices eligibility criteria.

Crypto traders will hope the week offers a reprieve to months of geopolitical anxiety that has stifled risk assets following Sunday’s announcement of an interim peace deal between the U.S. and Iran.

Bitcoin climbed to nearly $66,000 on Monday, almost 3.5% above Friday’s level, while cryptocurrency-linked equities including Strategy (MSTR) and Galaxy (GLXY) advanced in pre-market trading.

There’s still a note of caution, though. A ceasefire in April fell apart, and U.S. strikes broke another truce last month, with crypto prices taking a hit.

Wednesday sees Kevin Warsh’s first interest-rate decision as Federal Reserve chair. The forecast is for no change in the current level.

The introduction of a fresh dot plot — which charts individual Fed policymakers’ interest-rate projections — combined with a shortened trading week due to Friday’s Juneteenth federal holiday, suggests liquidity will likely decline.

The week’s data calendar and the Fed’s guidance will ultimately determine whether crypto can capitalize on the apparent geopolitical tailwind and build a definitive recovery.

Conferences

After four months of war, the US and Iran reached a deal on June 14. Bitcoin rose 2%, not 20%. The gap between the headline and the price move is a lesson the market learned the hard way, three broken ceasefires ago.

On June 14, 2026, Donald Trump posted to Truth Social that the deal with Iran was complete, authorized the toll-free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, lifted the US naval blockade, and signed off with a flourish: “Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” It was the end, on paper, of a four-month war that began in late February with coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, escalated through a closed strait and a naval blockade, and survived three or four collapsed ceasefires along the way. Markets had spent the entire conflict whipsawing on every headline. Here, finally, was the headline that ended it.

Bitcoin rose about 2%, to roughly $65,700, its highest level since the early-June crash. Oil fell harder than Bitcoin rose, with WTI dropping toward $81 and Brent sliding to multi-month lows from the triple digits it touched at the height of the war. Equity futures climbed. By the standard of what the headline announced, the end of a war that had threatened a fifth of the world’s oil supply, a 2% Bitcoin move is restraint bordering on indifference.
