- Dogecoin has dropped 75% from its 2025 peak, wiping billions in market value as ETF demand weakens.
- Futures open interest for Dogecoin has decreased by over 75%, indicating a decline in investor participation and reduced market activity.
- Bearish technical patterns, including a death cross and head-and-shoulders, point to a potential fall toward $0.080 support.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has dropped to $0.1227, marking a 75% decline from its peak earlier this year. This plunge has erased billions in market value. The sharp decline follows signs of weakening investor interest and minimal demand from institutional funds.
According to data from SoSoValue, inflows into Grayscale and Bitwise DOGE exchange-traded funds have stalled. These ETFs have not recorded any new inflows since December 11. Combined, the two hold just $5 million in assets with a modest $2 million in total inflows. The pause in ETF activity signals a lack of confidence in the token’s short-term prospects.
Futures Open Interest Retreats
Market data also shows a steep decline in futures open interest. Dogecoin’s open interest has fallen to approximately $1.4 billion, significantly lower than its year-to-date high of over $6 billion. This sharp contraction indicates a retreat of speculative capital and a decline in trading activity across derivatives markets.
Technical indicators support the bearish outlook. The three-day price chart reveals the formation of a death cross pattern as the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages crossed on December 9. This signal typically precedes continued downside momentum.
Additionally, Dogecoin has completed a head-and-shoulders formation. The pattern shows the head at $0.4855, the left shoulder near $0.2285, and the right shoulder around $0.30. The price has already breached the neckline, which further validates the bearish structure.
Indicators Point to Lower Support Levels
Momentum indicators, including the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD, continue to fall. These readings reflect growing bearish pressure. Analysts now anticipate that the next major support level could be $0.080, a price last seen in August 2024. This would represent an additional 35% decline from the current level.
Despite the persistent sell-off, a reversal could be signaled if the token breaks above $0.15. However, without renewed investor interest and stronger ETF inflows, a recovery above this level appears unlikely in the near term.
