Markets, Dogecoin, Trading, News RSI and OBV readings on lower timeframes suggest short-term exhaustion, but macro sentiment remains net bullish. 

Dogecoin posted a powerful 6% surge during the July 9–10 trading session, blasting through resistance in an explosive rally before retreating into a sharp late-session reversal.

News Background: Trade Pause and Rate Bets Fuel Risk Rally

• Market sentiment improved after the U.S. extended its “Liberation Day” tariff deadline by three weeks, buying time for trade negotiations and easing short-term pressure on risk assets.
• Meanwhile, expectations of a July Fed rate cut are climbing, with major banks pricing in 25–100bps in cuts over Q3 if inflation data underwhelms next week.
• These macro shifts gave crypto markets a tailwind, helping DOGE and other high-beta assets bounce sharply off key support levels.

Price Action Summary

• DOGE surged 6% from $0.170 to $0.186 between July 9 03:00 and July 10 02:00.
• Breakout occurred between 19:00–20:00 July 9, where price jumped $0.007 and volume spiked to 1.52B — nearly double the 24H average.
• Strong resistance emerged at $0.186 as price was repeatedly rejected on heavy volume.
• Support held around $0.180–$0.181 going into session close.
• In the final hour (02:28–03:27), DOGE fell 0.55% from $0.181 to $0.180, forming a sharp reversal pattern with rising downside momentum.

Technical Analysis

• Range: $0.016 or 9.23% between $0.170 low and $0.186 high.
• Resistance: $0.186 peak, with repeated high-volume rejection during 21:00–23:00.
• Support: $0.180–$0.181 zone held into close, but fractured during final hour selloff.
• Breakdown: 02:28–03:27 session saw support levels at $0.1808, $0.1806, and $0.1803 break consecutively under heavy sell volume — signaling institutional distribution.
• Volume: 1.52B on breakout, 4.9M during final reversal, confirming both bull entry and bear exit.

What Traders Are Watching

• Can DOGE reclaim $0.186 and flip resistance into support? Watch for sustained volume above this level.
• If downside continues, $0.176 and $0.172 are next potential support levels from prior consolidation zones.
• RSI and OBV readings on lower timeframes suggest short-term exhaustion, but macro sentiment remains net bullish.
• July 9–10’s range could form the “handle” in a larger weekly cup-and-handle pattern — validation would require a breakout above $0.195 with high volume.

Takeaway

DOGE appears to be coiling for a breakout. Several bullish technical patterns—including a multi-year cup‑and‑handle, higher‑low base, and triple bottom—align with a surge in institutional whale accumulation.

A decisive move above the $0.175–$0.20 resistance zone, especially with spike in volume, could trigger a powerful rally toward $0.25 and beyond.
