Dogecoin Price Drops 8% Today (26/8/25): Is DOGE at a Critical Juncture?

Jakarta, Pintu News – Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to lag behind the overall altcoin market. On August 25, DOGE was trading at $0.22, down 32.50% since the beginning of the year (YTD) despite several other cryptocurrencies rising.

Looking ahead, a possible rate cut in September could be a catalyst for a broader crypto market recovery. While many altcoins could potentially reach new highs before then, Dogecoin’s technical indicators and on-chain data point to a more limited performance.

Here are the reasons why DOGE’s price surge may be lagging compared to other altcoins, citing a CCN report (Aug 25).

Dogecoin Price Drops 8.33% in 24 Hours

On August 26, 2025, Dogecoin’s price dropped by 8.33% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.2098, or approximately IDR 3,434. Over the past 24 hours, DOGE’s price fluctuated between IDR 3,376 and IDR 3,746.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin’s market capitalization is around IDR 514.76 trillion, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately IDR 51.42 trillion.

Dogecoin Bears Rule the Market

On the 4-hour chart (25/8), Dogecoin price failed to break the upper trend line of its symmetrical triangle, with strong resistance sitting at $0.24. Instead, DOGE is at risk of falling below the lower trend line of the triangle, where the support level is at $0.22.

This weakness is reinforced by the decline in the Bull Bear Power (BBP). As of August 25, the BBP has dropped to -0.016, confirming that sellers are currently in control, reducing the probability of a bullish breakout in the short term.

Amidst this, the Bollinger Bands (BB) have widened, signaling increased volatility in the DOGE market. When the bands widen, it usually means that the price is ready to move quickly.

In this case, volatility can push the DOGE in both directions – if the price drops below support, a decline is likely, while a surprise breakout above resistance can trigger a rapid rally.

No Strong Support

With bears dominating the market, the Dogecoin price could drop below the $0.20 level. Analysts at X have pointed out that DOGE is now at a tipping point, where its next move could determine its short-term direction.

For example, Pakistani crypto analyst Muhammad Imran highlighted $0.20 as a crucial support level that could either hold and trigger a recovery, or collapse and trigger further declines.

According to him, this zone will “determine” DOGE’s next big move.

“DOGE is trading at 0.2177. Immediate support is around 0.2074-0.2077, which will be crucial to maintaining the trend. In the event of a bounce from here, prices could test 0.2395, with stronger resistance near 0.2466. Failure to maintain support could extend the decline towards 0.2004,” Imran wrote.

DOGE Price at Critical Point

The DOGE/USD daily chart shows that the cryptocurrency has fallen below its 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

With the 20 EMA acting as resistance and sellers dominating the market, DOGE prices may continue to consolidate or move down, unless buying volumes increase.

Given the current conditions, bears might pull Dogecoin down to $0.19. If buyers fail to defend this level, the price could slide to $0.15. Conversely, if BBP turns positive and trading volume increases, this prediction could be invalidated. In that situation, the Dogecoin price could bounce to $0.31.

If the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates in September, DOGE’s price target could be higher, and DOGE could potentially reach $0.35.
