Dogecoin's trading volume has declined in a quiet trading session following the weekend. In the last 24 hours, Dogecoin volume was down nearly 50% to $669 million according to CoinMarketCap data.
Crypto markets often see a "quiet" weekend, marked by lower trading volumes and liquidity which can result in slower price action and volatility from fewer trades. Volume can be lower than on weekdays, creating a thinner market.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin was down 0.48% in the last 24 hours to $0.108, a level most analysts are watching closely.
Dogecoin price faces a key test at this level after an earlier rise to $0.117 on May 6. Before the rise, Dogecoin price compressed into a very tight range with the $0.10 level acting as stiff resistance, preventing a breakout on five consecutive attempts.
Major cryptocurrencies paused their recent rally, with Dogecoin retreating, erasing weekly gains.
Dogecoin steadily rose from a low of $0.092 on April 20, reaching a high of $0.117 before it started declining into a tight range.
$0.10 remains key level
Dogecoin declined sharply from the $0.117 level, indicating profit-taking by short-term traders. $0.10 remains the critical support level to watch in the near term. If the $DOGE price rebounds from its current levels, buyers will again attempt to retest the $0.117 level. If they succeed in doing this, Dogecoin may rise to $0.14, then to $0.16.
On the other hand, a break and close below the $0.10 level suggest that $DOGE may remain within the $0.09 to $0.12 range for a few more days.
