This level could serve as a springboard for a push toward $0.20 if bulls regain momentum.<\/p>\n<p>But the setup remains fragile. Since topping out near $0.25 in early May, DOGE has seen three failed breakout attempts, each met with sharp long liquidations, signaling weak follow-through from buyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the most recent drop to $0.14 marked the fourth consecutive lower low within a 60-day window, reinforcing the bearish market structure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DOGEUSDT_2025-06-29_11-59-57.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-506407\" class=\"wp-image-506407 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"DOGE\/USDT\" width=\"1835\" height=\"787\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DOGEUSDT_2025-06-29_11-59-57.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-506407\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<p>On the derivatives side, Binance\u2019s DOGE\/USDT perpetuals are showing a 75% long dominance, underscoring strong trader conviction.<\/p>\n<p>However, such heavily skewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/LongShortRatio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">positioning<\/a> also amplifies the risk of a crowded trade.
