As Dogecoin (DOGE) price surged by more than 26% over the past seven days, reaching a market capitalization of $15.23 billion on Tuesday, it retested a major year-to-date (YTD) resistance level.
After its impressive rally last week, DOGE price has been trapped in a consolidation over the past three days. This large-cap dog-themed memecoin has fallen 2.87% over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.0888 on August 25.
At the time of publication, DOGE had a reported trading volume of nearly $1.2 billion for the past 24 hours. The token’s 24-hour futures volume was $2.09 billion while its Open Interest (OI), the total unsettled futures in the derivatives market, was at $1.45 billion, according to data from CoinGlass.
Worth noting that Dogecoin’s OI has surged to its highest level since May 16, thus signaling a heating up of its derivatives market.
What’s next for the DOGE price?
The recent Dogecoin price rally has pushed it to a major YTD resistance logarithmic trendline. The last two times that DOGE price retested this YTD resistance trendline resulted in a 40% selloff in the subsequent days.
Dogecoin’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) recently surged to its YTD’s peak, currently at 71.60, which signals an overbought condition. On the other hand, the daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line and Signal line have all crossed above the Zero line, suggesting a strong bullish uptrend for the first time since early May, 2026.
From a technical analysis standpoint, if Dogecoin price consistently breaks above its YTD resistance trend, its recent bullish momentum could strengthen. However, if the recent FOMO (fear of missing out) fails to push DOGE price above its YTD resistance trend line, a potential selloff could be inevitable.
