Heavy selling across digital assets drives DOGE 5% lower; desks eye base formation as liquidation pressure shows early signs of exhaustion.

DOGE followed the broader market liquidation triggered by renewed U.S.–China tariff rhetoric, sliding 5% from $0.21 highs to settle at $0.20. President Trump’s proposed 100% tariff plan erased roughly $19B in crypto market value, sparking forced liquidations across majors.
Despite the selloff, institutional desks report accumulation interest near the $0.20 handle as derivatives open interest resets to mid-September levels.
The House of Doge’s $50M Nasdaq debut through its Brag House Holdings merger continues to underpin long-term institutional narrative, though near-term flows remain risk-off.

DOGE traded a $0.0117 (6%) range between $0.21 and $0.20 through Oct. 14 21:00–Oct. 15 20:00.
Volume surged to 568.6M at 08:00 on the morning rally to $0.21 before sellers reclaimed control.
Heaviest liquidation hit 13:00–15:00 window with 920M turnover as price broke below $0.21.
Capitulation at 19:50 drove price to $0.20 lows on 12M volume, marking likely exhaustion.
DOGE stabilized near $0.20 into close with reduced volume, hinting early demand return.

Support remains firm around $0.20–$0.202, aligning with high-volume accumulation during liquidation troughs. Resistance stands at $0.21–$0.214, the zone capped by morning reversal volume.
Short-term structure remains fragile while DOGE trades under the 200-day moving average, but volume compression and stable bid depth at $0.20 suggest potential base-building. A clean reclaim of $0.21 could invite momentum longs targeting $0.224–$0.228.
Momentum indicators remain oversold; derivative funding turned sharply negative across Binance and OKX — conditions often preceding short-covering rallies.
