Dogecoin Down 6%, But Traders Go Long: What Is Going On?

Dogecoin DOGE/USD is down 6% on the day, but traders focus on the medium-term trend, speculating that a rally is still in the making.

Cryptocurrency	Price	Market Cap	24-Hour Trend	7-Day Trend
Dogecoin DOGE/USD	$0.1813	$26.9 billion	-6.2%	+8.2%
Shiba Inu SHIB/USD	$0.00001334	$7.9 billion	-6.1%	+5.8%
Pepe PEPE/USD	$0.057830	$3.3 billion	-6.1%	+7.7%

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Trader Tardigrade highlighted that Dogecoin has shifted to an uptrend on the daily chart, forming higher highs and higher lows.

He marked certain levels for the meme coin's upward or downward trend.

Holding above the $0.178 critical support level maintains the uptrend, while $0.164 acts as major support and staying above this will reflect a sideways trend.

A drop below $0.164 could restart the downtrend, requiring Dogecoin to build momentum for breaking the structure again.

Statistics: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlights that 76.65% of traders on Binance Futures are long on DOGE, reinforcing a bullish outlook.
