DOGE Price Tests $0.22 Barrier on Rising Volume, Setting Up Next Move

Dogecoin Rebounds to $0.22 After Defending $0.21, Traders Eye $0.225 Breakout Signal

Dogecoin regained ground to $0.22 after holding firm at $0.21, with trading volumes spiking to nearly 809 million DOGE, well above recent averages. The move puts focus on the $0.225 resistance level, a zone that could open the door to $0.25 if momentum extends.

Market Backdrop

The recovery played out during a turbulent 23-hour stretch between Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, reflecting the choppy tone across altcoins as Bitcoin weakened intraday. On-chain data showed turnover of 808.9M DOGE, up around 14% compared with the seven-day mean of 378.5M, pointing to elevated institutional participation.

Meme-coin activity also rotated into newer entrants such as XYZVerse and MAGACOIN FINANCE, signaling investor appetite for diversification beyond large-cap names. Meanwhile, global risk sentiment stayed cautious as trade frictions and diverging monetary policies weighed on markets, though some flows favored DOGE as a hedge.
