It remains ~67% from its highest level in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The coin faces major headwinds, which may drag its price in the near term. For example, it faces a major challenge on the ongoing crypto market crash,<strong> <\/strong>which has affected Bitcoin and most altcoins.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the futures open interest has continued falling in the past few months, moving from a high of $5.20 billion in September to the current $1.16 billion. Falling open interest is a sign that demand has continued falling in the past few months.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>More data shows that the weighted funding rate has remained in the red in the past few days. It dropped to the lowest level since February 10. A falling funding rate is a sign that investors believe that the coin will continue falling in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>The same is happening in the exchange-traded fund market this year. Data compiled by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-doge-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SoSoValue<\/a> shows that spot three spot DOGE ETFs by companies like Grayscale, 21Shares, and Bitwise have not had any inflows or outflows since February 3 this year. These funds now have had over $6.67 million in cumulative inflows, bringing the net inflows to $8.69 million.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dogecoin price technical analysis\u00a0<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">DOGE price chart |Source: crypto.news\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The daily timeframe chart shows that the DOGE price has been in a strong downward trend in the past few months, moving from a high of $0.3073 in September last year.<\/p>\n<p>Dogecoin price has dropped below the key support level at $0.1295, its lowest level on April 7 last year. It has fallen below all moving averages, while the Percentage Price Oscillator remains below the zero line.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the coin continues falling, potentially to the year-to-date low of $0.0790, its lowest level this month.
