Dogecoin fell to its lowest level in years after a decisive break of a multi-year head-and-shoulders pattern added fresh selling pressure during the recent cryptocurrency market rout.
summation
- Dogecoin price fell below its multi-year head-and-shoulders neckline, which put the meme coin back under bearish pressure.
- Crypto analyst Ali Martinez says DOGE is testing major channel support, with $0.1019 and $0.1156 acting as recovery targets if buyers participate.
- A break below the current support area could expose the next major downside level near $0.067.
Dogecoin (DOGE) price was trading near $0.081 on June 6 after falling more than 20% over the past week, according to crypto.news data. The decline comes as Bitcoin briefly fell below the $60,000 level, sparking massive liquidations across digital asset markets and sending the Crypto Fear and Greed Index deeper into extreme fear territory.
Additional pressures were also seen in the derivatives markets. Recent liquidation events across cryptocurrencies have wiped out billions of dollars in leveraged positions, with long-term traders accounting for the majority of forced closures.
Open interest in major crypto assets also declined sharply as traders reduced their risk exposure during the sell-off period.
However, on-chain data shows a different picture. As crypto.news reported earlier this week, analytics platform Alphractal said Dogecoin has turned lower after returning to its historically important accumulation zone between $0.10 and $0.11. The company noted that DOGE is trading near the lower boundary of the CVDD channel, a model designed to identify long-term value areas based on coin age and trading value.
Alphractal argued that similar areas emerged prior to Dogecoin’s major recovery in previous market cycles. The company also described the current structure as a period of quiet absorption rather than aggressive distribution, despite weak sentiment across the meme coin sector.
Years of head-and-shoulders analysis dominate the charts.
The weekly chart now shows one of the biggest bearish formations in Dogecoin history. Price has completed a head-shoulders pattern that has developed over two years, with the left shoulder forming in early 2024, the head near the late 2024 high at $0.48, and the right shoulder forming in the second half of 2025.
DOGE broke below the ascending neckline earlier this year and failed to regain it in subsequent rallies. Previous support near $0.16 has now turned into resistance, putting sellers firmly in control of the long-term trend.
Momentum indicators remain weak. The weekly MACD remains below its signal line, and the price continues to trade below the key moving averages that supported previous bull cycles. At the same time, the Aroon structure on the weekly time frame continues to favor the dominant downtrend.
Commenting on the market structure, cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noted that Dogecoin has already reached the $0.0883 target and is currently testing the lower boundary of the descending channel.
“I think a recovery to $0.1019 and $0.1156 remains possible as long as this support holds,” Ali wrote.
Support near $0.08 becomes the main battleground.
The most immediate support currently lies in the $0.08 region. Loss of this level would expose the psychological $0.067 area, which Ali identified as the next major supply-demand area below the market.
Failure to hold $0.067 could increase the likelihood of a move into long-term structural support area near $0.05, which is consistent with the historical consolidation levels seen prior to Dogecoin’s 2024 breakout.
Bulls still have a path to nullify the bearish setup. A recovery above $0.10 would put DOGE back inside Ali’s expected bounce zone, while a move above the broken neckline near $0.16 would weaken the head-and-shoulders collapse thesis and force traders to reassess the long-term trend.
The weekly chart is currently tilted towards further declines as Dogecoin trades below the neckline and previous accumulated range.
