- Selling pressure could see DOGE breakout of the compact range.
- Lack of demand in the futures market sees Spot CVD remain in perpetual decline.Â
Dogecoin’s [DOGE] traded within a compact price range over the past three weeks. Price oscillated between the range low of $0.0632 and the range high of $0.0700.
However, a range breakout looks imminent, especially with Bitcoin [BTC] experiencing a price correction. DOGE posted losses of 2.1% over the past 24 hours. This suggested that the breakout could be a bearish one.
Realistic or not, here’s DOGE’s market cap in BTC terms
Sellers poised to break below a key support level

DOGE’s market structure on the higher and lower timeframes has been bearish since early April. The break of the key $0.0632 support level on 10 June saw the price sink to a new year-low. However, bulls recovered slowly to stem the selling pressure.
Despite the bullish rebound, buyers have found momentum hard to come by, due to the selling pressure at the $0.0700 resistance level. This has kept DOGE stuck in a compact price range, although the on-chart indicators hinted at a possible bearish breakout.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been under the neutral 50, since 5 July. As of press time, it was on a dip, highlighting the waning buying pressure. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) was largely flat, which could be significant for bears.
A successful bearish breakout will see bears target the October 2022 low of $0.0582. Alternatively, if BTC rallies again above $31k, bulls can spring a surprise rally from the current support level.
Open Interest hinted at bearish sentiment in the market

Data from Coinalyze showed that the Open Interest has been on a downtrend after a sharp drop on 5 July. This showed confluence with the RSI which has also remained under the neutral 50 over the same period.

The aggregated Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) also remained in a massive decline amidst fluctuations in the funding rate. This hinted at market sentiment titling in favor of a bearish breakout for DOGE.
