On Wednesday, April 9th, as Western financial markets opened, cryptocurrency volatility surged in line with global stock market fluctuations. The cryptocurrency market, while not directly involved in the ongoing trade wars, felt the impact of the prevailing bearish sentiment.

Since the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has fallen by over $1.5 trillion. With the VIX index indicating further volatility, memecoins, particularly Dogecoin (DOGE), are expected to experience heightened price swings.

Dogecoin Whale Activity

On-chain data reveals a recent increase in stablecoin supply on exchanges. This surge could indicate bullish traders protecting against liquidation, especially in perpetual contract markets, or holders exchanging volatile assets for stablecoins.

Simultaneously, Dogecoin investors holding at least 1 billion DOGE have sold over 1.32 billion coins in the last two days.

DOGE Price Outlook

After encountering resistance around $0.15, DOGE's price (USD) has shown increased bearish pressure. This large-cap memecoin, currently boasting a fully diluted valuation of approximately $21.75 billion, saw a roughly 4% increase during Asian trading hours, trading at approximately $0.147 at the time of writing.

However, this slight bullish bounce remains within bearish territory. Technically, DOGE has been in a downtrend for the past three months. Its price closely tracks Bitcoin, which has been affected by global trade tensions.

Weekly charts show DOGE/USD retesting a crucial logarithmic rising trendline established in late 2023. A breach of current support could trigger a 15-25% drop towards the $0.11-$0.124 support range.
