Why Dogecoin bulls must watch THIS hurdle after $0.22 rebound

Key Takeaways

Why did Dogecoin rebound?

DOGE bounced at $0.22 support, reclaiming 20-day and 50-day EMAs while holding the 100-day EMA trendline.

What DOGE signals point to $0.30?

Futures Open Interest jumped to $4.23 billion, and liquidity pockets above $0.25 suggest strong bullish positioning and trader appetite for higher levels.

Dogecoin [DOGE] bounced from a key technical level this week, reinforcing bullish sentiment. The memecoin slipped to $0.22 before recovering sharply, retesting its rising trendline support.

Bulls defended the $0.22 zone, sparking a 9% daily gain that preserved the broader uptrend. The zone aligned with the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), reinforcing its strength as support.

Following the rebound, DOGE crossed above the 20-day EMA at $0.24 and the 50-day EMA at $0.23. This technical shift boosted confidence in a potential move toward the $0.30 resistance.

DOGE on-chain metrics back technical setup

Adding to the aforementioned positive technicals, DOGE on-chain metrics also appeared to go hand in hand.

CoinGlass data showed that DOGE Futures Open Interest (OI) surged significantly to $4.23 billion at press time, reflecting a surge in speculative traders’ positioning and institutional participation.

Rising OI typically indicates more capital entering the market, magnifying future volatility.

History repeats at trendline support

It is not the first time DOGE has bounced this way. Back in early July and earlier this month, similar rebounds off a trendline support led to sharp rallies of 15–20% within just a few days.

That historical pattern left traders watching $0.30 as the next upside target. Still, sentiment could shift if profit-taking accelerates or if Funding Rates spike.

For now, both the chart and positioning tilt bullish.
