The weak market puts pressure on second-tier assets more than on leaders. When $ETH holds at $3200, part of the capital prefers to remain in base coins or stablecoins, and the demand for the meme segment takes a back seat. For $DOGE this means that even small sales packages can shift the price more due to thin order books and the caution of market makers. In such conditions, the mark of 15 cents ceases to be a psychological support and turns into a magnet that attracts movement during the next downward impulse.
The technique confirms the risk. After a series of unsuccessful bounces, broken supports become supply zones, and every rise meets unloading from those who are 'stuck' above. A healthy scenario is holding levels on retests and increasing volumes during calm sessions; until this is visible, the basic hypothesis remains the deepening of the correction. Additional pressure is created by derivatives: negative funding and a skew towards shorts accelerate the trend, turning ordinary spikes into prolonged movements.
But the fall does not cancel opportunities. If a dense ladder of limit buys appears below 15 cents and a series of higher lows begins, the market will have a chance to form a base. An important sign is the normalization of spreads and the return of the price above local levels while maintaining them without hysteria. Then short-term traders can work from confirmations, rather than 'chasing the candle', reducing the risk of accidental entry.
Practical tactics are simple. For the cautious — wait for confirmations of strength and avoid leverage; for the active — plan entry points only on retests with a short stop and lock in part of the profit at the nearest resistances. #DOGE remains a highly volatile asset sensitive to market sentiment, so discipline is more important than forecasts. If ETH holds and spot demand starts to flow in, pressure will ease; if the background remains weak, testing zones below 15 cents looks like a statistically probable scenario.
