On April 9, 2025, as concerns over the escalation of the China-U.S. trade war spread, Dogecoin (DOGE), the star token in the cryptocurrency market, once again became the focus of market attention. Recently, Dogecoin has gone through a series of hot events that have not only affected its price trend but have also sparked widespread discussion among investors and the market.
1. Price fluctuations under the shadow of trade wars
Recently, White House officials confirmed that the U.S. will impose tariffs of up to 104% on China, which will officially take effect at 12:00 PM Beijing time on April 9. The escalation of the trade war has intensified uncertainty in global markets, and investor sentiment has generally been low. Against this backdrop, mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin failed to break through key resistance levels and instead experienced declines, with Dogecoin also not spared. Its price has once again dipped to recent lows, reflecting a warming of market risk aversion.
Recently, Dogecoin (DOGE) has been fluctuating in the range of 0.160−0.175, with intense competition between bulls and bears in the market.
Key support level:
$0.160: Recently tested multiple times; if broken, it may accelerate the decline.
$0.145: The next important support level; if lost, it may trigger a larger sell-off
Resistance level: $0.25 is the short-term target, a breakthrough may lead to a new round of increases
2. Whales are buying heavily; the futures market sets records, with questions -- public account: want to eat soft rice hard
Whale activity surges: recent single-day large transactions exceeded 1.08 billion DOGE, indicating that institutions or large holders are still accumulating at lower prices.
Futures open interest hits a new high: reaching 10.35 billion DOGE, far exceeding the peak in 2024, indicating that market volatility may intensify.
50-day moving average (SMA) bullish, short-term target 0.50; if it breaks through the 0.40 resistance level, the upward momentum may accelerate.
3. Musk ignites the 'D.O.G.E' storm again, supported by favorable policies
Musk's appointment as head of the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (D.O.G.E) has sparked market speculation that he may promote DOGE payment applications.
The Trump administration's friendly attitude towards cryptocurrencies may further boost DOGE demand if regulation is relaxed.
Historical experience: January is usually the best-performing month for DOGE, with an average return rate of 85%, but whether it can replicate this in 2025 remains to be seen.
4. $1 target in 2025: reality or fantasy?
Optimistic forecast: Some analysts believe that if market sentiment improves, DOGE may reach 0.50−1.0047 by 2025.
Challenge: DOGE still lacks practical application scenarios; achieving a market cap of 100 billion (corresponding to 100 billion (corresponding to 1 price) requires strong market confidence.
Short-term strategy: Focus on the 0.160 support level; if broken, further pullbacks should be cautious; a breakthrough of 0.25 can be seen as a bullish signal.
5. Market risks and investor recommendations
High volatility: DOGE's 24H price fluctuation often exceeds 10%, and leveraged trading carries extremely high risks.
Sentiment-driven: Musk's statements and policy changes may trigger sharp fluctuations, requiring close attention to market dynamics.
Rational investment: Short-term traders can accumulate at lower prices, while long-term holders need to assess the actual application progress of DOGE.
Conclusion
Dogecoin's Q2 2025 trend is influenced by whale buying, Musk's dynamics, and policy expectations. The short-term may maintain fluctuations, but if it breaks through key resistance levels, it may erupt. Investors need to closely monitor the $0.160 support level and changes in market sentiment for cautious decision-making.
