- 24-hour net outflow of 242 million DOGE (Figure 4), of which large orders net sold 36.3 million DOGE, accounting for over 80% (Figure 5).
- The cumulative net outflow of main players over the past 5 days is 112 million DOGE (Figure 8), and short-term selling pressure has not been relieved.
- Short-term capital movement: A sudden net inflow of 5.91 million DOGE at the 30-minute level (Figure 8), which may be a signal for some funds to bottom fish.
3. Contract data: Short selling forces are strengthening.
- Sudden increase in positions: Total contract positions reach 2.568 billion DOGE (Figure 9), an increase of 4.2% from the previous value, with significant signs of short positions increasing.

Trading strategy.
Short term (4-8 hours).
The probability of downward oscillation > rebound.
- Shorting Opportunity: Price rebounds to the range of 0.23650-0.23750, combined with a 30-minute KDJ overbought signal (K > 80) for entry, with a stop loss at 0.23900.
- Cautious long: Only when it stabilizes above 0.23200 and net capital inflow in 1 hour > 5 million DOGE can one lightly try to go long, target 0.23500.
Medium term (1-3 days).
Direction depends on the actions of the main players.
- Break above 0.24150: If accompanied by a decrease in contract positions + net inflow of large orders, look up to 0.24800.
- Breaking below 0.22600: Need to set stop losses and reverse to pursue shorts, target 0.21500 (Bollinger lower band).
Risk warning.
1. Main player trap: Currently, there is a net outflow of large orders, but retail buying accounts for 44.5% (Figure 1), beware of main players creating false rebounds to lure in buyers.
2. Contract liquidation risk: In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation of DOGE contracts across the network reached $8.6 million (61% short positions), sharp declines are likely to trigger chain liquidations.
3. Event-driven: Pay attention to Binance's quarterly contract settlement (August 15), historical data shows a 37% increase in volatility 48 hours before settlement.
Ultimate conclusion.
DOGE is in a bearish-dominated oscillating downward channel. Until a clear reversal signal appears, the main strategy is to short on rallies, while key support levels can be used for rebounds. Strictly set stop losses, and prioritize observation during periods of increased volatility.
