$DOGE On October 2nd, that 4-hour candlestick—the lower wick went straight down to 0.09014.
From the high near 0.098, it kept dumping all the way down; the low dropped by nearly 8%. Volume was 161M, about two to three times the amount on the previous several candlesticks. This is a typical panic-selling batch getting cleared. Then what? It didn’t fall any further.
After the needle, the price closed at 0.09143. Then the next two candlesticks slowly crawled upward, and we’re back to 0.09295. The 24-hour drop has narrowed to -1.88%.
I checked the volume ratio: the latest 4-hour candlestick only traded 2.3M. That’s about 3% of the average of the previous 20 candles. When volume shrinks to this extent, it means the sell pressure is already exhausted. Nobody is willing to keep smashing at this level.
**Market signals**
Support at 0.09014, resistance at 0.09799. Price is stuck in the lower-middle range. Looking at the last 30 candles, it’s still mostly ranging around 0.093 overall—no clear direction, but it’s waiting. Waiting for what? Waiting for a catalyst—either the broader market stabilizes or funds flow back in; any one of those signals is enough.
**Market sentiment**
Funding rate +0.0099% per 8 hours—almost zero. Longs don’t have the confidence to add, and shorts also aren’t chasing after a win. Sentiment is at a bottom. But after doing this for so long, I know that this kind of quiet often comes right before a turning point. The more silent it is, the bigger the move afterward.
**Whale activity**
That October 2nd high-volume bearish candle looks more like large funds actively shaking the market. After the wick insertion, it immediately shrank in volume and stabilized. If it were a real breakdown, it wouldn’t close so steadily. It feels more like washing out floating supply so things can be reset with lighter loads. With a trade value of 627M, it’s not hard for the main players to control the market.
**Volume-price structure**
Down move with rising volume, rebound with shrinking volume. Superficially it looks weak, but combined with the wick-insertion pattern, it looks more like a buildup after the chip exchange is completed. Volume ratio 0.03, at an extreme level. With such extreme contraction, you either grind lower with bearish candles, or you get pulled back sharply by one bullish candle—I lean toward the latter.
**Candlestick details**
The candle on 10-02 at 16: open 0.09507, low 0.09014, close 0.09143. The lower wick length is more than twice the body. It’s a textbook hammer. After that, the next two candles closed bullish in a row, confirming the effectiveness of this support. Pay attention to the rebound from 0.09014 to 0.09327: the volume was 58.7M and 49.5M respectively. It’s not huge, but it’s far stronger than the latest 2.3M. That shows that during the early rebound, there were still people stepping in.
**Nini’s plan**
Current price is 0.09295. In the short term, 0.09014 is the bottom as long as it doesn’t break. The rebound target is first 0.095; if it breaks through, then look at 0.098. If it breaks below 0.090, cut losses and exit—no stubborn holding. Keep position size within 30%. Don’t gamble.
Slightly bullish. The wick with high volume, followed by low-volume stabilization, is one of the entry signals I like. After panic selling is cleared, the rebound is often the strongest, because the shorts have already used up their bullets.
