DOGE is now at 0.0696u, grinding right at the recent lows.

First, the conclusion: I won’t chase this level. The core issue is still money—spot saw 3-hour net outflows hitting 600 million (600 million in the same unit), and for 12 straight funding candles none turned positive. Compared with the last time I posted, it’s even harsher. Big capital has been continuously flowing out, and the price is held down by this momentum—down isn’t fast, but it hasn’t stopped.

But the order book isn’t one-sided either. In this recent stretch, the spot proactive buy ratio has been pushed to 6 times, and proactive contract buying has also picked up. In the 15-minute window, small net inflows have started to appear. Combined with all the “missed DOGE” narratives and breakout posts on the plaza, sentiment has been boosted a lot.

The problem is this: sentiment is hot, but funds are cold. Price is still below the 10/50/200 moving averages, and volume has shrunk to less than half of usual. The technical picture is also neutral-to-bearish. Right now it looks like small money is trying to catch, while big money is still withdrawing—both sides haven’t formed a true alliance. Fees aren’t high, basis is near zero, and nobody is being forced into a corner.

Plainly put: both bulls and bears are waiting for the other side to move first. If it breaks below 0.0695, that low, watch out for acceleration. If it rises, you’d want to see real spot inflows of actual money—just shouting signals on the plaza isn’t enough.

In a spot like this where the data conflicts, my choice is to observe. If you want to get involved, wait for direction to be confirmed first. Chasing a breakout isn’t great in terms of risk-reward, and catching falling knives is unnecessary.
