Why It Matters: Technical Weakness
The hourly MACD for DOGE/USD is losing momentum in the bullish zone. The Relative Strength Index dropped below the 50 level. These indicators suggest weakening buying pressure.

A break below $0.1350 could send the price toward $0.1265 or $0.1250 in the near term. Bulls need to reclaim $0.1530 to target higher resistance zones.
