Dogecoin (DOGE) hasn’t moved much, and that’s the problem. It’s down 6% week-on-week and has failed to convincingly clear $0.17555 recently despite multiple attempts.

While earlier whale inflows and positive funding rates hinted at a breakout, newer metrics tell a different story.

Even with the price climbing in late June, Dogecoin’s active address count hasn’t picked up. The number of daily transacting wallets, a key signal of retail and organic demand, has stayed largely flat with minor spikes across intervals.

That’s a red flag. It suggests the rally attempts are not being backed by new or returning users.

When prices move higher without a corresponding rise in address activity, the rally is often short-lived. Past Dogecoin breakout attempts show that address spikes either precede or follow strong moves. That’s missing here, and it shows.

Active Addresses track wallets that interact with the network daily. If they decline or stay stagnant, it usually reflects weak user participation and low transaction demand.

Dogecoin’s MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) Z-Score remains below zero, signaling that most holders are sitting on unrealized losses. This means that sell-off risks are relatively low.

Historically, DOGE has often rallied after dipping into negative MVRV territory, with price usually bottoming just as the Z-Score starts to rebound. But this time, that recovery hasn’t kicked in yet.

In past cycles, when MVRV turned negative and then reversed upward, it marked the beginning of fresh upside. But DOGE’s current MVRV trend is still flat, suggesting that even though the coin is undervalued, the market hasn’t started re-accumulating in size.

MVRV Z-Score compares DOGE’s current market value to the average cost basis of all holders. A negative reading means the average wallet is in loss, which often signals undervaluation, but only becomes bullish if followed by renewed buying pressure.

Dogecoin continues to trade inside a descending triangle pattern. The $0.17555 resistance has been tested multiple times. Meanwhile, support levels near $0.161 have been repeatedly broken and reclaimed, a sign of weakening structure.

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) has been trending lower, even as the DOGE price holds higher lows: a classic bearish divergence. This means that while the price looks stable, the underlying strength is weakening. The flat active address count reinforces this finding. 

RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures momentum. A falling RSI paired with rising DOGE  price indicates buyers are losing control, often preceding a pullback. Therefore, even a resistance breakout might not be the strongest possible sign, as a pullback might be on the cards. 

If the price slides under $0.161 again, the bearish triangle setup persists. The invalidation zone remains below $0.1567, with a break there opening room for a deeper correction.

However, if bulls manage to push through $0.17555, the next resistance is near $0.1832.
