Dogecoin (DOGE) concluded 2025 with a significant drop in market activity, as its 24-hour trading volume fell by 25% to approximately $682 million, according to data from CoinMarketCap. This decline mirrors a broader slowdown across the cryptocurrency market during the holiday season, with on-chain analytics platform Santiment noting that Bitcoin and altcoins have seen their lowest trading volumes in the second half of December compared to the same period in 2024.
Despite the volume crash, Dogecoin's price has remained remarkably stable, trading in a tight range between $0.1213 and $0.1275 since December 27. Market momentum indicators have flattened, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stagnating at a level of 37, suggesting a slight bearish sentiment. Analysts indicate this tight consolidation could precede a significant price move, with potential resistance levels at $0.146 and $0.195, and support near $0.09.
Looking ahead, Dogecoin's corporate arm, House of Doge, has teased major developments slated for 2026. The initiatives focus on expanding Dogecoin's utility as a payment method. Plans include the rollout of B2B and B2C payment solutions starting in Q1 2026, featuring a rewards debit card usable at over 150 million merchants globally. Additional tools for merchants, such as embeddable wallets and enterprise acceptance solutions, are also in the pipeline. The organization also expects to announce partnerships with leading industry players in the coming months, signaling a continued push for mainstream adoption despite current market lethargy.
