Crypto analyst Crypto Paradise has warned that a Dogecoin trap is on the horizon, with the meme coin likely to suffer a crash soon. He pointed to a bearish pattern that signaled DOGE could drop to around $0.08 despite its recent reclaim of the $0.10 level.
Analyst Warns Of Dogecoin Trap With A Crash Imminent
In a TradingView analysis, Crypto Paradise predicted a potential sharp downside move for Dogecoin, although he noted that some market participants may just call it a healthy pullback. He revealed that the meme coin had formed a classic Volume Spread Analysis pattern, which began with a buying climax followed by a climactic action bar.

The analyst noted that this combination typically shows a distribution in which institutional investors use aggressive upward spikes to offload positions amid retail enthusiasm. Crypto Paradise added that when the crowd feels confident, smart money is already exiting their positions.
Notably, his analysis comes amid Dogecoin’s brief reclaim of the psychological $0.10 level today, with the meme coin rallying as Bitcoin broke above $79,000. However, Crypto Paradise’s prediction indicates that DOGE is still likely to see another crash, which could send the meme coin to new lows.
DOGE Could Drop To Around $0.08917
Crypto Paradise stated that if the bearish momentum in Dogecoin continues, the next major downside target is around $0.08917 and could be reached sooner than most expect. Commenting on the current price action, he noted that DOGE has swept the upper trigger line of the buying climax but has failed to sustain higher levels, with a candle breaking below the lower trigger line.

The analyst explained that this is a classic confirmation that supply is dominating. Meanwhile, from a structural perspective, he noted that Dogecoin has clearly respected the descending resistance trendline and has failed to break above it. Crypto Paradise remarked that this rejection is likely because of an ongoing structural weakness.
At the same time, Crypto Paradise noted that market momentum has shifted to the downside and that the overall structure is bearish, further strengthening the bear case for Dogecoin. In line with this, the analyst declared that DOGE risks a move lower as long as the price remains within the 1-hour order block and fair value gap zone.
The immediate minor support for Dogecoin is around $0.09290, which will act as the first downside magnet if selling pressure persists. On the other hand, Crypto Paradise stated that this bearish outlook could be invalidated if DOGE manages to break above the key resistance at $0.10338 with a strong momentum candle.
At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $77,700, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
