Dogecoin was trading near $0.0858 on September 15, 2026, after buyers defended support around $0.080-$0.082 and large holders accumulated more than 240 million DOGE. Trading volume rose 87.54% to $1.30 billion while open interest remained near $1.25 billion, suggesting stronger participation without a comparable increase in leveraged positions. DOGE has bounced twice from the lower boundary of an ascending channel after falling from above $0.11 in May to below $0.07 in August, and has mostly traded between $0.08 and $0.09 since then. Trader Tardigrade identified $0.093 as the next target, but DOGE must clear resistance around $0.088-$0.09 before $0.10 comes into view. Momentum indicators have improved, although reported RSI readings vary by measurement period, from about 44 in earlier coverage to 56.55 on September 15. The DOGE-1 lunar mission, funded by Geometric Energy Corporation and scheduled for a September 2026 launch window with SpaceX as launch provider, is a separate catalyst for attention.
