Dogecoin saw a sharp rise in social media engagement alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ZCash, driven by Reddit sweepstakes mentions and market chatter, while its price action stayed bearish. Onchain indicators such as Mean Coin Age, Age Consumed, MVRV, and Net Unrealized Profit/Loss pointed to network-wide accumulation, deep unrealized losses, and a capitulation phase, even as DOGE traded within a narrow range between $0.122 and $0.133 and eyed $0.135 as a key resistance.

Ethereum is trading around $2,947 with weekly support still holding, while analysts outline support near $2,618, $2,252 and $1,818 and resistance between $3,348 and $4,619 as key zones into 2026. On the daily chart, ETH remains locked in a range around $2,940, with several potential paths including moves toward overhead resistance, retests of lower support or extended sideways action as 2026 approaches.

Dogecoin is trading at $0.1242, up 1.02% over 24 hours, as the total crypto market capitalization reaches $2.97 trillion.

The brief update did not include any confirmation of new purchases or transaction details but revived debate over the firm's long-term approach. With Bitcoin consolidating in the high-$80,000 range and key indicators such as RSI and MACD showing cooling momentum, some traders see the current setup as consistent with Strategy's historically conviction-driven buying phases.

Early 2026 is not expected to bring sharp swings.
