Dogecoin climbed about 2% to $0.096 over the last 24 hours, triggering $470,140 in liquidations equal to 4,897,291 DOGE from mostly short positions. After rebounding from a March 8 low of $0.086 and touching $0.101 on March 13, the meme coin is now consolidating in a narrow range around $0.094 to $0.097, with traders watching resistance near $0.12 and support around $0.09. Possible future moves include a push toward $0.16 on a decisive break above $0.12 or a slide toward $0.0799 if the $0.09 floor fails, while an upcoming payments feature on X is also being monitored as a potential catalyst.

Analysis covering the 90 days before and after the December 3 Ethereum Fusaka upgrade shows a sharp rise in address poisoning scams and dust transfers, especially in stablecoins. USDT transfers under $0.01 jumped 612% to 29.9 million, while USDC, ETH, and DAI dust activity also climbed, enabling large-scale attacks that have already caused tens of millions of dollars in losses. Researchers say lower fees now allow attackers to bombard high-value wallets with spoofed transactions, and recommend always checking full addresses instead of copying from history.
