The post Dogecoin Breaks Below Key Trendline, Triggers Heavy Memecoin Dump; What’s Next?  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Dogecoin (DOGE) price has signaled further midterm weakness. The top-tier memecoin dropped over 5% during the past 24 hours to trade at about $0.1255 on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, during the mid North American session.

Dogecoin Price Faces a 20% Drop Before a Relief Rally

The dog-themed memecoin has dropped over 15% during the past seven days, hence slipping below a crucial support trendline. The sustained year-to-date bearish sentiment for the DOGE price has invalidated the macro bull trendline established since February 2024.

Consequently, Dogecoin price is well positioned to drop around 20% to retest its 2024 support level around $0.1. The midterm bearish sentiment for DOGE price is bolstered by the MACD indicator, after the MACD and the signal lines dropped below the zero line amid rising bearish histograms.

The Memecoin Industry Bleeds 

Following the sustained Dogecoin weakness since the October 11 crypto crash, the wider memecoin industry has been bleeding out. During the past 24 hours, the total market cap for memecoins dropped 8% to hover around $41.4 billion 

Major memecoin projects led by Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), Pepe (PEPE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Bonk (BONK) have dropped over 15% in the past seven days. The memecoin rout is expected to continue in the coming days and potentially weeks amid the wider low bullish sentiment.

What’s Next for Holders?

The next phase for memecoins will be heavily influenced by the crypto regulatory outlook in the United States and the mainstream adoption rate from global investors. According to a thesis from Bitwise, the crypto market will rebound in 2026 after bleeding in 2025.

“Forces like the bitcoin halving, interest rate cycles, and crypto booms and busts fueled by leverage are weaker than in past cycles. Institutions like Citi, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and Merrill Lynch entering the space, allocations to spot ETFs, and onchain building will accelerate in 2026. The pro-crypto regulatory shift will continue to allow companies to adopt crypto at a faster rate,” Bitwise stated.

The post AAVE Protocol Reports Impressive Fundamentals, But Price Keeps Falling: Here is Why appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The AAVE (AAVE) price has dropped over 3% in the past 24 hours to trade at about $185 on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. The mid-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $3.5 billion, has continued to signal bearish sentiment amid the protocol’s impressive fundamentals 

What are the Recent Strong Fundamentals for AAVE Protocols 

As Coinpedia reported, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) formally closed its investigations into the AAVE protocol. The AAVE protocol gained much-needed legal clarity after the U.S. SEC ended its investigations without recommending an enforcement action.

The closure of the SEC’s investigation into AAVE coincided with the protocol’s launch of the V4 to further explore the liquidity pool aggregation, a feature that V2 and V3 failed to explore.

As such, the AAVE protocol has gained significant traction in the global mainstream adoption. At press time, the AAVE V3 protocol had a total value locked of above $32 billion, with around $22 billion already borrowed.

The ability for any crypto user globally to borrow and lend on the AAVE protocol will now be expedited by the regulatory clarity in the United States. Moreover, the United States heavily influences other global jurisdictions in their crypto decision.

Why is AAVE Price Declining Amid a Supportive Backdrop 

The main reason why AAVE price is dropping today amid supportive fundamentals is due to an ongoing risk off narrative by the wider crypto Investors. 

Additionally, the AAVE price action year-to-date has been forming a horizontal consolidation with an upper border of above $355 and a lower border of around $130. The recent drop below a weekly rising logarithmic support trend further confirmed AAVE’s midterm bearish sentiment.

The midterm bearish sentiment for the AAVE price is bolstered by the weekly MACD indicator, which flashed a bearish signal. The weekly MACD and the signal lines dropped below the zero line, amid rising bearish histograms.

As such, the AAVE/USD weekly chart is likely to continue in bearish sentiment amid the end-of-year holidays. The next major support level for AAVE is around $130, which has resulted in a sudden rebound towards $355 in the subsequent weeks.
