Dogecoin Hits Critical Zone—Here’s What 3 Leading Analysts Are Watching

Dogecoin’s revival from the late-April trough at $0.1298 to Monday’s intraday spike at roughly $0.2597 has thrust the original meme-asset into a technically decisive arena, inspiring three top market technicians to publish fresh views. What’s Next For Dogecoin? Crypto analyst Ali Martinez plots a 12-hour DOGE/USD chart that frames a supply band between $0.25 and $0.27. That zone supported price in December 2024 and February 2025 three times, but flipped to resistance after late February’s breakdown, a role it has repeated in every rally since. Martinez marks each failed thrust with black arrows and notes the most recent 12-hour close at $0.24903 sitting inside the band. In his words, “Dogecoin has reached a crucial area of resistance!” Until bulls print decisive closes above the upper boundary at $0.27, the region remains a potential turning point. Rekt Capital zooms out to the weekly time-frame and points to a horizontal pivot at $0.22014, labelled “Pre-Halving resistance” on his DOGE/USDT chart. After reclaiming that level, price is now dipping back toward it, a move the analyst calls “that key retest of Pre-Halving resistance into new support … Retest is now in progress. Hold green and at least $0.27 would be next.” Related Reading: Can Dogecoin Realistically Reach $1? Analyst Sees Strong Setup The green support box extends roughly $0.19–$0.22 and sits atop an 18-month rising trend-line that converges near $0.15901. A weekly defence of this cluster would open the way to the next resistances Rekt Capital plots at $0.27884 and $0.33817. Bitcoinsensus focuses on momentum, overlaying a weekly MACD on his DOGE/USDT chart. The fast line is on the verge of crossing above the signal line for the first time since late-2024. He highlights that the previous two bullish crossovers preceded rallies of ≈ +165 % (to $0.23) and ≈ +330 % (to $0.48). Related Reading: Can Dogecoin Reach $0.60? This Price Level Is Now Crucial Citing that pattern, the analyst writes: “DOGE BULLISH MACD CROSS … Next Price Target : $0.72.” His chart projects a parabolic path toward $0.72, while a dotted ascending baseline anchored in March 2024 still underpins the structure in the mid-$0.15 region. Collectively the three studies leave Dogecoin at an inflection point. A clean break above $0.27 would neutralise the multi-month supply zone highlighted by Martinez and validate Rekt Capital’s next weekly objectives. Failure to sustain that level, or a weekly close back under $0.22, would refocus attention on the trend-line and horizontal support in the high-$0.15s. For momentum traders, confirmation of the looming MACD crossover could be the trigger that sets the stage for Bitcoinsensus’ lofty $0.72 projection. For now, participants watch whether the meme-coin’s latest bark translates into another bite. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.22485. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

SEC hacker counters prosecutors with 366-day sentencing recommendation

Defense lawyers have asked a judge to sentence the person responsible for helping post a fake message announcing regulatory approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds to roughly a year in prison, countering prosecutors’ request for a two-year sentence.In a May 13 filing in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, Eric Council Jr.’s legal team asked that he be sentenced to no more than one year and one day in prison following his guilty plea. Council was part of a group that took control of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) X account in 2024 through a SIM swap attack, posting a message that suggested the regulator had approved spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund listings for the first time.“A sentence of twelve months and one day serves the ends of justice,” said the May 13 filing. “It sufficiently punishes the defendant for his role in this case. It also promotes respect for the law and deters future criminal conduct.”Eric Council Jr.’s sentencing recommendation, filed on May 13. Source: PACERCouncil initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but changed his plea to guilty in February on one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud. The judge overseeing the case, Amy Berman Jackson, also ordered prosecutors to “identify the felony and point to where that information can be found in the record” by May 13.Prison sentence between 1 and 2 years?The SEC hacker is scheduled to be sentenced on May 16. Prosecutors asked the judge to impose a two-year sentence on Council, saying he “profited through a sophisticated fraud scheme.” Court filings showed he earned roughly $50,000 through similar SIM swap attacks.Related: ZKsync X hacker posts false SEC probe in apparent effort to crash tokenThough Council’s case was likely winding down with his upcoming sentencing hearing, the DC court district could soon be under new leadership, potentially affecting the prosecution of crypto-related cases.

How to use tsUSDe on TON for yield-generating dollar savings

Looking for a way to earn passive income on your crypto without riding the rollercoaster of volatile coins? TsUSDe (the staked version) on The Open Network (TON) might be the answer. It’s a dollar-pegged stablecoin that earns yield by design, and you can boost those earnings even more by putting it to work on platforms like STON.fi and DeDust.Here’s how it works and how to get started in just a few steps.What is tsUSDe, and why use it?TsUSDe is a US dollar-backed stablecoin on the TON blockchain. It’s designed to earn a base yield of around 10% APY, paid out in Toncoin (TON). That means just holding it in your wallet earns you rewards — no extra steps needed.But if you want to go a step further, you can use tsUSDe in liquidity pools or farms on TON-based platforms to unlock even more yield. It’s like putting your dollars to work while still staying in stable territory.Where to earn yield with tsUSDeRight now, two of the most active platforms for tsUSDe yield farming on TON are:STON.fi — known for smooth UX and deep liquidityDeDust — fast, lightweight and gaining traction fast.Both let you pair tsUSDe with TON and stake your position to earn trading fees plus additional farming rewards.Did you know? STON.fi has a built-in impermanent loss calculator to help you gauge risk before adding liquidity, while DeDust offers a full portfolio dashboard to track tokens, LPs and rewards in one place.Step-by-step: How to earn yield with tsUSDe1. Connect your walletGo to STON.fi or DeDust.io, connect your TON wallet, and make sure you have some TON in your balance to cover transaction fees.2. Pick a tsUSDe liquidity poolHead to the “Pools” or “Farms” section and find a tsUSDe/TON pool. You’ll see estimated APY numbers, which vary depending on trading volume and incentives. On STON.fi, for example, this pool sometimes hits 30%+ APY.3. Add liquidityClick “Add Liquidity,” then enter the amount of tsUSDe you want to supply. You’ll also need to supply the same dollar value in TON. Once confirmed, you’ll get LP (liquidity provider) tokens showing your share of the pool.4. Stake to boost rewardsNow, stake those LP tokens to earn extra farming rewards. On STON.fi, look for the “Farm” button next to your position. On DeDust, use the “Boost” feature. Once staked, you’ll start earning even more TON on top of trading fees.5. Monitor and claim rewardsYou can check your rewards anytime and claim them whenever you want. You’re in full control; you can unstake or remove your liquidity whenever it suits you.What are the benefits of passive income with tsUSDe?Passive income with tsUSDe comes with unique advantages for users, including:Dollar stability: tsUSDe aims to stay pegged to $1, so your base savings aren’t volatile.Built-in APY: tsUSDe earns ~10% just sitting in your wallet.Extra rewards: Farming lets you boost returns even more through TON incentives.Non-custodial: You keep control of your assets the whole time.What about the risks of TON stablecoin yield?Earning yield with TON stablecoins comes with certain risks to be aware of, such as:Impermanent loss: If TON’s price changes significantly, your share of the pool may shift, reducing your value when you withdraw.Smart contract risk: As with any DeFi platform, there’s always a risk of bugs or exploits.Stablecoin peg risk: tsUSDe is designed to stay at $1, but extreme situations could cause a temporary depeg.Stick with well-known platforms and don’t invest more than you’re comfortable with.Did you know? TON supports TON Proxy, a decentralized anonymity protocol inspired by networks like Tor and I2P. TON Proxy allows users and nodes to obfuscate their identities and traffic.Earn APY with tsUSDe, but carefullyIf you’re already holding tsUSDe, putting it to work on TON is a no-brainer. You get a solid base yield, plus a chance to earn more through farming — all while keeping your savings in dollars. Whether you go with STON.fi or DeDust, the setup is quick, and the returns can add up fast.Start small, be aware of risks, monitor your rewards, and make your stablecoins work harder.This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
