Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) is bouncing on Monday afternoon after a rough trailing week. For many retail traders, this kind of snapback often follows a flush move when panic selling and leveraged positions are cleared out.

What’s behind the move
The broader market sell-off recently triggered heavy liquidations, with one snapshot citing about $765.9 million wiped out in 24 hours across nearly 185,000 traders.
When that pressure fades, highly speculative coins like Dogecoin can rebound quickly because they’re driven more by sentiment and momentum than long-term fundamentals.
Why Bitcoin Matters For DOGE
If Bitcoin stabilizes and liquidity expectations improve, Dogecoin often benefits disproportionately, but it can reverse quickly if Bitcoin volatility returns and traders cut risk again.
DOGE Gains Monday Afternoon
On Monday, Dogecoin rebounded from an early dip and climbed steadily throughout the day, rising about 4.5% to trade near $0.108 after buyers stepped in following last week’s 16% sell-off.
