Answer Long positions took the most hit as the Dogecoin price
crashed below the $0.4 range. This development came following
Jerome Powell’s speech, which painted a bearish picture for the
foremost meme coin. As crypto analyst Kevin Capital revealed,
Dogecoin’s technical indicators were already bearish, and the
macroeconomic fundamentals only did more damage. Powell
suggested that the US Federal Reserve will likely pause on the rate
cuts next year, which immediately sparked a bearish sentiment among
traders and led to a wave of sell-offs. This contributed to the
spike in trading volume, as investors looked to offload their
coins, considering how the Fed being hawkish is bearish for risk
assets like Dogecoin. However, Kevin Capital believes that
traders are overreacting to Jerome Powell’s speech. The crypto
analyst believes that Dogecoin will recover this price correction,
stating that the dip will be bought. However, it is worth
mentioning Dogecoin’s correlation with Bitcoin, as Kevin Capital
had previously pointed out that DOGE’s next move will depend on
BTC. The Bitcoin price has dropped below the $100,000
psychological price level and looks bearish at the moment. As such,
the Dogecoin price recovery is unlikely to happen until Bitcoin
witnesses a bullish reversal. Increased Volatility Is Not
Unusual Crypto analyst Master Kenobi also commented on the Dogecoin
price drop, stating that increased volatility at this stage of the
bull market is not unusual. However, the analyst suggested that
traders should avoid being shaken out and instead hold on to their
positions. This came as he claimed that market makers who will
inject money into the market would prefer for market participants
to walk away with a 90% loss rather than a 10x gain. Related

Whale Transactions Explode On The Network Bitcoinist recently
reported that Dogecoin’s sentiment has turned negative once again,
indicating that DOGE holders may be looking to sell their coins
even at a loss. Kevin Capital had before now stated that the
Dogecoin bull run is far from over, suggesting that there was no
need to be bearish at the moment despite the price correction. He
advised long-term holders just to sit back and wait for higher
prices. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is
trading at around $0.36, down over 5% in the last 24 hours,
according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created
