The hourly RSI sits near 38, indicating mildly oversold conditions but not yet capitulation.Market analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) highlights the weekly 200-EMA near $0.16 as Dogecoin’s structural “line in the sand.”That level has held through six previous retests since summer, marking the boundary between cyclical pullback and long-term trend reversal.What Traders Should KnowThe immediate focus is whether the $0.17 handle can hold under continued pressure. Institutional order-flow metrics suggest systematic de-risking rather than panic liquidation — leaving room for a technical rebound if volume subsides further.Failure of the $0.1720–$0.1719 support cluster could expose the $0.1650–$0.1600 zone, where the weekly moving average sits as last-ditch structural support.DogecoinMore For YouInside Zcash: Encrypted Money at Planetary ScaleBy CoinDesk ResearchNov 3, 2025Commissioned byGen ZcashA deep dive into Zcash's zero-knowledge architecture, shielded transaction growth, and its path to becoming encrypted Bitcoin at scale.What to know:In 2025, Zcash evolved from niche privacy tech into a functioning encrypted-money network:Shielded adoption surged, with 20–25% of circulating ZEC now held in encrypted addresses and 30% of transactions involving the shielded pool.The Zashi wallet made shielded transfers the default, pushing privacy from optional to standard practice.Project Tachyon, led by Sean Bowe, aims to boost throughput to thousands of private transactions per second.Zcash surpassed Monero in market share, becoming the largest privacy-focused cryptocurrency by capitalization.View Full ReportMore For YouJPMorgan Rolls Out JPM Coin Leveraging Coinbase's Base: ReportBy AI Boost, Omkar Godbole|Edited by Sam Reynolds7 minutes agoUnlike stablecoins, deposit tokens are digital claims on existing bank funds and can be interest-bearing, offering a new option for institutional investors.What to know:JPMorgan Chase has launched JPM Coin, a digital deposit token for institutional clients, marking a significant move into digital assets.The token enables near-instantaneous transfers, leveraging Coinbase’s blockchain, Base.Unlike stablecoins, deposit tokens are digital claims on existing bank funds and can be interest-bearing, offering a new option for institutional investors.Read full storyLatest Crypto News JPMorgan Rolls Out JPM Coin Leveraging Coinbase's Base: Report7 minutes agoXRP Faces Bearish Cross Risk, Sinks 5% Even as ETFs Move Further14 minutes agoAsia Morning Briefing: Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $300M as Traders Rush to Buy the Dip3 hours agoBitcoin Miners Must Own Power—or Die Trying Before Next Halving, MARA CEO Says5 hours agoEthereum Is ‘The Infrastructure’ for Wall Street, Says Former BlackRock Executive7 hours agoHBAR Declines 2.1% to $0.183 as Volume Spike Signals Technical Breakdown11 hours agoTop StoriesAsia Morning Briefing: Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $300M as Traders Rush to Buy the Dip3 hours agoEthereum Is ‘The Infrastructure’ for Wall Street, Says Former BlackRock Executive7 hours agoBitcoin Slips Toward $103K; Miners Tumble on AI Trade Cooling, SoftBank's Nvidia Exit12 hours agoBrazil’s Central Bank Sets Crypto Rules, Establishes up to $7M Capital Bar for Firms16 hours agoBitcoin Traders Eye Seasonal 'Santa Rally' as Fed Moves Spur Volatility HopesNov 11, 2025Lighter Raises $68M at $1.5B Valuation to Take on Decentralized Derivatives Rivals: Report13 hours ago
