Dogecoin Plummets 15% as X Excludes It from 2025 Crypto Roadmap

Dogecoin, a memecoin closely associated with Elon Musk, is currently facing significant pressure. This pressure stems from its exclusion from X’s 2025 crypto integration roadmap and a series of technical breakdowns. A leaked report on X’s “Super App” strategy revealed plans for crypto payment integration powered by Visa, but notably, Dogecoin was not mentioned. This omission has surprised the market, given Musk’s historical support for DOGE on the platform. The absence has led to speculation that Dogecoin may not be a central part of X’s fintech ecosystem, resulting in a wave of sell-offs.

Technically, Dogecoin has broken below several key levels. It is currently trading below the 10-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of $0.176, indicating near-term weakness. Additionally, it has breached the 50-day SMA at $0.201, confirming a shift to bearish momentum. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 31.94, signaling oversold conditions but offering no bullish divergence to suggest a reversal. One of the last remaining support zones is the $0.159 swing low, which aligns with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level from the previous rally. If this level fails, Dogecoin could potentially fall toward $0.14, a zone last visited in April and May 2023.

Dogecoin’s decline is also part of a broader altcoin weakness. Bitcoin dominance has risen to 64.4%, drawing capital away from memecoins and speculative assets. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has dipped to 43, indicating growing investor caution. While trading volume surged, the spike appears to reflect panic selling rather than accumulation.

If the current bearish pressure persists and the $0.159 level is decisively broken, Dogecoin could target $0.148, a psychological round number and past support, or $0.136–0.140, the final demand zone before entering early 2023 price territory. Unless sentiment improves or a bullish catalyst emerges, such as renewed endorsement from Elon Musk or unexpected utility in X’s ecosystem, DOGE may struggle to reclaim lost levels in the short term.
