Dogecoin Tops $0.10 on X Trading News, but Death Cross Still Looms

Dogecoin broke above the psychological $0.10 level on Sept. 22, 2026, reaching its highest price since June on a mix of X platform news, broad meme coin rotation and rising leverage. The catalyst: X announced new trading arrangements with Gemini, Kraken, Coinbase, Moomoo and Interactive Brokers, allowing users to trade directly from the timeline via cashtags. Traders read the move as a step toward Dogecoin's deeper integration into X's financial services, given Elon Musk's long-standing promotion of the token. DOGE opened at $0.0999, spiked intraday to $0.1059, then faded to $0.0992, down 0.62% on the day. Derivatives open interest jumped roughly 10% in one hour to about $350 million, signaling leverage rather than spot conviction drove the move. Technical signals remain mixed. The daily RSI reads 69.4, near overbought territory, while the ADX at 32.5 confirms buyers remain in control. However, DOGE's 50-day EMA remains below its 200-day EMA — a death cross that continues to signal a longer-term bearish structure.
