cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that DogeOS public testnet went live on October 1, 2026, marking a new phase for the ecosystem. The testnet supports Ethereum-compatible trading, lending, and stablecoin applications using test DOGE, though a mainnet launch date has not been announced. At 12:00 GMT on October 1, DOGE traded at $0.095029, a level just below its 200-day simple moving average of $0.095584.
The price remained above its 20-day SMA of $0.094809 and its 50-day SMA of $0.094596, which Investing.com labeled as Buy signals. Daily technical indicators showed a neutral RSI(14) reading of 51.480, suggesting no immediate overbought or oversold conditions. The MACD(12,26) registered at 0 and was labeled bullish by Investing.com, supporting potential upside movement.
Despite modestly constructive shorter-horizon indicators, the report notes this is not a broad breakout signal. Consequently, a move toward the $0.10 scenario still depends on price action clearing these overhead levels.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for DOGE, measured when this story was written up on 1 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows DOGE trading at $0.09456, reflecting a shift in immediate market dynamics. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 56.1%, indicating strong short-term buying pressure, while the 4-hour ratio is lower at 49.0%. This contrast suggests that buying momentum is building in the very short term but fading over the four-hour window. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$267,204, showing net buying in that hour, whereas the 4-hour delta is negative at -$248,890. A positive volume delta means buyers are more aggressive than sellers, while a negative delta indicates sellers are dominating. The 24-hour buy ratio is 50.2%, with a total volume delta of +$301,633, showing net buying over the full day despite the 4-hour dip.
The latest daily buy ratio of 37.6% sits at the 0th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.9% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for DOGE, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 50.9%, making the current 24-hour reading of 50.2% slightly below the weekly norm by 0.8 points. Volume was measured at 0.84x the average, indicating a quieter trading day compared to the typical week. The coin saw net buying on 6 of the 7 days, with a total 8-day volume delta of +$19,427,458. This context suggests that while today is an ordinary day for buying frequency, the reduced volume makes it a less active trading day than usual. The price change over the 8-day period was +2.0%, showing steady but modest growth leading into this event.
