DOGE Hits $0.10 as Pepeto Presale Surges to $10.8 Million
Dogecoin (DOGE)

Techbullion reports that Dogecoin reached $0.10 for the first time in three months, marking a 30% weekly rally from $0.067. This surge was driven by renewed ETF inflows and the Core 1.14.9 network upgrade, which introduced security patches and payment processor improvements. The DogeOS application layer also went live, bringing DeFi tools to the DOGE chain for the first time.
However, the daily RSI hit overbought territory above 72, causing price to pull back below $0.09. Resistance remains heavy in the $0.095 to $0.10 zone, where holders are waiting to exit at their entry prices. Capital is rotating into earlier stage tokens like Pepeto, built by the Pepe cofounder, which has pulled in $10.8 million.
PepetoSwap operates as a zero-fee exchange with a cross-chain bridge, backed by a SolidProof audit. The token has a 420 trillion supply and offers 164% staking rewards to lock tokens and prevent selling pressure on listing day. Analysts at Changelly project a maximum price prediction of $0.102 for the rest of 2026, with a potential push toward $0.14 by early 2027. The SEC and CFTC classified DOGE as a digital commodity in March 2026, attracting institutional buyers watching ETF inflow data.
