DOGE Tests $0.10 as DogeOS Testnet Launches
Dogecoin (DOGE)

Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Dogecoin is trading at $0.095973 on October 2, sitting just below the critical $0.10 threshold. This level serves as an immediate technical and psychological test following previous failed attempts to break through. The price action coincides with the public testnet launch of DogeOS on September 30.
This new application-layer development provides an EVM-compatible environment for Dogecoin applications, including trading, lending, stablecoins, games, and consumer apps. Although this is a testnet event rather than a mainnet rollout, the daily setup remains constructive. On October 1, DOGE was reported above its 200-day exponential moving average at $0.0932 and its 20-day EMA at $0.0921.
The Supertrend indicator remained in buy mode during that period. At the current spot price, the token stays above these two closest trend references below the market. Near-term direction remains concentrated around these tight daily chart levels. The launch marks a specific development milestone for the ecosystem without yet impacting the mainnet directly.
How the market reacted

Whalio spot data shows DOGE trading at $0.09437, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 44.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 47.4%. These shorter-term ratios are below the 24-hour buy ratio of 50.1%, indicating that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$439,118, while the 4-hour delta is -$971,414, showing net selling pressure in recent hours. However, the 24-hour volume delta is positive at +$105,814, suggesting that net buying has occurred over the full day. CVD at the 24-hour close is -$1,078,495, reflecting that sell volume has outweighed buy volume over the day. Spot volume for the period is $51,416,954 across 444,108 trades.
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?
