A shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish reflects exhaustion among buyers with sellers dominating the market.
Often, when sellers dominate, it results in high selling pressure and oversupply, thus pushing prices down.
This dominance among sellers was evidenced by the fact that DOGE’s RSI has dropped over the past 10 days. This suggests that most investors are selling to capitalize on recent gains and avoid more losses.

Separately, according to Coinglass, short sellers are dominating with 54% on 24-hour timeframes and 64% on 4-hour time frames. This implies that most investors are betting on the prices to decline further.
What DOGE charts suggest
As observed above, the current market sentiment suggests DOGE could see further drops as upward momentum has exhausted.
