Dogecoin Drops 8% as Rising Treasury Yields Trigger Broader Crypto Sell-Off

Dogecoin fell roughly 7% to 8%, slipping to just above $0.09 as a broad cryptocurrency sell-off pushed Bitcoin below $84,000. Rising Treasury yields—reaching their highest level since 2007—stronger-than-expected U.S. business data and a jump in oil prices weighed on risk assets by stoking inflation concerns and reducing expectations for easier monetary policy. Some technical analysts characterized DOGE’s decline as a pullback after reaching resistance, rather than a confirmed breakdown, and identified the $0.087 to $0.091 range as important support; a drop below that area could challenge the recent upward trend.
