Dogecoin Price Prediction as Bitcoin Price Drops Below $66k

Dogecoin slips 3% even as active addresses surge 36%, while Bitcoin drops below $66K amid heavy market selling and weak volume.

Bitcoin has fallen to under $63,000, losing over 40% from its all-time high, yet this broader market decline hasn't stopped a surprising rise in Dogecoin network activity. According to on-chain data, active addresses for DOGE surged 36% in the past week. However, this rally in usage did not translate to higher prices. DOGE dropped 3%, while Shiba Inu (SHIB) slipped 2%, both struggling against soaring selling pressure.

Network Usage Climbs But Price Weakness Continues

Dogecoin saw its active addresses rise to over 71,400, reflecting stronger interaction with the blockchain. But analysts say this spike is largely driven by distribution, not accumulation, indicating that holders are shifting coins - not buying more.

DOGE now priced near $0.084, facing a possible retest of its 2022 low at $0.05. Since its peak in 2021, Dogecoin has lost more than 90% of its value. While it rallied briefly in late 2024, that move faded, and the asset has already dropped 62% in 2025.

Shiba Inu follows a similar path. Currently priced at $0.00000641, SHIB is now down 92% from its all-time high. Its network shows weak transaction volumes and limited token utility, which continues to weigh on price action.

DOGE Faces Key Support as Bitcoin Weakness Persists

Dogecoin is currently sitting at a critical support zone between $0.105 and $0.110, according to analyst BitGuru. He emphasized that this level was created after a recent liquidity sweep, and DOGE must hold it to avoid deeper losses.

Resistance remains firm near $0.135 and $0.150. Without breaking through these levels, upward recovery remains uncertain. BTC's sharp drop to under $63,000 has pulled the entire meme-coin sector lower, with Dogecoin and SHIB losing momentum despite rising user activity.

ETF analyst Eric Balchunas commented that Bitcoin ETF holders have shown more resilience than expected, with only 6.6% of assets withdrawn despite the steep drop. But this stability in ETFs hasn't yet translated into inflows across other sectors like meme coins.

Minotaurus (MTAUR) Draws Attention with Utility and Low Price

As DOGE and SHIB struggle with weak demand, I've been following Minotaurus (MTAUR) (http://minotaurus.io/insight/cd9997316e463f23e65e) since December and saw something different. I bought early in the presale and watched it 200x in price since the presale started, driven by user demand and low initial token prices.

Minotaurus is a Web3 game token where players run through mazes, collect treasures, and battle monsters in a mythological world. Unlike meme coins, it has real in-game use, and players can upgrade characters or unlock new zones using MTAUR tokens.

The presale offers a major benefit: a 100,000 USDT incentive (http://minotaurus.io/insight/cd9997316e463f23e65e) pool, with 50,000 USDT for the top buyer and bonus for 99 others. At the current presale price of 0.00012659 USDT, 100 USDT buys about 801,000 MTAUR tokens - a strong value for early adopters.

Why MTAUR Could Be the Best Crypto to Buy Right Now

Transparency is key. According to the Coinsult Proof of Assets, the presale wallet showed zero outbound transactions during the entire 549-day presale period. As of December 18, it held 2,727,183.89 USDT on-chain - and I verified it using the wallet address.

Unlike many projects that move funds early for marketing or salaries, MTAUR kept its reserves untouched. That's a clear trust signal. It's also passed full audits from SolidProof and Coinsult, which helps new buyer evaluate project security.

The project has already gotten over 3 million USDT, and demand is rising. Compared to DOGE and SHIB, Minotaurus has defined utility, a surging user base, and a verifiable on-chain record. With a low entry price and planned in-game expansion, MTAUR could be the best crypto to buy under 1 USDT (http://minotaurus.io/insight/cd9997316e463f23e65e).
