Dogecoin (DOGE) Takes Another Hit – Temporary Pullback or Losing Steam?

Dogecoin's latest dip has traders split—healthy consolidation or the start of a deeper slide?

Bull case: A breather after its meme-fueled rally. Bear case: The 'people's crypto' might be running out of hype.

Meanwhile, Wall Street still won't admit it checks DOGE prices during bathroom breaks.
