Dogecoin has experienced another small rebound, and various groups are starting to shout buy signals passionately. But looking at the data makes it clear—over the past seven days, it’s down 8%, and in the last three months, it’s been cut in half. This is not a reversal at all; at best, it’s like grabbing a weed on a downhill slope to catch a breath.

On the one-hour chart, the MACD golden cross looks promising, but two strong resistance levels overhead are like two mountains—climbing over them is difficult no matter what. What does the explosion of over 6 million USD in positions in the past 24 hours indicate? It shows that the market is ruthlessly collecting tuition fees.

Trading high-volatility coins like this for short-term swings is like this—no matter how good the technicals are, you’re just a small boat in a storm. When the wave hits, everyone gets wet. True seasoned players have long understood this—they don’t put their entire wealth on the gamble of “guessing the right direction.”

The key question is: when you use part of your funds to chase Dogecoin’s swing opportunities, where should your core holdings be? How can you ensure that even if the swing fails, your overall assets remain safe and sound?

The answer is actually simple—stablecoins. For example, those pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.

Chasing high yields in crypto isn’t wrong in itself, but the primary condition is that your principal stays alive. The real value of stablecoins lies here—they can’t help you multiply your money 100 times, but they give you the most precious thing in a turbulent market: certainty.

How exactly to use them? The idea is like this:

When you’re optimistic about a short-term rebound in Dogecoin and want to deploy funds, you can first park the main capital or previous profits in stablecoins. The benefit of doing this is obvious—pegged at $1, they don’t fluctuate with market sentiment. Whether Dogecoin rises or falls, your principal pool remains rock solid.

Once the swing is over, the market either hits your target for profit-taking or breaks support for stop-loss, and you can switch back to stablecoins. This isn’t conservatism; it’s rationality. Just like a construction site needs a solid foundation before building upward.

From another perspective, your entire trading portfolio is like a ship—stablecoins are the ballast. When the waves toss the ship, the ballast prevents it from capsizing. Dogecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin—they are the sails you raise on the waves. Combining both is the complete navigation skill.
