The cryptocurrency chalked out a bullish golden crossover last week, but the bullish pattern failed to inspire bullish momentum.<\/p>\n<p>Early Monday, the AI-focused blockchain project Qubic announced the community&#8217;s intention to target Dogecoin <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/_Qubic_\/status\/1957226805011652672\">on X<\/a>, stating, &#8220;There are ongoing discussions about $DOGE and preparation will take time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It added that &#8220;questions around blockchain resilience are being raised and we may have tools to address them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sergey Ivancheglo, the founder of the Qubic network, sought a community vote on which application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)-enabled proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain should be targeted with a 51% attack. From a list that included Kaspa and Zcash, the community overwhelmingly voted for DOGE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Qubic community has chosen Dogecoin,\u201d Ivancheglo, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/c___f___b\/status\/1957139742388298154\">announced on X<\/a> via his handle Come-from-Beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Qubic recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/business\/2025\/08\/12\/qubic-claims-majority-control-of-monero-hashrate-raising-51-attack-fears\">launched a successful 51% attack on Monero<\/a>, gaining majority control over the computing power used to secure the privacy network.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>DOGE leads CVD decline<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>DOGE&#8217;s futures open-interest-adjusted cumulative volume delta (CVD) indicator has dropped nearly 1% in the past 24 hours, the largest among the top 25 cryptocurrencies by market value, according to data source Velo.<\/p>\n<p>CVD, or Cumulative Volume Delta, is a technical indicator that measures the net buying or selling pressure in a market over a specific period. It is a running total of the difference between buying and selling volume.<\/p>\n<p>A negative CVD indicates that selling pressure is more substantial than buying pressure. This means that a greater number of market participants are selling a particular asset than buying it. It is often seen as a bearish signal, suggesting that the price is likely to drop or continue its decline.<\/p>\n<p>Most cryptocurrencies, including BTC and ETH, have a similar bearish profile. Meanwhile, LINK is the only token, boasting a positive CVD.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>BTC Drops below $116K<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market value, fell nearly to $115,000 early Monday, extending the decline from Thursday&#8217;s record high of over $124,000.<\/p>\n<p>The decline follows a hotter-than-expected U.S. producer price inflation on Friday, which weakened the case for a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut in September. That said, the central bank is still expected to reduce the borrowing cost by 25 basis points.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given the persistent uncertainty surrounding key economic indicators, the Federal Reserve has thus far maintained a cautious stance on interest rate cuts. The recent U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for July doesn\u2019t make that any easier,&#8221; analysts at Coinbase Institutional said in a weekly report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nevertheless, we see this as an opportunity. We think the Fed&#8217;s eventual focus on the broader economic picture, including the labor market, will ultimately lead to 25 bps rate cuts in September and October,&#8221; analysts added.<\/p>\n<p>Some observers expect the Fed Chair Jerome Powell to lay the groundwork for the September move during this speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium later this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2025\/08\/18\/asia-morning-briefing-crypto-s-rising-leverage-trades-show-signs-of-stress-galaxy-digital-says\">Asia Morning Briefing: Crypto&#8217;s Rising Leverage Trades Show Signs of Stress, Galaxy Digital Says<\/a><br \/><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogecoin (DOGE) nursed losses on Monday as the community behind Qubic, which recently attacked Monero, voted to target the Dogecoin network over Zcash and Kaspa by a big margin.
