Sharp 7% Drop Sends DOGE Toward 22-Cents Support on High-Volume Selloff
DOGE falls 6.88% in the 24-hour period ending August 12, dropping from $0.24 to $0.22 as sellers overwhelm bid-side liquidity. The heaviest pressure hits at 07:00 on August 11, with price sliding from $0.238 to $0.233 on 485.69M volume — 31% above the daily average of 371.45M. This establishes $0.238 as a major resistance level.
Buyers step in at $0.226 during the 11:00 session, generating 793.38M in volume. Secondary resistance forms at $0.231 as multiple rally attempts fail. Final-hour trade sees DOGE range-bound between $0.2247-$0.2253 with volume compression, suggesting potential seller exhaustion.
News Background
The selloff comes amid broader weakness in digital assets, with regulatory uncertainty and global trade tensions weighing on risk sentiment. Major economies are escalating tariff disputes, pressuring multinational supply chains, while central banks signal potential policy shifts — a mix that has prompted institutional de-risking across crypto holdings.
Price Action Summary
• DOGE declines 6.88% from $0.24 to $0.22 in August 11 01:00–August 12 00:00 window• $0.238 resistance locked in after 07:00 selling climax on 485.69M volume• $0.226 support sees 793.38M in buy-side flows; $0.231 secondary resistance caps rebounds• Final hour trades in tight $0.2247-$0.2253 range with falling volume
Market Analysis and Economic Factors
Whale and institutional profit-taking at $0.238 resistance set the tone for the session, triggering a breakdown below $0.23 and forcing retests of $0.226. Support buying was evident on two major volume spikes (11:00 and 21:00), but repeated rejections near $0.231 kept DOGE pinned.
With volume thinning at session lows, the structure hints at possible base-building — though macro headwinds could see $0.22 tested again.

Are we getting a $5000 DOGE dividend or $600 rebate? Fourth stimulus check eligibility
If you're wondering about a fourth stimulus check in 2025 from President Donald Trump or the IRS, here's what to know about eligibility and the reality of it happening. On July 25, Trump floated the idea of a tariff rebate check for American taxpayers in response to questions about all the new tariff revenue being generated, "We have so much money coming in, we're thinking about a little rebate. But the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. But we're thinking about a rebate." A few days after the president's tariff rebate comments, Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley announced the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 aimed at sending checks to Americans. Note that a few months back, in February, Trump also said he would consider a plan to pay out a portion of the savings identified by the Department of Government Efficiency in the form of a $5000 dividend check as payback to taxpayers. The DOGE dividend proposal, authored by Azoria investment firm CEO James Fishback, was meant to give back or refund taxpayers a savings from Elon Musk's DOGE related cuts and reductions in government spending. Here's what to know about Trump's two proposals this year, what the amounts would be, qualifications and status. Are we getting a fourth stimulus check in 2025? While speculation about a of $2,000 has surfaced on social media and unverified websites, there has been no official confirmation of any additional economic relief package in 2025 from Congress or the IRS to support this claim. Any such news should be taken with caution as it could be misinformation or attempted fraud. Either of Trump's ideas for a tariff rebate or DOGE dividend this year would be similar to a fourth stimulus check, if approved. Albeit, there are differences between a stimulus check versus a dividend, refund or rebate. By definition, a dividend is a distribution of profits by a corporation to its shareholders and refund is a payment made back to a user that previously paid for something. While a rebate is a partial refund of the purchase price that a consumer paid, often upon meeting certain conditions — more like a discount that is refunded after the purchase versus a discount that is applied at the point of sale. A stimulus check on the other hand, is a direct payment to encourage spending and stimulate the economy by putting money directly into the consumers' hand. Also similar to the stimulus checks sent during the pandemic, these proposals would require congressional approval. What is the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025? Hawley's bill, called the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025, would provide a minimum of $600 per adult and dependent child, or $2,400 for a family of four, according to news officials. The benefit would be reduced by 5% for joint filers with an adusted gross income above $150,000 or single filers earning more than $75,000 individually. According to an analysis from the Budget Lab at Yale released July 28, Trump's tariffs could cost U.S. households an average of $2,400 in 2025 through higher prices passed on from companies paying higher tariff taxes. The Treasury Department said on July 25 that the U.S. government posted a $27 billion surplus in June, following a $316 billion deficit in May. Customs duties totaled approximately $27 billion for the month, up from $23 billion in May and 301% higher than in June 2024. On an annual basis, tariff collections have totaled $113 billion, or 86% more than a year ago. The bill would allow for a larger rebate if the tariff revenue exceeds projections. What is the status of the DOGE dividend check proposal? Fishback announced that he was stepping away from the DOGE dividend check movement after Musk lashed out at the president in June, although he also said he would continue working with the administration "to return savings to taxpayers." The latest update on DOGE dividend came from Fishbacks tweet on June 6, "I believed in Elon Musk's vision to shrink government and make it work better for Americans. I'm proud of the DOGE Dividend proposal I developed and will keep working with the administration to return savings to taxpayers." He added, "The truth is that Elon set expectations that he relayed to the President, me, and the country that he did not come close to fulfilling. That's disappointing, but okay." According to Fishback's proposal, the DOGE dividend check was described as tax refund check to be sent to every taxpaying household, funded exclusively with a portion of the total savings delivered by DOGE. The potential refund would be sent only to households that are net-income taxpayers — people who pay more in taxes than they get back — with lower-income Americans not qualifying for the return, according to news reports. The Pew Research Center cites most Americans who have an adjusted gross income of under $40,000 pay effectively no federal income tax. According to the DOGE website, it cites an estimated $205 billion — approximately $1,273 per individual federal taxpayer — in savings and proof in their "Wall of Receipts." Albeit, only half the amount is itemized thus far, raising doubts about accuracy. Amy Gleason is the acting administrator and head of DOGE. Musk's departure from the federal government will likely do little to change DOGE's work carrying out Trump's vision of downsizing the federal government or eliminating the 'fraud and waste.'

Don't Let AI Be Your Career Coach
With everyone all tied up in AI-induced knots, worried about their jobs, and concerned about the reliability of AI to begin with, it boggles the mind that so many people have flirted with or worse, committed to AI as a source of career coaching. The come-ons are enticing, creating the impression of infallibility to everything including Kryptonite. There's only one problem, though, That's about as likely to be successful as a robot at a wine tasting. As an independent career and executive coach for the past 28 years, I find the whole thing laughable. Staying up with the times for the sake of progress is one thing; change for change's sake rarely passes muster. Coaching: Linear or Intuitive This conflict between AI algorithms and human wisdom is the crux of the matter. I've coached thousands of people, delivered workshops to tens of thousands, and written articles which have been read by millions. Yet every single person makes a unique impression on me. That's how I learn. To me and countless other coaches, this coaching thing is much more intuitive than you might think. It's a distinctly right-brained process. But is also imprecise. A great coach is an artist Career coaching is more an art than a science; it is more intuitive than it is empirical; it works more on hunches and accumulated experience than on proofs and strictly rational systems of thought. Career coaches who consider themselves scientists are fooling themselves. We are, hopefully, artists – and when we do our jobs well, we produce good work. But it is imprecise. As such, this state of being requires mutual faith – a kind of partnership in belief between the coach and the coached, a shared vision toward which both work. Both must subscribe. Both must be comfortable with the unknown, with ambiguity, with uncertainty. But both must be optimistic, hopeful, and proactive. And while this remains imprecise, it works. Half a century ago, Harold Geneen, CEO and chairman of ITT when it was the largest conglomerate in the world, said, 'Leadership cannot be taught; it can only be learned.' Today, it's the same thing with coaching. Perspective and Experience This thought has given me an uusual perpective. Over the last 28 years, I've coached people from 17 to 82 years old (yes, 82 – really); from the executive suite to the assembly line; from the classroom to the boardroom; from the military and law enforcement to the ex-con looking for a new start; from the private sector to the public and non-profit sectors; from construction and manufacturing to biotech; from science and medicine to sports and leisure; from logistics and transportation to journalism and publishing. I coached people in dozens of industries, with hundreds of job titles and thousands of job descriptions. I've learned from each one, gaining experience and perspective. AI hasn't figured out how to do that. What I've learned as a career coach – more than anything else – is that success almost never comes in one giant leap, but almost always as a result of small steps. It takes perspective and experience – and those traits still belong to us humans alone. Don't let AI be your career coach.
