Dogecoin (DOGE), the cryptocurrency that powers the Dogecoin blockchain, has dropped back after an attempt to push back to the north of the $0.076 level earlier in the day. A spike in the US dollar and US yields combined with downside in US stocks in wake of hawkish remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell is weighing broadly on crypto prices, hence the intra-day pullback.  

Powell warned that the pace of interest rate hikes could rise once again and that interest rates could go higher than expected if inflationary pressures remain too hot. Dogecoin was last changing hands around $0.074, down around 1.0% on the session, having found support at the weekend lows in the $0.072s.

News of Dogecoin whales moving significant amounts of tokens off of Binance and into self-custody has failed to lift optimism in the Dogecoin market. According to blockchain monitoring Twitter account Whale Alert, 67,455,315 DOGE were transferred from the world’s largest exchange to an unknown wallet on Tuesday.
