Dogecoin held in a tight range amid ETF chatter and treasury talk

Dogecoin traded in a tight but volatile range through the first week of September, with prices oscillating around key support near 0.21 and repeated rejections just above 0.22 as heightened institutional flows and speculation about exchange traded funds and a proposed Dogecoin treasury drove volume.
