DOGE, the native cryptocurrency that powers the Dogecoin blockchain, was last changing hands about 4.5% lower on the day on Monday just to the south of the $0.09 level, extending on Sunday’s 3.6% decline. Though Dogecoin has managed to recover from earlier session lows under $0.0850, at current levels in the $0.0880s, the cryptocurrency is still trading about 20% lower versus its earlier monthly highs just above $0.11.

The BoE and ECB will also be deciding on interest rates this week, and preliminary PMI data for December is out.
