The Progression of Dogecoin

Dogecoin was launched in 2013 based on the popular “doge” meme at the time which involved a Shiba Inu dog. The popularity of the coin bolstered the DOGE price soaring 1150% so far this year. Earlier Dogecoin (DOGE) embarked on a massive pump-and-dump spree spurred on by r/Wallstreetbets inspired by Elon Musk’s tweets, surging to highs of $0.1 on Jan 29. DOGE the native cryptocurrency of Dogecoin also received a boost, thanks to recent endorsements from rapper Snoop Dogg, Kiss’ Gene Simmons, and Elon Musk.

DOGE Daily Chart: Ranging

DOGE/USD bounced off the moving average (MA 50) at $0.0555 to confront the congestion wall around $0.060-$0.065 on the daily chart, which has been a crucial obstacle to upside movements since the start of the month. The sideways trajectory in the RSI, the candlesticks pattern, and the supporting MA 50 lines are in favor of a sustained consolidation at the moment but are not taking the bears’ side either.

Therefore, buyers will probably wait for the triangle breakout above $0.067 before targeting the key $0.070 – $0.080 area, which also encapsulates the upper surface of the medium-term consolidation channel. Another step lower from here would shift the spotlight towards the MA 50 at $0.0555, though a rally beneath would violate the triangle pattern in the bigger picture.

DOGE 4-Hour Chart: Ranging

From the technical perspective of the 4-hour time frame, DOGE/USD lost the MA 50 support while trading inside the triangle channel. If selling pressure resurfaces, the moving average (200) at $0.054 may prevent any decline towards the next major support at $0.050. Should the sell-off extend below $0.050, the price could revisit the restrictive area around $0.040, where any break lower would open the way towards the bottom of the bearish channel seen at $0.008.

Overall, DOGE is currently holding a neutral-to-bullish short-term bias. A break above the $0.067 ceiling would make the rebound of $0.055 more credible, while a drop below $0.050 could raise negative risks in the market. Rising bearish momentum on the relative strength index (RSI) supports the notion, along with short-term MA 50 and 200 bear crosses.
