This prediction is based on the cyclical nature of DOGE, where short price increases are followed by long periods of decline. While a temporary rise to $1.70 is possible in the third phase, Mags warns investors to be wary of such fleeting optimism.
Technical indicators flash red
Despite the recent 4% increase in prices, technical indicators paint a worrying picture. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is squarely in the neutral zone, neither overbought nor oversold, reflecting investor hesitation. More importantly, DOGE is currently trading below its major moving averages, with the 200-day EMA acting as a last line of defense at $0.123. A breach of this support level could trigger a domino effect, sending DOGE falling further towards the $0.07 mark.
Can Dogecoin defy the odds?
While Mags' analysis and technical indicators cast a long shadow, there is still a glimmer of hope for the meme coin. The recent spike in trading volume indicates increased activity, which could indicate a buying spree by loyal DOGE holders. Additionally, beating the first resistance level of $0.14 could indicate a potential turnaround. However, this optimistic scenario hinges on challenging historical trends and requires a significant shift in market sentiment.
The future of Dogecoin is still shrouded in uncertainty. Elon Musk, the self-proclaimed “godfather” and one of the main influencers on the price of the memecoin, has been relatively quiet lately. Without its usual bullish tweets, DOGE lacks a strong catalyst for a sustained push higher.
