DOGE dips 7.5% as broader crypto market retraces
The cryptocurrency market had an explosive start to the week, with Bitcoin hitting an all-time high of $123k while Ether rallied above $3k. DOGE, the native coin of the Dogecoin blockchain, also rallied to the $0.215 level on Monday.
However, the broader crypto market is currently in a retracement, with selling pressure keeping the price down. BTC is trading below $117k while Ether has dropped to the $2,900 region.
Dogecoin is not left behind as the leading memecoin has lost 7.5% of its value in the last 24 hours to now trades below $0.20. The correction could last longer as the bears could test the lower support in the coming hours.
However, DOGE could resume its rally soon as institutional activity shows growing demand. Market participants are speculating about fast-tracked ETF paths for high-volume tokens like DOGE and XRP, prompting whale-led accumulation near local lows.
DOGE could retest $0.18 support level
The DOGE/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient despite the coin losing 7.5% of its value in the last 24 hours. The technical indicators are still bullish but are showing signs of exhaustion.
If the current correction continues, DOGE could test the next support level (TLQ) at $0.18046 over the next few hours. At press time, DOGE is trading at $0.1916. However, if the retracement drags on longer, DOGE could retest last week’s low of $0.16510.
The RSI of 56 shows that the bullish bias is fading. The MACD lines are also approaching the neutral zone, suggesting limited buying orders. If the bulls recover control of the market, DOGE could surge past Monday’s high of $0.21374 before testing the $0.22856 high. In the event of an extended rally, DOGE could test the May high of $0.260.
