Meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin has had quite a few days of intriguing price action coupled with intense volatility. Notably, Dogecoin, which ended the last days of September on a bullish run, has since reversed those gains and is back where it left off just above $0.10.
According to a technical analysis of the Dogecoin price action, the meme coin broke above a multi-month downtrend last week. However, as it stands, a recent correction in the past 48 hours has seen DOGE reversing to retest the breakout point. As noted by a crypto analyst, this retest is crucial to DOGE’s performance in the coming weeks and months. A bounce or a break below could make or break the meme coin’s price.
Dogecoin Retesting The Macro Falling Wedge
A crypto analyst known as Kevin on social media platform X, recently made known an interesting piece on the current DOGE price action. Kevin has built a reputation among his social media followers for his extensive analysis of DOGE price action on X. According to a Dogecoin chart he shared, the meme coin, which recently peaked above $0.13, is now retesting the upper trendline of the multi-month falling wedge that it successfully broke out of just last week.
According to Kevin, this type of retest is actually normal when breakouts like this play out. A retest and a subsequent move to the upside often act as confirmation of the breakout. However, with the current situation of things, this retest could be more than just a retest. This is because a break below the trendline would mean that the meme coin is still stuck in a multi-month downtrend and has not broken out as most investors had hoped. This, in turn, could cascade into a decline that could eventually see DOGE reaching a low of $0.085 in the coming weeks or even create a lower low below that level.

Consequently, the $0.11 to the $0.108 zone is a crucial zone for Dogecoin bulls to hold on to. In the words of crypto analyst Kevin, Dogecoin needs “to hold this zone for this 6-month pattern to not fail.”
What’s Next For DOGE?
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1085 and is down by 8.5% in the past 24 hours. If bulls are able to maintain the price above this key zone in the next few days, it would reinforce the validity of the recent breakout and potentially pave the way for further upside in the coming weeks.
Dogecoin’s price decline in the past 24 hours isn’t an isolated move and is part of a wider decline among many cryptocurrencies. The hype leading up to October (Uptober) has degraded into a decline in the price of cryptocurrencies on the first day of the month.
