Mixed trading conditions form a short-term trend for Dogecoin
Dogecoin price It fell back below the $0.145 area after failing to hold above $0.150 earlier in the week. The recent decline saw the price break below the hourly trendline, touching lows near $0.131 before stabilizing. DOGE is now trading below $0.140 on lower time frames, with immediate resistance forming around $0.142 and $0.145.
However, the broader outlook remains less bleak. The weekly chart shows a bullish MACD crossover, complemented by rising chart bars. Historically, this signal has been the early stages of a momentum recovery.
Dogecoin price continues to defend the long-term support range between $0.13 and $0.15, a range that has held for almost two years. Repeated bounces from the $0.135 area highlight continued buyer activity despite intraday volatility.
Traders are also watching the upper limit of the recent range at $0.155-$0.156. A close above this area would signal a break from the consolidation pattern that has persisted since late November.
Shows ETF volume and cumulative exchange outflows
