Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has observed an interesting development in Dogecoin's price movement as it begins trading within a range. According to technical analysis by the crypto analyst, Dogecoin is currently in a manipulation phase. However, he noted that the king of meme coins has been following the Power of Three (PO3) pattern for the past multiple weeks, which points to a looming bullish wave.
The Power Of 3 pattern is a technical analysis price pattern that always ends up in a strong, bullish move. This pattern outlines three critical phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Distribution, that collectively define the market cycles.
In the case of Dogecoin, the leading meme cryptocurrency has remained on a downtrend path since the second week of December, with notable corrections leading to a break below the $0.30 threshold. As pointed out by Trader Tardigrade, this decline is part of the Power Of 3 pattern, meaning it is very important for a price surge from here.
According to Trader Tardigrade, using the daily candlestick timeframe chart, Dogecoin’s accumulation phase lasted from early November to mid-December after a crazy surge that lasted from October to November. During this accumulation period, Dogecoin’s price consolidated within a narrow range, signaling subdued activity but significant buying interest even as some holders took profits.
However, recent price action in the past two weeks has seen the Dogecoin price enter the manipulation phase. This phase has been characterized by a sharp downward move from increased volatility, especially on December 20, which saw the Dogecoin price fall briefly to $0.267. Nonetheless, this phase could be a prelude to the final and most explosive stage of the pattern (the distribution phase).
The Power of 3 pattern culminates in the distribution phase, which is characterized by a strong bullish momentum. In the case of Dogecoin, Trader Tardigrade predicted that this phase would push its price to new all-time highs above its current one of $0.7316. Particularly, the analyst drew out a price movement that would see Dogecoin reaching as high as $0.95 in the distribution phase.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.332, having rebounded by about 3.5% in the past 24 hours. Reaching the $0.95 target would translate to an increase of about 186% from the current price. Regarding the timeline, the analyst pinpointed the first two weeks of 2023 as the likely period for this bullish move to materialize.
This prediction aligns with the broader market expectations for Dogecoin, with many investors and analysts anticipating a break above $1. While the $0.95 target stops just shy of this milestone, it serves as a compelling indication of the lingering bullish sentiment regarding Dogecoin.
