Can Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Hold the Line or Decline Further?

The meme-inspired cryptocurrency has encountered strong resistance at $0.20, preventing a breakout, while support at $0.16 remains a crucial defense line.

Meme-impelled cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE) has been testing the lower Bollinger Band support at $0.1781,pivotal level closely follows at $0.19.

What Happened: Crypto analyst Satori noted that Dogecoin is currently testing the lower Bollinger Band, which is usually a good level of support or resistance. According to the analyst, the Bollinger Bands are getting narrower, which signals that a period of low volatility is coming to an end and a spike in volatility is due.

If Dogecoin manages to break below the middle Bollinger Band, it could pave the way for a move toward the $0.16 zone, a crucial level to keep an eye on. A break below the lower band could also be followed by a drop to the lower Bollinger Band on the four-hour chart, which is currently at $0.15.
