DOGE/USD - 7.3%

Dogecoin has seen a significant price movement in the past 24 hours, with buyers returning to the market after a period of decline.

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) has seen a significant price movement in the past 24 hours, with buyers returning to the memecoin after a period of decline.

What Happened: The popular memecoin is currently trading at $0.17, showing an increase of 7.3% over the past day.

This latest surge follows a decline to two-week lows of $0.160, which saw investors engaging in a "buy the dip" strategy. The ensuing buying pressure has been instrumental in pushing prices higher.

The uptick is supported by growth in Dogecoin’s derivatives market. Options volume increased by 84.21%, while Options Open Interest rose by 8% to $804,000.

Cryptocurrency trading volume also saw a 22% increase, reaching $1.22 billion. Open Interest climbed 7.23% to $1.67 billion, indicating heightened market activity.

Key Levels To Watch:

A key factor behind the recent price movement appears to be whale activity. Large investors accumulated over 220 million Dogecoin throughout March, suggesting strong buying pressure from major market players.

This accumulation by whales signals growing optimism about DOGE’s future price trajectory. When large holders increase their positions, it often precedes upward price movements.

The increased whale activity coincides with technical indicators pointing to further upside potential. A falling wedge breakout pattern has emerged, which typically precedes price rallies.

Dogecoin’s four-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) has entered oversold territory, which often signals a price bottom. This technical indicator supports the case for continued upward momentum.

Analyst Ali Martinez has identified two major resistance levels for Dogecoin based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD). These levels are $0.18 and $0.21, where approximately 8% and 7% of the supply was last transacted, respectively.

These price points represent psychological barriers as investors who bought at these levels might be inclined to sell when the price returns to their break-even point.

Breaking through both levels “could be the catalyst for the next major bull rally” as there are no other supply walls as large in sight beyond these points, Martinez said.

The largest supply wall for Dogecoin exists around the $0.07 level, where over 20% of all coins in circulation were last transacted. However, with DOGE currently trading well above this level, this supply is sitting on profit rather than acting as resistance.

Technical Analysis Shows Bullish Crossover:

Technical analysis shows a bullish crossover on Dogecoin’s Relative Strength Index, suggesting that buyers have regained control of the market. When the RSI rises and makes a bullish crossover, it signals that buying pressure is exceeding selling pressure.

This buyer dominance is confirmed by positive order imbalance, indicating more buy orders than sell orders in the market. Such behavior showcases strong bullish sentiment, as investors view current prices as favorable entry points.

Dogecoin’s Long/Short Ratio further confirms this trend, with longs spiking to 71.47% over the past day. Shorts account for only 28% of futures contracts, indicating that traders are positioning for price increases rather than declines.

If the Stochastic RSI completes its upward move and makes a bullish flip, it will validate the RSI’s bullish crossover, potentially confirming continuation of the uptrend.

Price Predictions and Targets:

With this bullish momentum building, analysts suggest that DOGE is likely to reclaim the $0.18 level in the near term. Success at this level could strengthen its position for a push toward $0.19.

Looking further ahead, analyst Javon Marks has made a more ambitious prediction. He observes that DOGE is forming a series of higher lows, a technical pattern that has preceded large price increases in the past.

According to his analysis, Dogecoin could experience a rally of over 270% from current levels, potentially reaching $0.65 in the long run. His analysis highlights a historical correlation between price rallies and the pattern of higher lows.

The recent breakout from a descending triangle pattern is seen as confirmation of this bullish setup. If the price continues to rise, breaking through the $0.25 barrier could pave the way for higher targets.

However, if buying pressure fades and sellers return to the market, DOGE could see a correction down to $0.168.

Despite previous downward trends that saw Dogecoin decline by 5.45% weekly and 15.5% monthly, the current market indicators suggest a potential reversal of this trend.

As Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) maintains its current pace and technical indicators align favorably, Dogecoin appears well-positioned for potential price increases in the coming weeks.
