The Price of Dogecoin Increased Temporarily
Dogecoin’s price action is not in a sweet spot. In just five minutes, comments trashed the planned bull target for next week at $0.1357. As a result, Dogecoin (DOGE) dipped back to its opening level and took another step away from where it had been before.
The price of Dogecoin went down when the news came out. A trend line and an intermediary top-line stopped the bulls from taking the price higher. So instead, the price went back to where it started and looked like it would fall more. A possible target for the price going down is $0.1137 and $0.1100.
Investors may be slow to react, but if they buy the dip, it could increase the price by $0.1197 to the upside. This would open the door towards $0.1242 intraday and possibly again on track for $0.1357.
The US session has only just begun, so economic recovery is time. Maybe even some good news on taxes or regulations before traders move onto other things – providing markets with support at both $0.1197 and psychological levels like barbette above them where buyers seem confident again.
