How is the Dogecoin price?
Despite the interest of BSC whales, the DOGE price has been falling for the past 24 hours. Technically speaking, it continues to trend above a descending parallel channel it started on Dec 24. The upper bounds of the parallel channel acted as resistance several times in December, with the strongest move to date down 21%. As seen in the chart below, DOGE will attempt to break this channel during the day.
However, a second attempt to break $0.069 will accelerate the next bearish rally. Therefore, the decline thesis may be invalid. However, the bulls will need to recapture the 50-day simple moving average at $0.08 to do so. If the bulls are successful, DOGE price will head towards the midpoint of the December downtrend, at $0.095, according to analyst Tony Montpeirous. This means a 25% increase from the current Dogecoin price.
In summary, the price of Dogecoin has been in a downtrend since the first week of December. Prices have reached an important support area in recent days. Then he managed to rise even higher. But that wasn’t enough to reverse the selling pressure that DOGE has witnessed in recent weeks. Similarly, Bitcoin is showing signs of weakness meanwhile. He spent just under $17,000 during the month. cryptocoin.comAs we have reported, some analysts expect the Musk effect to continue in 2023.
