Dogecoin price action is at a critical decision zone, according to a new technical analysis shared by a crypto analyst on TradingView. This analysis comes as Dogecoin bulls accumulate in the $0.16 range to successfully defend this price level in the past 24 hours.

The price action has pushed the meme coin to currently retesting a historical support area, and the coming days will determine whether Dogecoin breaks lower or begins a recovery toward the $0.20 region.

Dogecoin Nears Support With Bearish Triangle Formation

The analyst noted that Dogecoin is trading within a descending triangle pattern, a typically bearish structure that could see the price continue downward if support is broken. This support is situated at the horizontal zone between $0.164 and $0.18, highlighted as an accumulation area where buyers have previously stepped in. 

The Ichimoku Cloud indicates a persistent bearish trend, but the analyst flagged some early signs of exhaustion in downward momentum that suggests that Dogecoin might be bottoming at $0.16. However, confirmation is required before deciding about any bullish momentum. For instance, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has fallen to around 32.98, nearing oversold territory but not yet showing strong divergence. 

Simultaneously, the Wave Trend Oscillator (WTO) is also deep in the oversold zone, with its signal lines beginning to curl upward that shows a possible short-term bounce. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) still hasn’t confirmed a reversal, as its signal line has yet to be crossed.

Selling Pressure Continues To Linger

Dogecoin has spent the larger part of the past seven days around $0.16. Interestingly, the analyst noted that the MACD histogram is shrinking on the negative side, showing bearish momentum is weakening. However, the formation of lower highs reveals that sellers are still exerting pressure, preventing any meaningful upward move. 

The cluster algo, which tracks potential market inflection points, has not yet flashed a strong bullish signal. Still, the compression of its lines shows that a breakout either up or down may be very close. The analyst refers to this as a “critical decision zone,” where a firm defense of the $0.164 level could cause a move back toward $0.20 or even $0.21, coinciding with the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level. Beyond that, a break above $0.21 and strong buying volume could push the Dogecoin price until it reaches strong further resistance at $0.28 and subsequently $0.455, according to the 0.786 Fibonacci level. 

Should Dogecoin fail to hold the $0.164 support, the price could retrace further until it reaches the $0.11 to $0.12 zone seen in market lows. Such a move would essentially see Dogecoin returning to price levels it hasn’t traded in since Q4 2023.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin was trading at $0.1696.

The crypto market has closed yet another week, keeping traders and investors cautious with sluggish price performances. Bitcoin (BTC) price held the $83K level with no major gains in the past seven days. Whereas, Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP prices mimicked a sluggish action.

Notably, the latest announcement by Donald Trump about reciprocal tariffs has rattled global markets, with even risk assets encountering some macro heat. Mentioned below are some of the top market updates reported by CoinGape Media over the past week.

Crypto Market Faces Macroeconomic Pressure

This week saw a couple of concerning macro developments that sparked a cautious sentiment among traders and investors. CoinGape reported that the manufacturing PMI and JOLTS data came in weaker than expected this week.

The March PMI data dropped to 49, below expectations of 49.5 and lower than the 50 recorded in February. Also, the U.S. JOLTS job openings for February stood at 7.568 million, coming short of the expected 7.690 million and lower than the 7.762 million recorded in January. This macro data pointed toward a bearish outlook for the broader market.

In turn, even the crypto market saw a stalled movement, with Bitcoin & Ether prices negating any major gains over the past seven days. In addition, Donald Trump’s Liberation Day, which is the tagline for his proposed reciprocal tariffs on other countries, has added to the pressure on broader markets.

Bitcoin, Ether, & Other Coin Prices Over The Week

BTC price witnessed a marginal 0.5% jump in the past seven days and closed in at the $83K level. In the past 7 days, the flagship crypto stooped as low as $81K whilst also touching a $87K high.

ETH price saw a drop of nearly 2% weekly and exchanged hands at the $1,800 level. Ethereum hit a bottom of $1,700 whilst also nearing a high of $2,000 this week

SOL price fell by roughly 5% over the week to reach $120. The crypto’s weekly high and low was $135 and $112, respectively.

XRP price mimicked the broader crypto market trend, dipping over 2% in seven days to $2.13. Ripple’s coin is consolidating despite speculations of an imminent settlement of the lawsuit against the U.S. SEC.
