📊 Price Action: Downtrend Broken, Has a New Bullish Wave Started?
DOGE's price broke the downtrend line that has held since December 2024, fueled by increased liquidity from futures. Technical analysts interpret its rise above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) as a bullish signal.
🔹 Last 2-week rally: +47%
🔹 Current price: $0.24
🔹 Bullish threshold: Resistance zones between $0.27 and $0.31
Rising RSI and MACD signals on the charts indicate that momentum remains strong. This indicates continued growing investor interest.
⚠️ Volatility Alert: Leveraged Positions Could Shake the Market
Positive funding rates indicate a concentration of long (bullish) leveraged positions in the market. Such concentrations often pave the way for sudden price jumps or liquidation-induced crashes.
