Cryptocurrencies are maintaining a positive trend, and Bitcoin has once again surpassed the anticipated $71,000 threshold. However, not everything is rosy. The market’s largest meme coin by value is showing clear signs of a potential downturn, with prices possibly dropping by about 40%. So what are the current forecasts for Dogecoin?
Dogecoin (DOGE)
The oldest and largest meme coin by market value, DOGE, was outperforming for a while but failed to surpass $0.23. Losses were triggered alongside Bitcoin‘s price fluctuations. Moreover, the upcoming US inflation data on Wednesday could yield unexpected results.
For the past two months, the Federal Reserve has not taken data too seriously, but if inflation does not decrease again, the scenario of a 75 basis point annual reduction could be reconsidered. The current lack of appetite is somewhat linked to the optimism bubble in interest rates being popped.
Although Dogecoin‘s price shows signs of an uptrend in the 8-hour chart, a closer look reveals an increasing risk of decline. Extended candlesticks are creating a bearish formation. Furthermore, Dogecoin investors’ 30-day profit rate is at 9.2%, and historically, a 30-day MVRV ratio between 8% and 18% has triggered price corrections, which may make bulls reluctant to maintain support levels.
DOGE Price Predictions
Another significant detail on the downside is the percentage of investor profitability, which is currently around 90% and typically leads to price declines when it approaches 95%. The price of Dogecoin is at $0.206 at the time of writing this article and is continuing the day with a 1.7% increase.
The DOGE price is trapped within a falling wedge, a formation that typically results in a downward movement. According to this pattern, the target for Dogecoin’s price could be around 40% below the current level, at the $0.127 area. However, if bulls manage to break through the formation’s resistance and achieve a close above it, the bearish predictions could be invalidated, potentially reaching above $0.22.
In an optimistic scenario, the price has the potential to test the $0.24 and $0.27 levels. Of course, no one can predict the future, and the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies reminds investors to always be cautious. The price of Bitcoin at the time this article was prepared is $71,664.
