Dogecoin (DOGE) price significantly increased on January 20 but experienced a sharp decline the following day. According to experts, the popular meme token has been trading within the support area of a downward formation for about two months. Will it reverse the trend with a rise, or will losses in Dogecoin continue?
DOGE’s Decline After Elon Musk’s Influence
In the meme token’s daily time frame technical analysis, the price has been trading in an ascending parallel channel since June 2023. In December, the price exited the channel, rising to $0.108. However, Dogecoin later fell, and a decline within the channel’s boundaries occurred on January 3, 2024.
Since the mentioned period, there have been two unsuccessful attempts to rise. The second rejection in the cryptocurrency occurred shortly after Elon Musk introduced an “X Payments” account on his platform. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing a downward trend. Readings above 50 and an upward trend indicate that bulls are still at an advantage, while readings below 50 suggest the opposite.
Dogecoin’s Price Trend
In Dogecoin, the RSI is below 50 and falling, which could be a sign of a bearish trend in both cases. The six-hour time frame, like the daily time frame, is showing a downward trend. This is attributed to DOGE price movement and RSI readings. Dogecoin’s price movement has fallen below a descending resistance trend line since the mentioned peak in December 2023. More recently, the trend line caused a rejection on January 21, 2024.
When the resistance trend line is combined with a horizontal area at $0.077, it forms a descending triangle, considered a bearish pattern. The six-hour RSI, being below 50 and falling, could support a price decline. A break covering the entire height of the formation could lead to a 27% drop in Dogecoin, potentially bringing the price to the nearest support at $0.058.
