Dogecoin Price Slump Looms, Analyst Points To Only One Lifeline

Dogecoin (DOGE) has entered a period of weakness, slipping roughly
16% from its November 23 local high of $0.4795. As the original
meme cryptocurrency struggles to reclaim key technical levels, the
consensus among some analysts is that DOGE’s ability to stabilize
or recover may hinge almost entirely on an external factor:
Bitcoin’s trajectory. Dogecoin Price At Risk Of Another Slump
Technical analysis suggests that the previously well-respected
uptrend line, established in mid-November, has now turned into a
formidable barrier. After breaching this support line earlier in
the week, Dogecoin bulls attempted several times to push the price
back above it. Yet none of these efforts have succeeded. Crypto
analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA), who has been closely tracking the
DOGE/USD 1-day chart, notes that DOGE is “getting rejected from the
re test of this trend line that we were holding for almost a month
on top of that it sits right in the macro .786 Fib.”—a technical
zone often associated with significant turning points and potential
reversals. Beyond the trend line, internal momentum indicators
paint a challenging picture. Kevin emphasizes that the daily MACD
for DOGE is showing “strong momentum to the downside,” a technical
signal suggesting the market’s short- to mid-term bias may lean
lower unless the broader crypto environment shifts. Related

Correction – Bullish Signal? In his view, “It’s safe to say without
a BTC move higher the more probable move for DOGE in the short to
mid term is lower. A BTC move higher could save us though.” He
identifies $0.32—the origin of the prior uptrend line—as a primary
downside target. Should DOGE fail to hold above that level, traders
may look toward the $0.29 to $0.26 range as potential next stops.
In another post on X, Kevin emphasized that Dogecoin price pinned
between two critical long-term Fibonacci levels. He describes DOGE
as currently “trading between the macro golden pocket,” roughly at
$0.47, and the macro 0.5 Fib level near $0.39. According to him, a
firm break above or below these pivotal levels could trigger what
he calls a “cascading” effect of “aggressive movement.” He adds:
“My position is that DOGE is not in control of itself and it’s fate
lies purely in BTC’s hands at the moment so overly focusing on the
asset is sort of a waste of time. I see nothing telling me the
cycle is over therefore this should head higher soon enough
regardless of short term noise. Nothing else to do but sit back and
wait if you’re a long term holder who got in early like myself.”
However, there is at least one silver lining worth noting. Kevin
mentions he is “tracking [a] potential hidden bullish divergence”
on the DOGE daily chart. Hidden bullish divergences occur when
price action continues to trend higher over a longer timeframe,
while momentum indicators—like the Relative Strength Index
(RSI)—trend lower. Related Reading: Dogecoin, XRP Flashing
‘Overlooked’ Bullish Signal, Santiment Reveals This pattern can
sometimes signal that a market’s underlying strength is greater
than it appears. It is, as the analyst puts it, “pretty textbook”
at the moment, though it still needs the all-important help from
Bitcoin. “Still need BTC to cooperate so nothing guaranteed,” Kevin
remarks. What About Bitcoin? Kevin points out that Bitcoin is
currently “squeezing” between an upward trend line of support and a
macro golden pocket—levels derived from the previous bull market
high to bear market low. This tightening price action suggests an
imminent resolution: BTC is unlikely to remain compressed in this
zone much longer. A decisive breakout, in either direction, seems
imminent and could have far-reaching consequences. “This upwards
consolidation cannot last much longer. We will get a bust in either
direction very soon,” Kevin predicts. On the liquidity front, Kevin
sees significant upside liquidity blocks for BTC, noting that
“built up liquidity” over the last 48 hours aligns with the macro
1.703 Fibonacci level. He also mentions observing data that shows
whales purchasing large options calls for MicroStrategy (MSTR)
stock. Such purchases may reflect anticipation of a BTC move
higher, given MicroStrategy’s well-known Bitcoin treasury holdings.
If these whales and liquidity indicators are correct, and BTC does
indeed push upward, DOGE might find the “one lifeline” it needs to
stabilize and reverse its current downtrend. At press time, DOGE
traded at $0.405. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from
