Technical Setup Suggests Dogecoin Reversal
Crypto analyst Cantonese Cat believes Dogecoin’s prolonged decline might be nearing its end. In a recent analysis, he pointed to what he sees as a constructive technical setup where DOGE has been breaking multiple trendlines while trading volume continues to diminish. This pattern, he suggests, often precedes significant price moves when even small amounts of buying pressure return to the market.
“All this downtrend was on declining volume,” the analyst explained. “So you know that all it takes is just a little bit of volume to reverse this downtrend.” He noted that whenever these trendlines break with some volume behind them, prices tend to move much higher than people expect.
Key Resistance Levels Remain
The analyst acknowledged that Dogecoin still faces some significant technical hurdles. The cryptocurrency remains pinned beneath its primary Fibonacci retracement barrier at the 0.618 level and continues to trade below the weekly Ichimoku cloud. These are important resistance zones that have contained previous rally attempts.
However, he sees the repeated trendline violations and successful back-tests as positive signs. Each time DOGE breaks a downtrend line and then holds above it on subsequent tests, it builds a stronger case for an eventual upside breakout. The analyst specifically mentioned that price needs to establish support in its current trading zone before attempting another move higher.
Broader Market Conditions Improving
The broader cryptocurrency market context appears to be turning more supportive for Dogecoin’s potential reversal. Cantonese Cat pointed to Bitcoin’s recovery above key technical levels after briefly testing its 20-week moving average. Ethereum has also shown strength by breaking through its own resistance levels and successfully back-testing those breakouts.
Perhaps more importantly for altcoins like Dogecoin, the analyst highlighted that the OTHERS index—which tracks the total crypto market cap excluding the top 10 cryptocurrencies—has broken above its weekly Ichimoku cloud and is showing signs of continued strength. This suggests that money might be flowing back into smaller-cap cryptocurrencies.
Potential for Quick Movement
What makes this setup particularly interesting, in the analyst’s view, is how quickly things could change. He described the current situation as a “coiled spring” where even modest buying volume could trigger a sharp price move higher. The reasoning is simple: if sellers are exhausted and volume has been declining during the downtrend, it doesn’t take much new buying to overwhelm the remaining sellers.
“Just a little bit of volume” could be enough to force a violent repricing, according to the analyst. He maintains a bullish stance on Dogecoin until proven otherwise at key support levels. The immediate playbook seems straightforward: hold current support levels, attract some incremental volume, and convert key resistance zones into support.
At the time of the analysis, Dogecoin was trading around $0.233. The analyst believes that if DOGE can successfully navigate these technical hurdles, the next move higher could happen rapidly—something that has characterized Dogecoin’s historical rallies when technical resistance finally gives way.
