Dogecoin’s recent price action within the Bollinger Bands indicates that it is currently at a crossroads.
According to crypto analyst SwallowAcademy on TradingView, Dogecoin is poised for a potential breakout, but there is a critical resistance level to watch that could determine its next move.
Resistance at the Middle Bollinger Band
Since early February, Dogecoin has been trading within the Bollinger Bands, experiencing volatility. After a sharp decline in early February that saw it dip below the lower band, Dogecoin has since recovered and is now trading within the bands again.
Typically, such a dip followed by a rally brings the price toward the middle Bollinger band, which is exactly what has happened. However, instead of continuing its bullish movement, Dogecoin has struggled to break through this key resistance.
This resistance at the middle band is either due to lingering selling pressure or a lack of strong buying momentum. According to SwallowAcademy, the next critical test for Dogecoin is whether it can push past this resistance. If it does, a rally of at least 15% could be in the cards, with the potential to return above the $0.30 mark and eventually aim for the $0.40 price range.
The Risk Factor: A Possible Drop Before the Breakout
While the bullish outlook remains intact if Dogecoin can surpass the middle Bollinger band, there’s a risk of a deeper retest before any significant breakout. The analyst noted that after Dogecoin’s explosive rally in November 2024, there was no proper retest of key resistance zones. Historically, such gaps are revisited, and Dogecoin may need to test the lower support level again before it can move higher.
In the worst-case scenario, Dogecoin could drop as low as $0.20 before bouncing back. However, if it manages a successful retest at that level, it could pave the way for a significant breakout toward the predicted $0.40 target.
As of now, Dogecoin is trading at $0.2534, with bulls hoping for a break above the middle Bollinger band to confirm a stronger uptrend.
