Dogecoin price edges closer to breakoutÂ
Dogecoin (DOGE) price has produced five lower highs and lower lows since October 31, 2022. Connecting the swing highs using a trend line reveals a declining resistance level. On October 23, DOGE produced a weekly candlestick close above this barrier, signaling a breakout.Â
This development is key for Dogecoin price as it hints at a potential trend reversal. But, a key hurdle sits at $0.0707, which will decide if DOGE consolidates and kickstarts an uptrend. A weekly candlestick close above this barrier will trigger a 17% rally to $0.0814.Â
Supporting this uptrend is the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has recently flipped above the 50 mean levels, suggesting an uptick in bullish momentum. Clearing this barrier will allow Dogecoin price to tag the $0.106 barrier. This move would constitute a 51% gain.Â

On the other hand, if Dogecoin price gets rejected at $0.0707, it could threaten a steep correction. For a bullish thesis to face invalidation, DOGE needs to produce a weekly candlestick close below $0.0573, which would produce a lower low and signal a continuation of the downtrend. In such a case, Dogecoin price could slip 16% and tag the $0.0495 support level.Â
