Dogecoin (DOGE): Key Trends And Highlights For April 9

Descending Wedge
The price of DOGE/USD is analyzed at one-hour intervals from Apr 1 to Apr 9 using data from HitBTC. This is done in order to trace Dogecoin’s current trading pattern.
On Apr 4, the price made a low of $0.0041. Since then, several market cycles have been completed with each high being lower than the previous one.
Tracing these highs gives us a descending resistance line:
On Apr 4, the price made a high low of $0.0031. A gradual increase was followed by a decrease. The price made a lower low on Apr 9.
Tracing these lows gives us a descending support line. However, the line has only been touched twice, therefore it is possible that the price will create different levels of support.
The support and resistance lines combine to create a descending wedge. This is a bullish pattern. It suggests price increases and a possible breakout as more likely than price losses or a breakdown.
It is likely that the price will keep decreasing at the rate predicted by the wedge until a decisive move occurs.
In order to figure out the direction of the move, we need to take a look at previous movements alongside technical indicators.
Moving Averages
In order to better assess future price fluctuations, we incorporate moving averages into our analysis. Furthermore, we analyze DOGE/USD at one-day intervals from Dec 2018 to Apr 2019 alongside the 200-day moving average.Moving averages are tools used in technical analysis to smooth out price action. It is a lagging indicator since it is based on past prices. The relationship between prices and moving averages can help in identifying the beginning and end of a trend.
On Apr 3, the price moved above the 200-day moving average.On Apr 9, it decreased below it for a short period of time, before rebounding and finding support above it.
Furthermore, the moving average coincides with the $0.0026 support area created by the highs of Dec 2018.
Therefore, we believe that this is a very significant support area that is not likely to be broken in such a short period of time.
Possible Reversal
Resistance and support areas are created when the price visits the same level several times. They can provide reversal areas in case a breakout or breakdown occurs.
The closest support area is found near $0.0026. If the price keeps decreasing at the rate predicted by the wedge, it will reach this area again during the upcoming days. We do not believe that the price will decrease below this area.
The closest resistance area is found near $0.0036. If the price were to break out from the wedge, it would provide a likely reversal area.
Summary of Analysis
Based on our analysis, the price of DOGE is likely to keep trading inside the wedge and possibly break out.
