Dogecoin Wedge

The price broke out from the wedge on April 13.

Where will it go next?

In order to answer that question, we need to take a look at some technical indicators.

Technical Indicators

We begin with the MACD and RSI.

The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a trend indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages (long and short-term) and the price. It is used to measure the strength of a move.

The relative strength index (RSI) is an indicator which calculates the size of the changes in price in order to determine oversold or overbought conditions in the market.

Combining MACD and RSI bullish/bearish divergence with support/resistance essentially predicts price fluctuations.

DOGE Divergence

On Apr 9, the price made a low of $0.00272. It reached the same level on Apr 16.

Similarly, the RSI and the MACD reached the first low on Apr 9. However, they have proceeded to generate higher values.

This is known as bullish divergence and often precedes price increases.

The level of divergence is not very significant. However, we believe it gains validity since it is occurring after the breakout from a bullish pattern.

Using these indicators, we believe that the price of DOGE will increase in the future. However, the increase may be slow.

Possible Reversal

To determine future areas of reversal, we incorporate resistance areas into the analysis.

Resistance areas are created when the price visits the same level several times. They can provide reversal areas in case a breakout or breakdown occurs.
Doge Resistance

The closest resistance area is found near $0.0030. The second one is found near $0.0036.  We believe that the price will reach at least one of these areas.
