Key Takeaways

  • Dogecoin’s(DOGE) price increased by 160% in November.
  • The price is trading inside an ascending parallel channel.
  • Will Dogecoin break down from the channel, starting a correction?

Dogecoin (DOGE) was one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in November, increasing by 160%.

The increase led to an over 1,300-day high in December. However, DOGE fell 11% on Dec. 9 and risks a breakdown from its monthlong pattern.

Will DOGE break down, and where will it find support if it does? Let’s find out.

Dogecoin’s Parabolic Increase

The weekly time frame chart shows that DOGE has increased parabolically since the beginning of November. The upward movement caused a breakout from the long-term horizontal resistance at $0.210, culminating with a yearly high of $0.484 in December.

This was roughly 40% below the all-time high price of $0.738, reached in May 2021.

DOGE has fallen slightly since, suffering rejection from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement resistance level of $0.475. Above it, DOGE only faces resistance at $0.545 before it can reach a new all-time high price.

On the other hand, there is no support below the current price until the aforementioned $0.210 area.

Technical indicators are bullish, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) gives an interesting signal. The indicator has crossed above 70, reaching overbought territory, staying there for 35 days.

The previous time the indicator crossed into this territory was in December 2020 (white), leading to a 23,000% increase. Then, the all-time high price was reached 140 days after the RSI moved above 70.

While a 23,000% increase seems unlikely, the signal suggests several months remain until the Dogecoin price reaches its high.

Breakdown Ahead?

While the weekly chart is bullish, the daily one gives a bearish Dogecoin prediction. This is because the memecoin trades at the support trend line of an ascending parallel channel that has contained the movement since Nov. 12. Such channels usually contain corrective movements, meaning that a breakdown is more likely.

Additionally, the channel’s resistance has thwarted all previous breakout attempts, creating long upper wicks (black icons) and signs of selling pressure.

Furthermore, the daily RSI and MACD have both generated bearish divergences (green), a bearish signal that often precedes downward movements.

The wave count aligns with this bearish short-term outlook. It shows a 1-2/1-2/1-2 wave formation, an extremely bullish structure that led to the parabolic upward movement. The wave, sub-wave, and minor sub-wave counts are in white, black, and yellow, respectively.

The most likely count suggests that sub-wave three has ended, and DOGE is now correcting inside sub-wave four. The minor sub-wave count shows a completed ending diagonal, aligning with the possibility.

As a result, the daily time frame suggests the Dogecoin price will correct toward the 0.382-0.5 Fibonacci retracement support area of $0.234-$0.338 before resuming its long-term upward movement.

Dogecoin Price Correction

After an impressive rally in November, the DOGE price may be nearing a local top. Dogecoin risks a breakdown from its ascending parallel channel, which could trigger a decline of at least 20%.

A close below the channel’s support trend line at $0.410 will confirm this bearish short-term outlook.
