- Dogecoin’s price action is stuck in a tug-of-war, with bullish chart patterns clashing against weakening support and declining investor interest.
- Analysts remain divided, leaving DOGE’s near-term direction uncertain amid mixed technical and on-chain signals.
Dogecoin, the ever-volatile memecoin that started as a joke, is once again dividing the crypto community. As the broader market shows tentative signs of recovery, DOGE has become a lightning rod for speculation—leaving traders to wonder: is it gearing up for a breakout or bracing for a breakdown?
In early May, Dogecoin surged past $0.18, sparking hopes of a sustained rally. But those hopes were short-lived as the token dipped below the critical $0.175 support level, bottoming out at $0.165 on May 6. A modest 3% bounce has brought it back to around $0.1734, yet sentiment remains mixed.
Bearish Case: Weak Support, Strong Resistance
Analyst Farid Saremi, writing on TradingView, sees storm clouds ahead. He highlights a decisive drop below DOGE’s equilibrium zone of $0.18–$0.21—a zone he deems vital for bullish momentum. According to Saremi, this breakdown signals a loss of buyer control and opens the door to a further slide.
He points to historical support levels at $0.10894 and $0.07478, suggesting they could be revisited if bearish momentum persists. “The targets will be touched,” Saremi warns, indicating confidence in further downside.

Bullish Case: Classic Patterns Hint at Breakout
Others remain optimistic. Trader Tardigrade sees a familiar “falling wedge” pattern on the DOGE/Total chart—one that last year preceded a 300% rally. This time, he projects a possible breakout to $0.6936 if history repeats itself.
Supporting this, analysts Ali Martinez and Efloud identify key support zones between $0.167 and $0.169, forecasting a potential move to $0.183 or even $0.28 if momentum shifts upward. A “Diamond Bottom” reversal pattern adds further intrigue to the bullish thesis.
Metrics Signal Uncertainty
Despite the technical setups, on-chain data tells a more cautious story. Exchange inflows are surpassing outflows, hinting at growing sell pressure. Meanwhile, DOGE’s Relative Strength Index hovers near 50—neither overbought nor oversold—reflecting indecision.
With declining trading volume and waning retail interest, Dogecoin’s future remains clouded in uncertainty. Whether it’s gearing up for another moonshot or set to slide further may ultimately depend on whether bullish patterns can outpace bearish fundamentals.
