DOGE/USD technical analysis: DOGE passes $0.8 as it gains over 30% in the past 24 hours
Dogecoin has been trading sideways ever since it hit its $0.0599 all-time high on 29 January. However, the recent hype created around it by Elon Musk, Snoop Dogg and Gene Simmons attracted enough DOGE bulls to push its price even further up. DOGE seems to be following the 21-hour EMA, which it uses as a support level.
DOGE is currently trading between the $0.0736 and the $0.0916 levels. As the volume dies down and the hype fades as Elon Musk stated he is “going back to work,” the cryptocurrency will most likely pull back and retest the $0.0736 level in hopes of finding support.
DOGE’s RSI on the daily time-frame is currently sitting at 64.70 and looks like it topped just under the overbought territory. Its volume also seems to be descending, which might be a sign of the hype factor decreasing.
Buying DOGE is considered a purely speculative investment by many, as its price movement is led by the market sentiment without any technical or fundamental basis point.
