Dogecoin Chart Signals Short-Term Caution
On Friday, Dogecoin saw another 4.2% intraday decline to from the $0.126 area amid the ongoing market volatility. The cryptocurrency has retraced over 50% from the early October highs, losing multiple key support zones in the past two months.
After losing the $0.135 level nearly two weeks ago, DOGE has been the $0.120-$0.135 price range, failing to break past the rangeโs high despite various attempts. Now, the largest memecoin by market capitalization is attempting to hold the crucial $0.120 support zone to prevent further bleeding.
Therefore, some market observers have advised caution during the last week of the year. In an X post, analyst More Crypto Online affirmed that Dogecoin โis still a falling knifeโ as it appears that its corrective move is not done yet.
โThereโs no evidence that wave B has bottomed,โ he explained, which suggests that a 20% drop toward the next key supports, the $0.096 and $0.08 levels, could be likely. Per the post, โCaution is recommended until the price shows a first micro 5-wave move to the upside.โ
Similarly, analyst Crypto Jobs warned that investors should stay cautious as Dogecoin does not display a bullish reversal structure and has weak buying volume, unlike multiple other altcoins.
He explained that momentum is bearish despite holding the key $0.12 level, adding that, as long as DOGEโs price stays under the $0.14-$0.15 area, bulls wonโt be in control and the bearish set up and downtrend structure will remain intact.
No buy pressure at the moment, without volume. No bull structureโฆ Under the main downtrend & channel, seeing another dump toward the $0.100 โ $0.09500 lower support looks realistic. Sideway phase ongoing on the short term [H4 outlook]. We may also see some bullish move before a possible next wave downward.
DOGEโs Price Breakdown Imminent?
Market watcher BitGuru considers that DOGEโs deep correction is completed. He pointed out that the cryptocurrency is currently sitting in a major demand zone, between the $0.120-$0.130 levels, where liquidity has already been swept.
Based on this, he forecasted that a reclaim of the late November levels could set the stage for a recovery rally toward the $0.18 resistance. On the contrary, failing to hold the current levels would hint that Dogecoin will continue in a prolonged consolidation phase.
Meanwhile, Trader Tardigrade highlighted that the cryptocurrencyโs price has reached the target of its previous symmetrical triangle pattern after breaking down from the formation earlier this month.

Now, Dogecoin is forming a new pattern and โsearching for a new trend,โ he added. According to the trader, DOGE has been forming another symmetrical triangle pattern on the H4 chart over the past two weeks, which could resolve in a 15% move toward a bearish or bullish trend.
Notably, Fridayโs pullback sent the cryptocurrency below the patternโs lower boundary, which sits around the $0.123 mark, signaling that a drop toward the $0.10-$0.11 area is possible if price doesnโt bounce soon.
As of this writing, Dogecoin trades at $0.122, a 7.3% decline in the weekly timeframe.
