Dogecoin Teeters Between ‘Price Discovery’ And ‘Catastrophe’: What’s Next?

The Dogecoin price is currently down -34% from its December 8 high
at $0.4843. But according to crypto analyst Kevin
(@Kev_Capital_TA), DOGE has one of “the better looking” charts at
the moment. In a new Broadcast on X, he offered an in-depth look at
Dogecoin, the broader market environment, and key technical
indicators. Dogecoin: Price Discovery Or Catastrophe? Despite the
current retracement, Kevin believes Dogecoin’s chart “looks really
nice at the moment” and appears stronger than many other
cryptocurrencies: “This is a stronger coin compared to a lot of the
market. I mean, Doge really does look good here. […] Can it not
look good in a week from now? Of course it can, but it looks really
good at the moment.” However, he emphasized the possibility of
short-term pullbacks—something that could bring Dogecoin down to
the $.026 region: “In the short term, could we come back down and
test 26 cents? Which I’m gonna throw that out there […] I see no
real reason to be uber bearish […] but is it possible that we come
back down here? Sure.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could Soar
To $23 Based On These Bullish Fractals The $0.26 to $0.28 range
emerged as the critical juncture for Dogecoin’s near-term outlook:
“As long as we remain above this 28 to 26 cent level […] I see no
reason to be super fearful. If we pierce that level […] A loss of
$0.26 cents on weekly closes would be catastrophic.” Kevin traced
this specific target back to November, when he first suggested
Dogecoin would revisit the golden pocket near $0.26. According to
him, many were skeptical, but that level eventually got hit: “I
took a lot of heat for making that call back in early November when
we were at 45 cents […] We ended up coming back down and testing
that.” Looking to the upside, Kevin pinpoints a substantial
resistance area between $0.30 and $0.35, calling it “big, big
resistance.” Following that, he labels $0.94 to $1.00 as his “next
big zone,” though he cautioned traders against assuming a
guaranteed climb. For Dogecoin to breach previous all-time highs
and truly enter “full-blown price discovery,” Kevin wants to see a
break above the 0.703 and 0.786 Fibonacci retracements—roughly
$0.53 and $0.59 cents, respectively: “I don’t see anything holding
Dogecoin back from full-blown price discovery […] We want to break
53 cents […] and then the 0.786 at 59 cents. If we’re durably
breaking past that 60 cent area, I don’t see anything holding
Dogecoin back.” Drawing parallels to past market cycles, Kevin
highlighted how Dogecoin historically checks in with its “bull
market support band” and macro support levels before rallying: “We
came back, we tested structure support […] bull market support band
in this cycle. This is very similar to [the previous cycle]. You
can’t deny the similarities.” He described how Dogecoin’s present
chart mirrors its cycle patterns “almost insanely,” referring to a
breakout followed by a falling wedge, an initial climb, and a
retest of macro support: “Crypto has this insane innate ability to
follow its cyclical nature of performance […] it’s truly amazing,
really.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Bought Over 90 Million

Kevin reminded viewers that external market factors and Bitcoin’s
performance (which he called “the leader of the market”) could
always derail patterns: “We obviously need Bitcoin to cooperate. We
can’t have any crazy situations happen globally.” Kevin also
examined the DOGE/BTC pair, noting a macro trend line and a golden
pocket test: “We have this macro trend line […] we broke through
that and we came back in. We’re currently at the bull market
support band […] We came back and tested the macro golden pocket
again.” He stressed that if Dogecoin remains above this zone on the
DOGE/BTC chart, it should head higher. A breakdown, however, could
spell trouble: “Kind of like that 26 cent level […] if we come down
and break […] it will coincide with a break of the bull market
support band and this macro golden pocket, in which case we can be
in some pretty deep s**t.” Kevin also delved into macroeconomic and
geopolitical factors that could influence Dogecoin and the wider
crypto sphere. He posited that the President Donald Trump returning
to the White House in January is “very bullish” if it leads to
improved regulations, reduced conflict, and pro-growth policies:
“We have Trump coming in the office in January, meaning we’re going
to have a crypto-friendly administration […] If we can get the
Ukraine and Russia war ended, that’s going to be bullish for
markets […] We can get inflation back down to 2% and then start
lowering interest rates faster.” When And How High Will DOGE Rise
Again? From December dumps to Q1 optimism, Kevin noted how market
participants often front-run expectations by about a month. He
suggested that if January ends up choppy, February might be the
point when markets begin their true climb: “Everyone thought
October was going to be bullish. October was not bullish. November
was bullish. Now everyone thinks January is going to be bullish […]
Maybe February is bullish.” When pressed for specific price
targets, Kevin pointed to several Fibonacci extensions and the Pi
Cycle Top indicator on the Dogecoin chart: “If we break through
previous all-time highs, the next resistance zone is going to be
$0.94 up to $1.32 […] If we break through $1.32, the next big
resistance zone that I’m eyeing is $2.19 up to $2.78.” However, he
made it clear that any long-term price predictions depend heavily
on technical indicators and confirmations. He highlighted multiple
monthly indicators—MACD, RSI, Stoch RSI, and the Pi Cycle Top—as
potential signals to exit positions: “I don’t care what the price
is at that point […] once we get up into that zone, I’m taking
profits off the board. If the monthly indicators start flashing,
I’m getting out.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.32. Featured
