- Dogecoin faced a sharp rejection at the Ichimoku Cloud, triggering a swift pullback.
- Price is now holding a key demand zone that could decide the next major move.
- Momentum remains weak, but signs suggest selling pressure is slowing.
Dogecoin has entered a critical phase as technical signals clash between short-term weakness and early base-building signs. Recent price action shows DOGE struggling under heavy resistance while quietly stabilizing at levels that have historically attracted buyers. Market watchers are now focused on whether this zone can hold or if another leg lower is still ahead.
Rejection at Resistance Shakes Short-Term Confidence
Trader Tardigrade observed that a bearish confirmation occurred when Dogecoin made contact with the Ichimoku Kumo Cloud and was immediately rejected. This represented a fall of 6.52%, and this is further evidence that the Cloud is a very strong resistance zone.
The Ichimoku indicator is well-renowned for demonstrating trend strength and equilibrium, and making contact with the Kumo generally indicates that the trend is still dominated by a seller.

Talking about the broader picture in the daily chart, Dogecoin’s initial positive phase is over. The coin formed a rounded bottom and initially moved up with a steady uptrend, making higher highs and higher lows.
The demand kept moving steadily, and even during corrections, they happened in an orderly manner. However, after hitting peak values in late summer, this changed. DOGE started making lower highs and lower lows, indicating distribution and not panic selling.

Dogecoin Support Zone Could Shape the Next Move
BitGuru pointed out that Dogecoin is currently close to strong support and liquidity levels following many weeks of dropping. Current price is held steady between $0.12 and $0.13, corresponding to a former level of demand and a typical value for traders.

The ranges on the candles have compressed, and the drop has lost momentum, suggesting that selling pressure is reducing. A steady increase to the level between $0.18 and $0.19 could then follow.
On the weekly chart, Dogecoin is at approximately $0.128 levels, holding below key moving averages. It faces tough resistance at the 20-week EMA of $0.176 levels and the 50-week EMA of $0.194 levels.
Additionally, DOGE has been attempting to move above the 200-week EMA of approximately $0.155 levels. Failure to reclaim this support zone would make the larger structure weak.
However, the volatility has decreased as the tighter Bollinger Bands indicate that this market may become more active in the future. In fact, the lower band at around $0.102 corresponds with the long-term demand area.

Momentum is not strong at this point, with RSI values at 36, and the MACD still in the negative region. But the reduction in the strength of downside pressure indicates this market could remain flat in the interim before a new path emerges.
