Crypto Market Flatlines with No Major News to Influence

It was a quiet day on the crypto news wires, leaving the broader market in the red by the day end.

The lack of direction followed a Friday partial recovery of losses from Thursday. Regulatory risk remains a consideration for the crypto market. This week, the headline news was the EU parliamentary vote to introduce KYC for private wallets.

DOGE Price Action

At the time of writing, DOGE was up 0.79% to $0.1399.

A move back through to $0.1430 would bring $0.15 into play.

Technical Indicators

DOGE will need to move through the day’s $0.1404 pivot to make a run on the First Major Resistance Level at $0.1428. DOGE would need the broader crypto market to support a move back through $0.1420 levels.

An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.1467 and resistance at $0.15. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.1530.

Failure to move through the pivot would test the First Major Support Level at $0.1365. Barring an extended sell-off, DOGE should steer clear of sub-$0.1350 levels. The Second Major Support Level sits at $0.1341.
