  • Key technical indicators are bullish, with DOGE and SHIB breaking out from their 200-day EMAs.

It was a bullish day for DOGE and SHIB on Wednesday. Bullish sentiment across the broader crypto market delivered support.

Following a 2.68% gain on Tuesday, DOGE rallied by 6.04% to end the day at $0.1299. SHIB followed a 2.18% gain from Tuesday, with a 3.96% rise to end the day at $0.00002439.

Crypto News Updates Deliver DOGE and SHIB Support

Broader investor appetite for cryptos delivered support to DOGE and SHIB mid-week.

News of more than 1.02bn SHIB tokens burnt on March 22 delivered SHIB support.

Dogecoin’s breakout stemmed from news of Bitcoin of America adding Dogecoin to its Bitcoin ATMs (BTMs). Increased access to Dogecoin is a key price driver, as is the case when exchanges include coins onto their platforms.

BTMs are not only cash dispensers but also support the buying of crypto with fiat and the selling of crypto for fiat.

DOGE Price Action

At the time of writing, DOGE was up 4.08% to $0.1352.

A bullish start to the day saw DOGE break through the First Major Resistance Level at $0.1340 to strike an early high of $0.1358.

A move through to $0.1360 would support another breakout day.

Technical Indicators

DOGE will need to hold above the First Major Resistance Level at $0.1340 to take another run at the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.1382.

Support from the broader crypto market is needed for a move through the morning high of $0.1358.

An extended rally would test the resistance at $0.1400. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.1488.

A fall through the First Major Resistance Level and the day’s $0.1276 pivot would test the First Major Support Level at $0.1234. Barring an extended sell-off, DOGE should steer clear of sub-$0.12. The Second Major Support Level sits at $0.1170.

This morning we had a bullish cross, with the 50-day EMA crossing through the 100-day. The 100-day EMA narrowed on the 200-day EMA, also positive.

Holding above the 200-day EMA would support a run at $0.14.

An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.0000260. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.0000279.
