Technical Indicators

DOGE will need to avoid the day’s $0.1221 pivot to make a run on the First Major Resistance Level at $0.1264. DOGE would need the broader crypto market to support a move through Saturday’s high of $0.1251.

An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.1291 and resistance at $0.13. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.1358.

A fall through the pivot would test the First Major Support Level at $0.1197. Barring an extended sell-off, DOGE should steer clear of sub-$0.118 levels. The Second Major Support Level sits at $0.1157.
