Dogecoin started Wednesday trading bearish and with high volumes. Within the first hour of the day, Dogecoin had pushed through the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $0.185, and came close to testing the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1775. 

Downside momentum declined after Dogecoin failed to test the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1775. This saw DOGE trade between the 50.0% Fibonacci, now resistance at $0.185, and the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1775 until midday. 

That’s when an increase in bearish momentum saw Dogecoin push through the 61.8% Fibonacci support and with high volumes. 

However, with bullish momentum on the rise in the broader market, bears quickly lost momentum. What followed was a rally back through the 61.8% Fibonacci, then resistance, at $0.1775. 

By early evening, Dogecoin had hit the 50.0% Fibonacci, now resistance, at $0.185. This resistance proved to be too strong for bulls, and Dogecoin turned bearish for the rest of the evening. 

Dogecoin started Thursday trading range-bound between the 50.0% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1857 and the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1775. Dogecoin was yet to break out In any direction when going to press.
