Dogecoin

Dogecoin was range-bound for the better part of Tuesday. By the end of the day, it was up by about 2.3%.

Dogecoin started Tuesday trading at $0.1670 on the 38.2% Fibonacci support after a correction in late Monday trading.

Dogecoin traded along the 38.2% Fibonacci for about 3-hours before bulls took control and pushed it through the 50.0% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1687.

Upside momentum was quite strong, and just before daybreak, Dogecoin had pushed through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1705.

However, Dogecoin bulls lost momentum at the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1705. What followed was range-bound trading along with this resistance level until early afternoon.

At this point, bears took control after bulls struggled, but failed, to push Dogecoin through the 61.8% Fib.

Bearish momentum was short-lived, though, and within 2-hours, bears hit strong support at $0.1687 on the 50.0% Fib.

Bulls attempted to take control for the second time in the day, albeit with low volumes. Dogecoin kept edging higher, and by late evening, had pushed through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1705.

However, just an hour before the end of the day, bears took control and pushed Dogecoin back through the 61.8% Fib.

Dogecoin started trading Wednesday bearish, continuing the correction that started in late Tuesday trading. 

Just two hours into the day, bulls took control and pushed Dogecoin back through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance.

When going to press, Dogecoin was testing the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1731.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch are the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1731 and the 61.8% Fibonacci, now support at $0.1687.

If bulls take control and push Dogecoin through the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at 0.1731 the next key level to watch would be the multi-week resistance at $0.1765.

If the multi-week resistance breaks, prices above $0.19 could be seen within the day. 

However, if the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1687 is broken, the next level to watch would be the 50.0% Fibonacci support at $0.1688. If the 50.0% Fibonacci support is broken, prices below $0.165 could be tested within the day.

On the other hand, if volumes drop, Dogecoin could trade between the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1731 and the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1687.
