  • Dogecoin needs to hold above $0.1946 intra-day support for the bull rally to continue despite Tesla news. 
  • Shiba Inu bulls in control, but SHIB needs to push through $0.00003330 resistance for an uptrend to be confirmed. 
  • Solana is directionless, but if the 38.2% Fibonacci Fib support breaks, bears could take control throughout Friday. 

Dogecoin

Dogecoin was directionless for all through Thursday. However, it closed the day higher by 2%. 

Dogecoin started Thursday trading bullish, a continuation of bullish momentum that began in late Wednesday trading.

Buying momentum was quite strong, and by the third hour of the day, Dogecoin had pushed through the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1648.

Just before daybreak, Dogecoin had tested multi-week resistance at $0.1725. However, the multi-week resistance proved too strong for bulls, and Dogecoin ranged around it until early afternoon. It is at this point that bears attempted to retake control. 

With bearish sentiment prevalent in the broader market, Dogecoin turned bearish for most of the afternoon. This continued until the early evening when Dogecoin hit the 78.6% Fibonacci, now support at $0.1648. 

This support proved to be quite strong, and Dogecoin rallied off it for the rest of the evening. By the end of the day Thursday, Dogecoin was trading at the multi-week resistance at $0.1725. 

Dogecoin started Friday trading bullish. This followed news that Tesla had begun testing DOGE for payments, just like Elon Musk had promised in late 2021. 

This news saw Dogecoin buying volumes surge in the morning, and at daybreak, DOGE had hit and pushed through key monthly resistance at $0.1946. 

The rally was easing up when going to press, and Dogecoin was retracing back to the multi-month resistance, now intra-day support at $0.1946.

The key levels to watch are the day’s high at $0.2147 and the intra-day support at $0.1946.  

If bulls take control and push Dogecoin through the day’s high at $0.2147, prices above $0.23 could be tested within the day. 

However, if bears take control and push Dogecoin through the intra-day support at $0.1946, the 78.6%

Fibonacci support at $0.1648 would come into focus. If broken, prices below

$0.160 could be hit in the day.  

On the other hand, if volumes drop, Dogecoin could trade between the day’s high of $0.2147 and intra-day support at $0.1946.

The 50.0% Fibonacci support proved to be quite strong, and Shiba Inu consolidated above it until the end of the day.
