Dogecoin

Dogecoin was directionless for the better part of Tuesday. By the end of the day, it was down by 2.5%.

Dogecoin started Tuesday trading bearish, after bulls lost momentum in late Monday trading.  Bears were in control for most of the morning, but just before daybreak, DOGE hit strong support at $0.1673 on the 61.8% Fibonacci support. This resistance proved to be quite strong, and Dogecoin bounced off it at daybreak.

However, bulls were not that strong either, and in just two hours, they had lost momentum. What followed was a correction that saw Dogecoin ease through the 61.8% Fibonacci support at $0.1673.  Bears were in control until early afternoon when Dogecoin hit multi-week support at $0.1617.

Without much support from the broader market, Dogecoin bears could not push through the multi-week support. What followed was range-bound trading that lasted until the early evening.

It is at this point that the bulls attempted to retake control. However, volumes were low, and two hours towards the end of the day, Dogecoin hit strong resistance at $0.1673 on the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance.

Dogecoin started Wednesday trading bearish after bulls lost momentum at the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance in the last few hours of Tuesday trading.

However, two hours into the day bears lost momentum, and a bullish reversal followed. The 61.8% Fibonacci resistance proved too strong for bulls, though, and Dogecoin traded just below the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance for the better part of the morning.

When going to press, bears were starting to take control and had pushed DOGE back to the multi-week support at $0.1617.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch are the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1673 and the multi-week support at $0.1617.

If bulls take control and push Dogecoin through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1673, the next key level to watch would be the 50.0% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1764. If the 50.0% Fib resistance is broken, prices above $0.19 could be tested in the day.

However, if bears take control and push Dogecoin through the multi-week support at $0.1617, prices below $0.155 could be tested in the day. 

On the other hand, if volumes drop, Dogecoin could trade between the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1673 and the multi-week support at $0.1617.
