  • Dogecoin is range-bound with no clear signs of a major breakout soon.
  • Shiba Inu is stuck in a range for the second day in a row.
  • Solana is yet to find a clear direction as range-bound trading continues.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin was range-bound for the better part of Wednesday. By the end of the day, it was trading pretty much where it had started.

Dogecoin started Wednesday trading bullish but quickly hit strong resistance at $0.1674 on the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance.

Bulls could not push Dogecoin through this resistance, but bears were not that strong either. What followed was range-bound trading just below the 61.8% Fibonacci until daybreak.

It is at this point that bears attempted to take control. However, they too didn’t have much momentum, and just an hour later, bears hit strong intra-day support at $0.1615.

A bounce off this support followed that saw Dogecoin retest the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance by early afternoon.

However, bulls didn’t have momentum either, and Dogecoin bears took back control, pushing Dogecoin back to the intra-day support just three hours to the end of the day. That’s when bears lost control, and Dogecoin traded along the intra-day support until the end of the day.

Dogecoin started Thursday trading with a bounce off the intra-day support and gained all morning, albeit with low volumes.

Dogecoin bulls were still in control when going to press, but Dogecoin had yet to retest the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1674.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch are the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1674 and the intra-day support at $0.1615.

If bulls take control and push Dogecoin through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1674, 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 $0.185 could be seen in the day.

However, if bears take control and push Dogecoin through the intra-day support at $0.1615, prices below $0.157 could be tested in the day. 

On the other hand, if volumes drop, Dogecoin could trade between the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1674 and the intra-day support at $0.1615.
