  • Dogecoin in the red as bears retain control in the broader market.
  • Shiba Inu bears but bulls fighting to regain control at the $0.00002533 monthly support level.
  • Solana bulls fighting to regain control after Thursday’s selloff.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin was range-bound for the better part of Thursday but turned bearish towards the end of the day. It closed the day lower by 7.2%.

Dogecoin started Tuesday trading range-bound between the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1675 and the intra-day support at $0.1615.

It oscillated between these two levels until midday when bulls attempted to take control and push Dogecoin through the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance.

The move was strongly rejected, and with the broader market turning bearish, Dogecoin breached the intra-day support at $0.1615.

What followed was a crash that saw Dogecoin test the 78.6% Fibonacci support at $0.1546 by the end of the day.

Dogecoin started Friday trading bearish, a continuation of the selloff that started on Thursday.

When going to press, Dogecoin bears were still in control, and the selloff was accelerating.

A glance at the day ahead

The key levels to watch are the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1546 and the day’s low of $0.1482.

If bulls take control and push Dogecoin through the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1546, the next key level to watch would be the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1675. If the 61.8% Fib

resistance is broken, prices above $0.175 could be tested in the day.

However, if bears take control and push Dogecoin through the day’s low of $0.1482, then prices below $0.135 could be seen in the day. 

On the other hand, if volumes drop, Dogecoin could trade between the 78.6% Fibonacci resistance at $0.1546 and the day’s low of $0.1482.
