Momentum Test: Can DOGE Dodge a Near-Term Correction?

• DOGE is holding around the $0.13 range. 
• The daily trading volume has surged by over 69%.

Both the bearish and bullish pressures hold the crypto market as of December 22. All major assets are attempting to trade on the recovery side. Meanwhile, the meme coin market cap is settled at $43.90 billion, after a modest loss. Over the last 24 hours, among the meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) has posted a 0.26% spike. 

The meme coin opened the day trading at a bottom range of $0.1289, and after the bulls took command, the price was pushed up to a high of $0.1331. Upon the brief bullish momentum gains more traction, the price action could initiate a rally to new highs. 

DOGE is currently trading at the $0.1322 level, with its market cap reaching $22.29 billion. Consequently, the daily trading volume of the meme coin has surged by over 69.98% to $878.54 million. The CoinGlass data shows that the market has seen a 24-hour liquidation of $2.42 million worth of DOGE. 

An analyst’s chart has revealed a TD Sequential buy signal on Dogecoin, suggesting that selling pressure may be exhausting and a short-term trend reversal or bounce could be forming. On the 3-day chart, the completed TD setup hints that bearish momentum is slowing.

Could DOGE be Setting Up for a Trend Change?

DOGE’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is found above the signal line, implying a bullish move. Also, the ongoing trend may continue to rise upward. Besides, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator of Dogecoin at 0.09 points out mild buying pressure. The capital is flowing into the asset, and the momentum is of weak-to-moderate conviction, not strong enough to confirm a solid uptrend.

Assuming the DOGE price holds above the $0.1332 resistance range, it might invite the golden cross to take place. With further upside correction, the bulls could likely send the meme coin to its recent high above $0.1340. On the flip side, the meme coin price could slip and find the nearby support at around $0.1312. ​If the bears are strong enough, the death cross might unfold and drive DOGE to bring in a retest below the $0.13 range. ​

Furthermore, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) reading of 0.00258 suggests a near-neutral momentum; the bulls and bears are almost evenly matched. Currently, there is no clear dominance from either side. DOGE’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54.42 indicates a neutral-to-slightly bullish momentum, neither overbought nor oversold. With a healthy consolidation, there is still room for movement in either direction.
