Dogecoin’s Price Movement Draws Similarities to 2021

Crypto wisdom reminds us that the accumulation phase among whales tends to kick in when the market sentiment is strongly positive, as amassing a cryptocurrency in a self-custodial wallet signifies belief in the related crypto. Certainly, the nearest key level to watch is $0.10, as it depicts a historically judicious psychological level.

This has been further noted by several cryptocurrency analysts, drawing historical parallels between the latest Dogecoin price movement and the tremendous voyage to the all-time high of $0.73, recorded in May 2021.

The similar traits in Dogecoin’s technical setup were spotted by Ali Martinez, who explained that DOGE is breaking out of a long-term descending triangle similar to that of 2020, before DOGE embarked on the monumental 28,770% bull run.

On the Flipside

  • Given that Dogecoin (DOGE) is mimicking the rally to $0.73 in May 2021, it’s noteworthy that DOGE is still 86.5% down from the all-time high. 
  • While this hints at growth potential in a bullish scenario, the key support level at $0.085 could be decisive in realizing this potential.

Why This Matters

Dogecoin is the leading meme currency and the second largest Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain, aside from Bitcoin (BTC).
