Golden Cross Breaks Bearish Cycle

The recent buying frenzy coincides with the recent formation of a Golden Cross between the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMA). This bullish signal marks the end of a five-month slow price period after March’s Death Cross.

Historically, such bullish crossovers often lead to extended rallies, as they reflect improving price structure. On the daily DOGE price chart, the RSI is currently suggesting a moderately bullish momentum without entering overbought territory.

This leaves room for further upside before hitting potential exhaustion levels. A decisive break above the $0.26 resistance could result in a rally to $0.30, with the next target near $0.32.

DOGE price is moving towards the upper Bollinger Band, indicating potential for a breakout if buying pressure continues.

Meanwhile, the MACD has recently crossed into positive territory, with the MACD line above the signal line, hinting at strong bullish momentum. However, the histogram’s small size suggests the move is still in its early stages.

In case the top meme coin fails to hold the $0.22 support zone, traders may see a retest of $0.20, where buyers will need to defend to maintain the bullish outlook.
