Dogecoin Bullish Kumo Breakout, But Can DOGE Overcome The $0.23804 Barrier?

[Ben Graham]

Dogecoin flashes a bullish signal after crashing through the Kumo. However, with the $0.23 resistance in the spotlight, the question remains: Can DOGE clear this hurdle and rekindle its rally momentum?

Cloud Turns Support: Kumo Now Shields Bitcoin Price Action

In a recent analysis shared on X, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade provided an updated technical outlook on DOGE’s price action using the Ichimoku indicator. The analysis points to a significant development: a Kumo breakout, which has triggered a long trade signal for the cryptocurrency.

The analyst explained that this breakout is a crucial turning point, as the Kumo, or “Cloud,” which previously acted as resistance, is now a key support zone for Dogecoin. Trader Tardigrade also specified the key support and resistance levels for Dogecoin based on the Ichimoku chart. The new support zone is highlighted by the Kumo itself, with a range of $0.21517 to $0.22661. This area is now expected to hold the price during any potential pullbacks.

On the other hand, the immediate resistance is identified at $0.23804, which corresponds with the Ichimoku’s Kijun-sen line. A successful breakout above this level would confirm the bullish momentum and could lead to further gains for Dogecoin, according to the analysis.

Trend Analysis

Based on Trader Tardigrade’s analysis, the various components of the Ichimoku indicator present a mixed picture for Dogecoin’s trend, ultimately resulting in a neutral overall outlook. This complexity is revealed through a point-based system that scores the individual trend signals.

The first positive signal is the Kumo color, which is green, indicating a bullish bias. This is a key indicator within the Ichimoku system, as a green cloud signals that the faster-moving Senkou Span A is above the slower Senkou Span B, suggesting an upward momentum in the medium to long term.

However, the analysis also points to conflicting signals. While the mid-term trend is bullish, with the price remaining above the Kumo, the short-term trend is currently bearish, as the price is trading below the Kijun-sen. In the long term, the trend is also negative. This is indicated by the Chikou Span being below the current price. The Chikou Span, or lagging span, compares the current price to the price 26 periods ago. 

When it is below the current price, it suggests that the current momentum is weaker than the momentum from a month ago, indicating a potential long-term downtrend. With an overall score of zero after adding up the conflicting signals, the analysis concludes that Dogecoin is currently in a state of consolidation, without a clear directional bias at this time.
