Dogecoin is attempting to stabilize after a sharp shakeout, and one technician argues the market just telegraphed its line in the sand. In a weekly chart shared on X, independent analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) highlights a “solid bounce” from the weekly 200-EMA and a swift move back into the year’s dominant trading range. At press time on the chart, price sits near $0.1828, with the blue 200-week moving average rising just beneath the market around the $0.16 handle. Is This The Local Dogecoin Bottom? Kevin’s framework is straightforward and level-driven. He points to $0.202 as the immediate pivot on a three-day closing basis. Reclaiming $0.202, he says, would put DOGE back above the macro 0.5 Fibonacci retracement and simultaneously back over the 3D 200 EMA/SMA, creating the conditions for “upward momentum” if Bitcoin also holds its own above $106,800. The weekly 200 EMA has preserved Dogecoin’s bullish structure six separate times since last summer. It’s still rising and, for now, remains the bulls’ final line of defense. Above that, the primary framework is a tight, upward-tilting channel bounded by two yellow rails, with multiple circled touches validating both support and resistance along the way.Price printed a long downside wick into the lower rail, then bounced, effectively defending the channel and the 200-week average in the $0.16 area.

These coincide with prior weekly turning points marked on the chart, as well as repeated taps of the rising upper trendline during the summer and early autumn. Below, the chart calls out a sequence of backstops that matter if the bounce fades. The green horizontal sits around $0.14, with deeper weekly shelves marked at $0.09 and $0.05. That ladder of support is reinforced by remnants of an older, broader down-sloping trendline whose underside now tracks just under the recent wick; those legacy trendlines are still drawn and intersect beneath current price, explaining the aggressive bid that appeared on the weekly flush. The upside roadmap remains equally explicit. A sustained reclaim of $0.202 on three-day closes is the trigger Kevin is watching; above that, the market confronts layered supply across $0.21–$0.24, then the more consequential range highs into $0.285 and $0.305.

In short, the weekly bounce off the 200-EMA (~$0.16) kept DOGE inside its year-long channel and preserved a constructive pattern of higher lows. Whether that bounce evolves into trend continuation now hinges on the $0.202 reclaim on the three-day chart—Kevin’s chosen confirmation level—and, in his view, on Bitcoin maintaining strength above $106,800. Until then, DOGE remains range-bound, with buyers defending the lower trend line and sellers repeatedly prevailing at the upper trend line. Via X, Kevin wrote: “Solid bounce for Dogecoin off of the weekly 200 ema back into our weekly range that we have traded in for most of the year. Along with BTC reclaiming 106.8K you want to see DOGE reclaim the .202 level on 3D closes which would get you above the macro 0.5 Fib and the 3D 200 ema/sma. For BTC and Doge that could create some upward momentum if done.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.17678. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
