Bitcoin Price Drop Affects DOGE and Other Altcoins

Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Predictions Amidst Bitcoin Price Drop

In the midst of Bitcoin's price volatility, DOGE and other altcoins have also experienced a downward trend. But for how long?

While BTC battles to reclaim the $66,000 mark, uncertainty lingers over its ability to sustain the momentum. At the time of writing, BTC stands at $66,228, with some altcoins showing signs of recovery.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

DOGE, the largest meme coin by market cap, has hit its lowest price point in three months. The altcoin, which reached lows of $0.12, was impacted by the swift decline in BTC's price. Given the lack of strong investor activity in altcoins, the losses were exacerbated by the rapid exit of fearful investors.

The sharp price drop triggered liquidations of long positions exceeding $44 million in Dogecoin alone. It marked the largest DOGE liquidation since the start of the year. This figure, indicative of a clear surprise by futures traders, dampened bullish sentiment. Funding on futures remains negative for DOGE, suggesting persistent short positions.

DOGE Price Prediction

Falling below the 20-day EMA and 50-day SMA, DOGE price has lost significant support levels. Notably, the price below the SMA50 confirms an oversold situation, a relatively rare occurrence. During a general market uptrend, such dips are often seen as buying opportunities by experienced investors. However, these decisions should be made with reference to historical data and an acknowledgment of the potential for further losses.

DOGE's Elder-Ray Index suggests a continuation of the bearish trend in the short term. The negative value of the index corroborates the dominance of sellers. If bears maintain their strength, we can expect the price to fall to $0.11 and eventually $0.08.

However, things could change if BTC registers closes above $66,250 and sustains momentum, potentially boosting sentiment in altcoins. We could see more investors capitalizing on the oversold conditions in altcoins. This could pave the way towards new highs between $0.13 and $0.18.
