Dogecoin Price Falls Over 21% in a Month, Despite Elon Musk's Tweet
The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has plummeted more than 21% in the past month, continuing its downward trend after a slight drop in the past 24 hours. At 11:40 p.m. EST, DOGE was trading at $0.1038.
During the past day of trading, the DOGE price fell to an intraday low of $1.1014 before recovering to its current level, which is closer to its 24-hour high of $1.1056 than its low.
Despite a recent Tweet by SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk, the price of DOGE has continued to decline over the past 24 hours. In response to reports that former President Donald Trump would consider offering him a cabinet post if elected in November, Musk tweeted, "I am willing to serve."
In the past, Musk's DOGE-related posts have had a positive impact on the meme coin's price. However, his influence on DOGE appears to be waning as the meme coin continues to trade in the red.
Dogecoin Price Unable to Escape Consolidation
Technical analysis suggests that the Dogecoin price is currently trapped in a consolidation channel between a resistance level at $0.1074 and an immediate support level at $0.0949. DOGE has traded within this range for the past several days.
If sellers decide to sell their holdings in DOGE, the crypto could soon test the $0.0949 technical safety net. A drop below this mark might then lead to the Dogecoin price falling to as low as $0.0844 in the short term.
On the other hand, if the Dogecoin price manages to overcome the $0.1074 barrier within the next 24-48 hours, it could invalidate the bearish thesis. A 4-hour candle close above $0.1074 might then be seen as a long entry opportunity by traders, potentially pushing DOGE to the next major resistance level at $0.1210.
Dogecoin Price Losing Its Technical Strength
Technical indicators on DOGE's 4-hour chart suggest that the meme coin's price might drop in the next 14 hours. Both the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) show signs of diminishing buyer strength, which could open up an opportunity for sellers to gain control.
Throughout the past trading session, RSI readings have dropped from 62 to 54, indicating less pressure from bulls on the price. Although the RSI remains above the 50 benchmark, signaling that buyers still have the upper hand, it is now much easier for sellers to gain control of DOGE should they choose to do so.
Meanwhile, the MACD line has collapsed on the MACD Signal line over the past 24 hours, suggesting that DOGE's bullish trend is reaching its end. An intersection between these two lines in the coming couple of days will indicate that the Dogecoin price has entered a new bearish trend.
