Dogecoin Consolidates Amidst Prolonged Rally

Dogecoin (DOGE) maintained its consolidation phase this week, pausing after its recent parabolic surge. On Wednesday, November 20, DOGE traded at $0.3850, marginally below its year-to-date peak of $0.4387.

This consolidation mirrors that of Bitcoin (BTC), which has fluctuated between $90,000 and $94,000. Nevertheless, Dogecoin exhibits potential for an upward rebound in the coming weeks as investors monitor developments within the Trump administration.

On Tuesday, former president Trump nominated Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, as Commerce Secretary. Lutnick previously expressed support for cryptocurrencies, and his firm serves as a custodian for Tether. Additionally, Trump appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the newly established Department of Government Efficiency. Rumors also suggest that Trump Media may acquire the cryptocurrency company Bakkt.

A confluence of crypto-friendly policies, media attention, and low interest rates could propel Dogecoin higher in the near future. The coin continues to experience strong demand, with daily trading volume exceeding $14 billion, surpassing the combined volume of Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Bonk. Open interest in DOGE futures has also surged to $3.8 billion.

Crypto Analyst Anticipates Dogecoin Surge

Ali Charts, a renowned crypto analyst, predicts a significant upward trajectory for Dogecoin. He anticipates a potential 120% price increase, targeting $0.82.

On the daily chart, DOGE has maintained its position above a crucial resistance level at $0.2286, indicating potential for further gains. The coin trades well above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which recently formed a golden cross. Additionally, it has developed a bullish pennant pattern, signaling a continuation of the bullish trend.

A breakout above the pennant's upper boundary at $0.4387 would likely result in further upward momentum. However, a decline below the support level at $0.3412, the lowest point reached on November 17, would invalidate this bullish outlook.
