Dogecoin price has closely followed Bitcoin in the recent past ahead of the much-anticipated altseason.
The unwavering support of DOGE by tech billionaire Elon Musk has helped the dog-themed memecoin remain relevant.
Dogecoin , the oldest and leading meme coin by market capitalization, has been trapped in a correction mode since hitting a local high of about 48 cents in early December 2024. The large-cap meme coin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $39 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of around $1.59 billion, is in the final phase of an ABC correction following the notable crypto selloff earlier this month.
Dogecoin Price Flashes Bullish Sentiment
From a technical analysis standpoint, DOGE price has been following in the same footsteps as Bitcoin since the re-election and inauguration of . Furthermore, Dogecoin price action is heavily influenced by , a tech billionaire who is actively involved in the Trump administration through the D.O.G.E program.
With Bitcoin price showing early signs of a bullish breakout towards a new all-time high, it is safe to assume that DOGE price will follow next. In the daily time frame, the DOGE price has been retesting the lower border of a bullish pennant during the past five days.
Already, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) for DOGE/USD has been hovering in the oversold levels. With the 200-day Moving Average (MA) acting as a robust support level, Dogecoin price is well positioned to rally toward the upper border of the pennant formation in the coming days.
The short-term bullish sentiment for Dogecoin price will, however, be invalidated if the top-tier meme coin consistently closes below the support level around $0.2277. Moreover, the weekly RSI will slip below the 50% level and trigger heightened liquidations.
