Dogecoin Breaks 20-Month Stagnation, Eyes Upside

Dogecoin, the leading meme-based digital currency, has recently surged past its critical 50, 100, and 200-week simple moving averages, marking the end of a lengthy 20-month period of stagnation at the lower echelons of a bear market. The ascension of the 50-week SMA above the 100-week SMA is indicative of a positive shift in momentum, reminiscent of the events of late 2020 when DOGE embarked on a significant rally in the initial months of 2021.

During a 20-month period languishing in a bear market’s grip, with its value oscillating between 5 and 15 cents, Dogecoin finally made a breakout from this range towards the end of the previous month. A parallel 20-month phase of bear market consolidation throughout the latter half of 2019 and into 2020 laid the groundwork for a massive surge in early 2021, culminating in a 3,600% increase to 37 cents by May 2021. At the time of writing, DOGE is priced at $0.18 on Gate.io.

Drawing from the 2019-2020 fractal as a reference, the path for DOGE appears to be inclined towards the upside. Examining the charts more closely reveals that DOGE’s upward trajectories are pronounced but tend to be short-lived, rarely extending beyond six months, whereas the subsequent downturn and the phase of bottoming out/consolidation usually span close to three years.

Another parallel with the 2020 scenario is the widespread anticipation that major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, are poised to reduce interest rates in the upcoming months. This prospect of further liquidity easing is promising for assets situated further along the risk spectrum. In 2020, central banks globally maintained rates at near-zero levels.

However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that historical data does not necessarily guarantee future outcomes, particularly with speculative cryptocurrencies like DOGE and other meme tokens. A possible bearish reversal in bitcoin, the bellwether of the cryptocurrency market, could have a domino effect, potentially pulling DOGE down with it.
