Dogecoin Surges 10% to $0.160, Faces Resistance at $0.1680

Dogecoin (DOGE) has recently shown signs of recovery, with its price surging above the $0.160 mark against the US Dollar. This upward trend has been driven by bullish momentum, which has pushed the cryptocurrency above key resistance levels at $0.1520 and $0.160. The price is currently consolidating above the $0.1620 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average, indicating a potential for further gains.

However, the recovery has faced resistance at the $0.1680 level, which has prevented DOGE from achieving a sustained breakout. The price has formed a high at $0.1699 and is now consolidating gains above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1572 swing low to the $0.1699 high. This consolidation suggests that the bulls are struggling to maintain momentum above the $0.1680 resistance level.

If DOGE's price fails to climb above the $0.1680 level, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.1660 level or the trend line zone. The next major support is near the $0.1620 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1572 swing low to the $0.1699 high. The main support sits at $0.160. If there is a downside break below the $0.160 support, the price could decline further, potentially falling toward the $0.150 level or even $0.1450 in the near term.

Technical indicators suggest that the MACD for DOGE/USD is now losing momentum in the bullish zone, while the RSI for DOGE/USD is now above the 50 level. Major support levels are at $0.1650 and $0.1620, while major resistance levels are at $0.1680 and $0.1800. If DOGE can break above the $0.1680 resistance, it could potentially climb toward the $0.1720 and $0.1750 levels, with further gains potentially sending the price toward the $0.180 and $0.200 levels. However, if the price fails to break above the $0.1680 resistance, it could face another decline, potentially falling toward the $0.150 or $0.1450 levels.
