A doji formed around 0.1379, indicating indecision at higher levels.
Volatility and Momentum
Bollinger Bands on the 5-minute chart expanded significantly during the last 4 hours, suggesting a rise in volatility. The RSI indicator moved into overbought territory above 60, particularly around 16:00–17:00 ET, signaling the potential for near-term profit-taking or a pullback. MACD showed a positive divergence during the 15:00–16:00 ET window, supporting the continuation of the upward move.

Volume surged to over 35.9 million DOGE at 16:00 ET, coinciding with the highest price of 0.14003. Notional turnover spiked to $5.005 million during this period, indicating strong confirmation of the breakout attempt. However, volume dipped afterward, suggesting a possible exhaustion of bullish momentum.
Trend and Moving Averages
On the 5-minute chart, the 20- and 50-period moving averages remained in close proximity, reflecting a sideways trend. The 50-period MA acted as a dynamic support near 0.1371, with price testing it multiple times. Daily moving averages showed no clear divergence, with the 50- and 100-period MAs in a tight alignment.
Fibonacci and Key Levels
A key 5-minute swing from 0.1362 to 0.14003 saw a retest of the 61.8% retracement level at around 0.1387. Price action failed to hold above that level and retreated slightly. The 38.2% retracement at 0.1390 may act as a near-term target if buyers regain control.
Looking ahead, the next 24 hours may see DOGEUSDT test the 0.1387–0.1390 area, with a potential pullback to the 0.1371–0.1376 range if momentum weakens.
