Dogecoin (DOGE) Shows That Dogs Can Run With Bulls
BeInCrypto | Dec 19, 2018 01:51AM ET
Dogecoin (DOGE) is a peer-to-peer digital currency, created mainly as a joke, but still has a functioning blockchain and a native digital wallet.
The digital coin, sporting a comedic looking Shiba Inu dog mascot, was created as a spin-off of Bitcoin (BTC), similar to the creation of Litecoin (LTC).
DOGE has been around since the end of 2013, making it a true veteran in the cryptocurrency space. In that time, the close-knit Dogecoin community has really stuck by DOGE and have worked hard to keep the currency functioning and relevant.
At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.0026 per coin and is ranked 20th with a total market cap of just over $300 million.
Taking a look at the stochastic relative strength index (RSI), DOGE is far into the oversold territory, and just recently bounced off of the zero mark (red line).
Hitting the bottom of the RSI after falling straight from the top will most likely cause a bounce to the mid-to-high range between 50 and 80.
DOGE has historically gone through cycles of violent and rapid spikes to the upside before hitting a wall and falling directly back.
On the weekly DOGE/BTC chart below, heavy resistance can be seen at the 0.000001 BTC level. On five instances in DOGE’s history, DOGE/BTC briefly pierced or closed at least one weekly candle above this line. Considering the oversold RSI indicator and DOGE’s position on the chart, it seems as though another run to 0.000001 BTC is in the cards for Dogecoin.
If the pattern continues, expect to see another DOGE sell-off, beginning between the 0.0000008 BTC and 0.0000011 BTC range.
