Dogecoin Tests Critical 200-Day Averages as Bulls Defend $0.20–$0.22 Zone

• Dogecoin is retesting the 200-day EMA and SMA zone between $0.20 and $0.22, a critical area for trend continuation.
  
• The pullback from $0.30 came with declining volume, suggesting profit-taking, while buyers remain active near long-term moving average supports.
  
• A breakout above $0.30 may open upside targets at $0.40 and $0.45, while losing support risks a fall toward $0.142.

Dogecoin is currently testing a decisive support cluster after retracing from recent highs. The asset’s next move could shape its medium-term direction.

Critical Technical Zone Around Long-Term Averages

Dogecoin has pulled back from $0.30 and is near $0.22, just above the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), and slightly above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $0.20, creating a confluence support zone with $0.20 near the support area of $0.22. This zone represents Dogecoin’s make-or-break level for trend continuation.

Market analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted on X that Dogecoin reflects the broader market behavior. According to him, many cryptocurrencies have moved higher since April, but progress has been slow and uneven. In this context, Dogecoin has managed to maintain an upward structure with higher highs and higher lows, though sustained support remains essential.

The confluence of these long-term averages adds weight to the current range. If this zone holds, the uptrend structure established since June remains valid, keeping the bullish case intact.

Market Structure and Volume Dynamics

Dogecoin has been trending higher since June, with the decisive move above the 200EMA in August marking a shift in momentum. The latest correction is being viewed as a retest of this breakout, a common technical development in advancing markets.

Volume patterns further suggest controlled selling rather than broad distribution. The decline from $0.30 occurred on falling volume, pointing more to profit-taking than heavy liquidation. Buyers have previously shown interest in this price area, making it a critical battleground for bulls.

Failure to maintain levels above the 200-day moving averages, however, would shift control back to sellers. Such a breakdown could open the path toward $0.142, Dogecoin’s prior base support.

Resistance Levels and Potential Upside

The first level of resistance is located at $0.26, then $0.30 - representing the recent high. If there is a confirmed break above $0.30 with volume, that could enable a move toward $0.40 and even, $0.45, at which points we can see past resistance clustering in historical price action.

Daan Crypto Trades emphasized that Dogecoin is forming a base structure through gradual higher lows.Despite this, he advised that the uptrend must be kept and new lower lows would invalidate the set up. 

At this point, Doge coin is at an inflection point. The defense of the $0.20–$0.22 cluster by buyers could maintain bullish momentum, while a breach would risk a deeper correction.
