Dogecoin Price Dips Again

Dogecoin price is now trading below the $0.170 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $0.1650 level. The first major resistance for the bulls could be near the $0.1680 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.180 swing high to the $0.1555 low.

The next major resistance is located at the $0.1740 level. A strong close above the $0.1740 resistance might push the price toward the $0.180 resistance. Any further gains might send the price toward the $0.1880 level. The next major stop for the bulls could be $0.1950.
