Dogecoin's Potential Breakout Amidst Market Choppiness

Dogecoin (DOGE) has garnered attention from analysts, including Daan Crypto Trades, for its notable resilience despite a prevailing weak and choppy broader cryptocurrency market. A key technical indicator suggests a potential 'range retake' for DOGE, which could propel its price towards a previous range high of approximately $0.218. This bullish scenario is contingent on DOGE successfully breaking and sustaining a position above the $0.18 mark.

According to the analysis, a reclaim of the lower boundary between $0.17 and $0.18 could pave the way for a 23.1% upward movement to the $0.21817 target. The trader pointed to a fascinating narrative circulating in US markets, suggesting that discussions around proposed stimulus or dividend checks could be re-igniting a 'muscle memory' among retail traders, reminiscent of the 2020-2021 'stimmy check' era when Dogecoin was one of the strongest performers.

Technically, DOGE is showing signs of forming a base, with two rounded swing lows visible after previously breaking below its established range. A confirmed closing strength above $0.18 would signal a shift where sellers lose control, bringing the upper boundary into clear focus. However, the analyst cautioned that this bullish outlook is not guaranteed and remains highly conditional. For DOGE to extend its relative strength and execute this move, the broader market, specifically Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), must 'hold the floor' and prevent a wider market breakdown. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.15943, underscoring the importance of these critical price levels and market conditions.
