As <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cantonmeow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the analyst put it<\/a>: \u201cDOGE daily shows a clear trend change that is easy to see when you see how it was riding on the lower half of the Bollinger band for months but now has a clear change in character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That \u201ccharacter\u201d is visible in the band mechanics. DOGE closed around $0.1405 on the print shown, now trading above the 20-day basis line near $0.1348 after spending much of the prior stretch leaning into the lower half of the envelope. The upper band is near $0.1564 and the lower band near $0.1132.<\/p>\n<p>In the analyst\u2019s framing, the basis line becomes the near-term \u201cline in the sand\u201d for whether this is a genuine trend flip or simply a volatility expansion that fades. Holding above it keeps price in the upper half of the bands, where trends typically behave differently than they do during lower-band rides.<\/p>\n<h2>Weekly And Monthly Chart Support The Thesis<\/h2>\n<p>Zooming out, Cantonese Cat\u2019s weekly chart (Dec. 20) casts the broader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/dogecoin\/dogecoin-mirrors-amd-setup-from-last-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">structure as an Elliott-style sequence<\/a>: a completed Wave 1 advance followed by a Wave 2 correction. The analyst wrote: \u201cWe\u2019ve already had a 13 month bear market for DOGE, with my working hypothesis of this being likely a wave 2 correction prior to wave 3 explosion. The entire reason why this may play out is that it doesn\u2019t feel likely right now, and you want me to stop posting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The levels on the chart are explicit. DOGE is sitting between the 0.382 retracement near $0.1177 and the 0.5 level near $0.1542, with higher retracement markers at roughly $0.2021 (0.618), $0.2477 (0.707), $0.2968 (0.786), and $0.3732 (0.886).<\/p>\n<p>Above that, the 1.0 level is labeled near $0.4844, with extensions reaching approximately $0.9029 (1.272), $1.2497 (1.414), $1.9934 (1.618), $4.7793 (2.0), and $8.9077 (2.272), the latter aligning with the analyst\u2019s repeatedly cited \u201c$9 region\u201d target for this cycle.<\/p>\n<p>On Jan. 9, Cantonese Cat paired DOGE\u2019s monthly chart <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/dogecoin\/is-the-dogecoin-bull-run-over-doge-rallies-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)<\/a>, arguing a recurring bull-phase rhythm: \u201cDOGE has always been about 2-4 months behind IWM during the bull phase.\u201d<br \/>\nThe comparison highlights prior instances where IWM\u2019s breakout behavior preceded DOGE\u2019s major upside phases, implying DOGE\u2019s current improvement could be read as a delayed echo if the template holds.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the near-term question is whether DOGE can keep closing above the daily Bollinger basis (~$0.1348) and avoid slipping back into the lower-half posture that defined the prior months. On the upside, a break above the upper band region (~$0.1564) and the 0.5 Fib ($0.1542) is crucial for further upside.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, DOGE traded at $0.13674.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dogecoin price is currently up by approximately 17% since the December 31 low and the rebound is starting to look less like a dead-cat bounce and more like a regime change, according to crypto analyst Cantonese Cat, who points to a clear shift in how DOGE is trading inside its Bollinger Bands on the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":126519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discovery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126518"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=126518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/126519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=126518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=126518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mycryptomania.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=126518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
