Dogecoin price encounters resistance
Dogecoin price started a recovery wave from the $0.0950 zone, beating Bitcoin and Ethereum. DOGE climbed above the $0.10 and $0.1050 resistance levels.
There was quite a bit of upside above the 23.6% Fib retracement level from the downward move from the $0.1185 swing high to the $0.0948 low. Moreover, there was a break above a bearish trendline with resistance at $0.1060 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair.
However, the bears are active near the $0.1065 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.1185 swing high to the $0.0948 low. The Dogecoin price is now trading below the $0.1065 level and the 100-hourly moving average.
