Dogecoin is once again in the hot seat as the meme coin tests a multi-year trend line that dates back to the heady days of 2021. Both the daily and weekly charts underscore the significance of this zone, with the market hovering dangerously near a juncture that could determine whether the current price collapses by another quarter or stages a dramatic rebound.
Dogecoin Could Plunge Further
On the weekly chart, the trend line slants downward from the historically elevated levels near last cycle’s top and converges with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at around $0.167. Thus, Dogecoin finds itself on shaky ground as it slipped below the 0.786 Fibonacci level at $0.167 yet still clings to the multi-year trend line, which currently hovers around $0.157.
DOGE’s ability to stay above the line may decide whether the market can avoid a renewed sell-off that could erase a quarter of its current value. Notably, DOGE is already down about 66% from its December peak above $0.48 last year, revealing just how tightly the bulls need to hold the line to avoid another wave of selling pressure.
Zooming in on the daily time frame, the story becomes clearer. After Dogecoin dropped out of a downtrend channel on February 24, it made an attempt to fight its way back inside on March 2 and 3, only to be swiftly pushed below the channel floor again. Subsequent rejections on March 6 and March 26 along the lower boundary confirm that the bears have little intention of giving DOGE an easy path back above. This persistent refusal is accompanied by waning volume, indicating that buyers have had difficulty mustering the momentum required to reclaim a foothold inside the channel.
The weekly EMAs are spread above the price, notably with key lines sitting well above $0.16, while the daily EMAs have turned into near-term ceilings that Dogecoin has repeatedly failed to surmount in recent sessions.
Should DOGE fall below the multi-year trend line, it could test again the support zone just around $0.14 like on March 10 and 11—delineated in red on the chart. If DOGE fails to defend the trend line and slides below the $0.14 mark, the next major pivot comes at $0.12, symbolized by the prominent blue line. A retreat that far would amount to a further 25% drop from current price levels, potentially deepening bearish sentiment well into the second quarter.
All eyes are now locked on the interplay between price and the decades-long slope that has served as both a magnet and buffer across multiple market cycles. Should buyers step in firmly at the intersection of the multi-year line and the 0.786 Fibonacci level, the next challenge would be to recapture the lower boundary of the descending channel—something Dogecoin has failed to do despite repeated tests. On the other hand, a decisive break below $0.14 would raise the odds of a capitulation down to $0.12 or potentially lower.
For now, it appears Dogecoin’s fate hinges on whether this long standing structural support can weather the storm. If it does, the battered meme coin may yet script a comeback. If not, the market may face a freefall that rekindles memories of the most volatile chapters in its history.
