Dogecoin Faces Key Resistance While Analysts Map Out Wave Patterns

The popular memecoin pulled back during the Thanksgiving holiday as trading volume cratered, with technical analysts identifying crucial price levels and wave patterns that could determine where it heads next.

Memecoin Meets Market Reality

Dogecoin (DOGE) had a quiet Thanksgiving, and not in a good way. The dog-themed memecoin slipped over 2% while trading volume collapsed by 38% to $918 million. That's a steeper decline than what market heavyweights Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) experienced, which fell just 0.40% and 1.39%, respectively.

When the holiday shopping frenzy hits, apparently crypto traders take a break too.

Where the Price Might Hit a Wall

Ali Martinez, a widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader, has been watching the charts closely. He identified $0.20 as the "main resistance" for Dogecoin, while $0.080 serves as a key support level. Translation: the token needs to break through twenty cents to really get moving again, and if it falls below eight cents, things could get interesting in the wrong direction.

Wave Theory Suggests Patience Required

Another technical analyst, EtherNasyonaL, who has a sizeable following on X, is applying Elliott Wave theory to understand what's happening. "Structure hasn't confirmed a clear breakout yet, keeping the price moving inside a consolidation zone awaiting completion of this wave," the analyst stated. "Breakout that follows will define the strength and direction of the next major trend."

For the uninitiated, Elliott Wave Theory interprets price movements through recurrent fractal wave patterns. Traders use these patterns to forecast future market movements and identify potential entry and exit points. Right now, Dogecoin appears stuck in what's called a consolidation phase, essentially treading water until something tips the scales one way or another.

Wall Street Gets Its Dogecoin Fix

Despite the Thanksgiving lull, this week marked a milestone for the memecoin. Two spot exchange-traded funds launched on Wall Street: the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) and the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (BWOW).

Combined, the two ETFs have attracted $2.16 million in net inflows so far, with $3.23 million in total volumes processed, according to data from SoSo Value. Not exactly earth-shattering numbers, but it's early days for bringing a joke currency to traditional finance.

At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.1506, down 2.23% in the last 24 hours. The Grayscale ETF closed 1.60% higher at $18.29 during Wednesday's regular trading session, while the Bitwise DOGE ETF closed at $25.51, up 3.1%.
