DOGE Price Action

At the time of writing, DOGE was up by 0.29% to $0.1729.

Elon Musk gives the bulls a look at $0.20 levels.

Technical Indicators

DOGE will need to avoid the day’s $0.1664 pivot to make a run on the First Major Resistance Level at $0.1856. DOGE would need the broader crypto market to support a move to $0.18 levels.

An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.1987 and resistance at $0.20. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.2310.

A fall through the pivot would test the First Major Support Level at $0.1533. Barring an extended sell-off, DOGE should steer clear of sub-$0.1500 levels. The Second Major Support Level sits at $0.1341.

A move through to $0.18 levels would support another breakout.

Looking at the EMAs and the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below), it is a bullish signal. DOGE sits above the 50-day EMA, currently at $0.1467. This morning, 50-day EMA pulled away from the 100-day EMA. The 100-day EMA pulled away from the 200-day EMA after last week’s bullish cross; DOGE positive.

Holding above the 50-day EMA would support a move back through to $0.20.

Holding above the 50-day EMA remains key near-term.

SHIB Price Action

At the time of writing, SHIB was down by 0.07% to $0.00002673.

Technical Indicators

SHIB will need to move through the day’s $0.0000271 pivot to make a run on the First Major Resistance Level at $0.0000281. SHIB would need the broader crypto market to break back to $0.000028 levels.

An extended rally would test the Second Major Resistance Level at $0.0000294 and resistance at $0.000030. The Third Major Resistance Level sits at $0.0000316.

Failure to move through the pivot would bring the First Major Support Level at $0.0000258 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, SHIB should steer clear of sub-$0.0000255 levels. The Second Major Support Level sits at $0.0000249.

Looking at the EMAs and the 4-hourly candlestick chart (below), it is a bullish signal. SHIB sits above the 50-day EMA at $0.0000264. This morning, the 50-day EMA widened from the 100-day EMA. The 100-day EMA pulled away from the 200-day EMA after last week’s bullish cross.

Holding above the 50-day EMA would bring $0.000030 levels into play.
