Crypto analyst Justin Bennett says that Dogecoin (DOGE) could be ready to make a run for its next critical level about 37% above current prices.
The popular analyst tells his 88,000 Twitter followers that DOGE is attempting to break out of a long descending resistance line that it has been up against since May.
“DOGE looks ready (as long as $BTC cooperates).
Just needs to get above 0.27 on a daily closing basis to open up 0.34+.”
In the near term, Bennett says DOGE needs to turn the $0.26 level into support and close above $0.27 before continuing higher to his initial target of $0.34. At time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.26 according to CoinGecko.
Looking at Bitcoin, the analyst says BTC’s ability to maintain the $60,000 level is a major show of strength that could have big implications in the broader markets.
“Although the BTC weekly candle might not look great, it still held above $60k.
That’s what I was looking for. Doesn’t mean we can’t see more pullback before further upside, but it does mean $60k is holding as support on a weekly closing basis.
That’s huge.”
Bennett also has his eye on Bitcoin dominance, which compares BTC’s market cap to the rest of the crypto markets. He says it’s bounced off a support level and is currently on its way up.
“BTC.D is bouncing from 44.5% support.
Surprise, surprise.”
While surging Bitcoin dominance often suggests that altcoins will underperform, Bennett says this may only hold true in the short term. He says if the king crypto is looking healthy, then altcoins might take it as a signal to move up.
“This isn’t necessarily a bad thing for altcoins.
Will they suffer if BTC.D heats up again?
In the short term and against BTC, yes.
But Bitcoin strength now is massively bullish for alts over the next few months.
Fiat -> Bitcoin -> Altcoins”
