Dogecoin was one of the best performing currencies in November, with its gains accelerating after President-elect Donald Trump won the U.S. election. Over the past 30 days, Dogecoin has risen 229%.

The memecoin’s market structure has seen a significant shift at $0.37, which was previously seen in October 2021. If DOGE repeats its historical pattern, its price cap could be much higher after a significant shift in the short term.
DOGE presents a “classic” inverted head and shoulders pattern
Veteran trader Peter Brandt has frequently analyzed Doge’s price action over the past few weeks. In a recent X post, the trader claimed that DOGE exhibits “excellent charting markets that follow classic charting principles.”

Brandt explained that Dogecoin also exhibited a similar sideways accumulation range in 2020 before forming an inverted head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. In 2024, Dogecoin’s weekly chart also followed the same path and a bullish breakout from the current inverted H&S pattern led to a 190% increase in its price.

Meanwhile, economist and cryptocurrency trader Mikybull continues to explore the potential “meaning” of the golden cross prevailing on Dogecoin’s weekly chart. Although Dogecoin has gained nearly 7,000% in 2021, based on the law of diminishing returns, traders expect the memecoin’s market peak to be around $3 to $4, or 1,136%.
Dogecoin has retested $0.39
On December 12, the price of Dogecoin reached a high of $0.44 but immediately saw a 22% correction to $0.34 on the next four-hour chart. Since then, the memecoin’s momentum has slowed down, fluctuating between $0.44 and $0.34.
However, after Donald Trump officially announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would head the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) (the department shares the same acronym as memecoin), the market expected a bullish reaction.
Jacob Canfield, a cryptocurrency trader, believes the lack of reaction could “signal a period of broader selling.”
From a technical perspective, the immediate area of interest for Dogecoin is between $0.30 and $0.326 (green box), where a fair value gap (FVG) has formed on the 1-day chart.

Below the $0.30 level, an order block has emerged between $0.272 and $0.297 (yellow box) on the 4-hour chart. This order block is converging with the 50-day moving average level, which could provide additional support for price recovery.
