Dogecoin Faces Bearish Breakout as Falling Wedge Tightens

Dogecoin Signals Bearish Trend Despite Institutional Interest

Dogecoin price is trading within a falling wedge pattern, historically known for signalling bullish reversals upon breakout. The pattern that formed between August and early September is compressing tightl, which means a move is coming soon.

In May, DogeCoin made a similar wedge that drove a +154% rally from $0.13 to $0.33. This historical shift provides traders with a reference point, but current market conditions may vary due to broader sentiment shifts.

Currently, Dogecoin price is trading between $0.21 and $0.22, just below a major resistance level near $0.23. A breakout confirmed above this level could drive prices towards $0.25, $0.27 and $0.30, in line with wedge-based targets.

On the downside, there's still immediate support between $0.19 and $0.20, where buyers have intervened in the past. A breakdown of this zone could negate the bullish wedge pattern and open the way for further losses.

Bearish Ichimoku Signals Undermine Short-Term Dogecoin Price Outlook

The Ichimoku Cloud on the daily chart depicts a bearish breakout below the Kumo at the September 1 close. This trend shows that there is strong selling pressure, and it is likely that DOGE price will continue to be under pressure without a reversal.

A weak bearish Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen cross was made on 31st August, strengthening a downwards movement. In addition, a bearish price and Kijun-sen cross occurred on August 29, which further added to the negative bias.

While we saw the potential for a bullish reversal earlier in July (a bullish Chikou Span cross and a Kumo twist), they have been overpowered by recent bearish developments. The current price below the Kumo and below the Kijun-sen confirms a short-term and mid-term bearish trend.

Resistance levels are seen within the Kumo at $0.21517 to $0.22416, and a stronger barrier is seen from the Kijun-sen at $0.22476. 

The Kumo color is still green, which means it's still trending more bullish for the longer term, but the trend score is still neutral. This mixed reading suggests that the market is in consolidation and tilted towards the downside.

Institutional Interest Rises Despite Weak Near-Term Price Action

On Tuesday, CleanCore Solutions raised $175 million in a private placement to build a Dogecoin-based digital asset treasury. The move reflects growing institutional interest in DOGE as a treasury asset.

More than 80 investors, including Pantera Capital, GSR, FalconX, joined the funding round. The money will be invested in buying DOGE and maintaining the operation of the company.

The project is supported by the Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge, reflecting a wider support for Dogecoin's role in corporate finance. There were also some key leadership changes, with Alex Spiro being appointed chairman and Timothy Stebbing joining the board.

Despite the announcement, the memecoin price kept on bleeding, with a daily loss of 0.67% and a weekly drawdown of 2.58%. This means that while institutional actions can create long-term potential, they may not have an immediate effect on price movements.

In addition to long-term data, we have short-term data indicating a 0.91% decline in the past hour, with continued intraday weakness. On the other hand, CleanCore stock plummeted by 60% after the announcement, which indicates market scepticism about the strategy.

While the company's decision represents a step towards legitimising the meme coin for payments and tokenisation, traders still remain wary. Until Dogecoin price breaks out of the resistance at $0.225 with volume, short-term sentiment is likely to remain bearish.
