After six failed attempts, DOGE has returned to retest the $0.109 to $0.124 weekly support zone.

Such a move 30 percent towards the $0.078 level where buyers can step in. It could trigger a pullback. This move will invalidate the ascending thesis of the descending wedge. Worse, a break of $0.048 on a weekly timeframe could be a crucial point. This move could trigger a further 70 percent drop due to the fair value gap stretching from $0.041 to $0.014. A weekly candlestick above $0.159 on the Dogecoin chart confirms a bullish breakout. This development will also invalidate the bearish thesis and trigger a move that retests $0.217.
