A notable analyst identifies a short-term bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern on the Dogecoin chart, presenting immediate breakout targets.

A notable analyst has identified a short-term bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern on the Dogecoin chart, presenting immediate breakout targets.

Dogecoin Faces Crucial Support

As reported earlier, the past few months have seen a troubling trend for Dogecoin. While it managed to close January with a 4.28% gain, February brought a 38.69% drop, followed by another 17.37% decline last month, March.

This persistent bearish pressure has seen the meme coin lose the pivotal $0.20 level, which is crucial for its anchor in a bullish recovery. Now, as Dogecoin battles the bears at $0.17, the asset could be at risk of steeper declines. However, analyst MadWhale confirmed last month that Dogecoin might be forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which could help it recover.

Dogecoin Forms Inverse H&S Pattern

According to the analyst, the meme coin has already formed an inverse head and shoulders structure on the 4-hour chart. For those unfamiliar, the inverse head and shoulders pattern is a bullish structure with a steeper low (the head) in between higher lows (the shoulders). The neckline of the pattern connects the highs between the shoulders, and a breakout is confirmed when prices break above this neckline.

For Dogecoin, Trader Tardigrade’s chart indicates that the left shoulder formed when the meme coin dropped to $0.1658 on March 29. Further, it created the head during the drop to $0.1601 on March 31. Now, the right shoulder has formed with the recent slump to $0.1777 today.

The neckline of this pattern rests on the $0.1760 level. For Dogecoin to confirm the structure, it must break above this region, surpassing the neckline. Notably, the inverse head and shoulders structure typically forms during a downtrend and could signal a potential reversal to the upside.

DOGE Recovery to $2?

If this breakout occurs, a run to the $0.20 price mark could ensue in the short term. While this represents a meager 15% increase from the current price of $0.1734, reclaiming $0.20 would be the first step to a broader DOGE rally.

In previous cases, several analysts suggested that as long as the meme coin holds above the $0.2 psychological support, its structure remains in bullish territories and a broader recovery could be in the works. However, Dogecoin gave up this support in early March, collapsing to a new yearly low of $0.1429 on March 11. Despite a recovery from this floor, the $0.20 has proven difficult to reclaim since then.

Last month, analyst Ali Martinez suggested that DOGE could rally to $2 despite the prevalent bearishness.
