Dogecoin’s multi-month decline may be approaching a turning point, with market structure and momentum dynamics aligning for a sharp upside resolution, according to crypto analyst Cantonese Cat in a video analysis published on September 29. He argues that DOGE’s retracement has unfolded on dwindling participation—a setup that historically precedes outsized upside once even modest buy-side flows return. Dogecoin Coiling For An Upside Explosion “Having a hard time breaking above the 0.618 over here,” he says of Dogecoin’s primary Fibonacci retracement barrier on the higher-timeframe chart, while also noting that price remains pinned beneath the weekly Ichimoku cloud. Despite those headline resistances, he characterizes the tape as constructive: “It’s basically been breaking trendline after trendline.” In his reading, each successive downtrend break—occurring against a backdrop of fading volume—tilts the probabilities toward an eventual reversal impulse. “All this downtrend was on declining volume. So you know that all it takes is just a little bit of volume to reverse this downtrend,” he explains. “Whenever this trendline gets broken and some volume kicks in, you just end up going a lot higher.” Cantonese Cat frames the current phase as an inflection: “Same thing over here. You have a downtrend here on low volume and all it takes is just a little bit [of] volume here and this downtrend here can be reversed. And it certainly looks like it’s in the process of doing that right now as we speak.” In other words, even without a wholesale shift in market liquidity, incremental demand could be sufficient to flip momentum and squeeze price through nearby resistance. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breakout Fever: Is The 300% Moonshot Back? The analyst’s constructive stance rests on a confluence of technical factors rather than a single trigger. On DOGE, he highlights repeated trendline violations and methodical back-tests that held, which in his framework are precursors to impulsive continuation. He also points to the importance of establishing and maintaining support in the current zone: “I think it’s going to go a lot higher, especially once it’s able to find support here at this particular zone.” The immediate hurdles remain unchanged—namely the 0.618 retracement cap and the weekly Ichimoku cloud ceiling—but he suggests that price acceptance above these bands would confirm a regime shift from distribution to markup. Broader Market Context Is Supportive Context from the broader market reinforces his DOGE view. Cantonese Cat links Dogecoin’s setup to improving higher-timeframe conditions across crypto. He notes that Bitcoin reclaimed a key level after a brief scare around its 20-week moving average and closed back above a horizontal level on his daily Gann framework, tilting his near-term bias higher “as long as price is about 112,000.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Charts Textbook Cup And Handle: Macro Target Stuns At $2.31 Ethereum, he adds, has “basically broken through the 0.86… finally this cycle” and successfully back-tested the breakout, a formation he does not consider bearish. He further cites the OTHERS index—total crypto market cap ex-top-10—breaking above the weekly Ichimoku cloud and back-testing it, with the Tenkan rising. In his words, those signals “probably [are] going to push the cryptocurrency market cap higher,” while the recent sequence of candles hints at the potential for continuation: “Maybe a little bit of a rising three, maybe a little bit of a bullish engulfing candle next week to push things higher.” Taken together, the mosaic reads like a coiled spring for Dogecoin: a series of descending-trend breaks on thinning volume, sticky higher-timeframe resistance that has repeatedly absorbed tests, and a market-wide backdrop that is turning incrementally supportive. The catalyst, in Cantonese Cat’s view, may not require a dramatic shift in macro liquidity. “Just a little bit of volume” could be enough to force a violent repricing if sellers are depleted and momentum thresholds give way. He concludes with a conditional but confident stance: “I remain bullish until otherwise proven at support.” For Dogecoin, that translates to a simple playbook. Hold the current base, attract even modest incremental volume, and convert the 0.618 retracement and the weekly cloud from resistance into support. If that transition occurs, the analyst believes the next phase could unfold “in a hurry”—a characteristic that has defined DOGE’s historical rallies once technical lids finally blow off. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.233. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
