A monthly chart of Dogecoin shows a brutal pattern of repeated rejections and cascading drops that looks grim at first glance. Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade laid out a decade-long structure in which the Dogecoin price has been hammered at critical resistance three separate times, triggering a massive plunge on each occasion. The 2026 rejection is now in place, and the analyst sees a third repeat of the same devastating sequence. However, the chart has a twist that changes everything. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Lose Nearly Half A Billion Dollars As Fear Returns To Crypto Dogecoin Gets Hammered On An Inverted Monthly Chart Trader Tardigrade’s chart shows DOGE/USD on the monthly timeframe, but the price scale is flipped. This means the lower the chart moves, the higher Dogecoin is moving in normal market price. The red descending line designated as a critical resistance is therefore not a bearish ceiling in the usual sense. It is a resistance line on an inverted chart, and a rejection from it sends the price downward. As shown on the chart, Dogecoin couldn’t break through and got sent straight back down below the level. However, considering this is inverted, what it actually means is that Dogecoin is bouncing on a support trendline. A drop on the inverted scale would translate into a rally in DOGE’s real price. The analyst pointed to three major moments when Dogecoin touched this inverted resistance and failed to break through. The first came around the 2017 cycle, the second around the 2021 cycle, and the third is being presented as the current 2026 setup. In each previous case, the rejection was followed by a large move downward on the inverted chart, which means a large rally upward on the normal Dogecoin chart. Dogecoin Price Chart. Source: @TATrader_Alan On X What’s Next For Dogecoin? “This drop is coming,” the analyst said. However, the drop being referenced is not a normal Dogecoin price crash. It is a drop on the inverted chart. In normal terms, that means the Dogecoin price would be rising. The chart’s projection even points to double-digit price levels if the historical drops on the inverted chart repeats itself. That target is extreme compared to Dogecoin’s current price around $0.108. A move to $1 would require DOGE to rise by more than 825% from current levels, while a move to $10 would require a rally of more than 9,000%. However, the projection on the chart shows the Dogecoin price going to as high as $23. This is why the chart should be read as a long-term setup.

The Bitcoin price had quite an interesting performance over the past week, cruising to a new high above the $79,000 high early on before crashing to as low as $75,500 on the last day of April. However, the premier cryptocurrency has had a somewhat bright start to May, hovering around the $78,000 level. While the subtle price action resurgence suggests improving market sentiment, on-chain data shows that current demand is still insufficient to fuel a full recovery for Bitcoin — and perhaps the rest of the crypto market. BTC Apparent Demand Improving, But Still Not Sufficient: Analyst In a recent Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, pseudonymous analyst Darkfost stated that the underlying Bitcoin market demand has remained weak despite the price rebound over the past two months. According to the crypto pundit, there is no current evidence of a shift in the price regime, despite BTC rising by more than 30% from its cycle lows. Drawing inferences from the Apparent Demand metric, which measures demand by comparing the freshly mined BTC to the amount of unmoved coin in over a year, Darkfost reiterated that market appetite has remained weak. Indeed, the metric has seen some recovery — as has price — from the ghastly -89,000 BTC in early April. Related Reading: Bitcoin Renko Mari-Ashi Reveals Where The Bottom Lies And When The Rise Will Begin Again However, CryptoQuant data shared by the analyst shows that the apparent demand (30-day sum) is still negative at -44,700 BTC. Darkfost revealed that the Bitcoin Apparent Demand metric has been in the red all year, except for a brief period in February, when BTC mining activity saw a sharp decline. Darkfost explained in their Quicktake post: I am excluding the brief positive shift at the end of February, as it was not driven by a genuine increase in demand, but rather by a sharp drop in BTC issuance. This was mainly due to a significant decline in mining activity, particularly linked to severe weather conditions in the United States earlier in the year. The analyst noted that while the apparent demand trend shows signs of improvement over the past few weeks, market appetite needs to improve further to create the appropriate environment to support a sustainable Bitcoin price recovery. As seen in previous trends, the price of BTC is directly related to the Apparent Demand indicator. Hence, investors need to watch out for when the metric turns positive. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $78,334, reflecting an over 2% jump in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin On Morgan Stanley’s Balance Sheet?
