Despite stalled momentum and fading volume, Dogecoin (DOGE) has begun to flash its first technical reversal signal in weeks. Although the price action remains within a tight consolidation range, the underlying indicators suggest that selling pressure is finally exhausting, pointing toward a high-probability bounce that could kickstart a structural recovery. Doji Reaction Sparks Hope For A Reversal According to Umair Crypto, Dogecoin slipped below the $0.14 mark but managed to close the last candle with a notable reaction, forming a doji that reflects market indecision. This candle is now attempting to reclaim the RSI trendline, hinting at a possible shift in momentum. A sustained recovery above the key $0.17 level, which aligns with the swing’s golden pocket, would strengthen the case for a bullish reversal. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bull Run Rests On This One Price Level, Analyst Warns Despite this technical hint, volume remains a major concern. Trading activity is still weak, suggesting that buyers have not fully committed to any upside attempt. Without a clear increase in volume, any bounce may struggle to sustain follow-through, leaving the market vulnerable to renewed selling pressure. Another factor adding weight to the uncertainty is the looming death cross setup. Historically, Dogecoin tends to show a brief upside move before the death cross fully plays out to the downside. If price action continues to soften while moving into this crossover signal, the bears may regain short-term control. A failure to secure the $0.17 level would significantly increase the probability of a new lower low forming. However, if the $0.17 threshold is reclaimed and held convincingly, it could open the door to higher highs in the sessions ahead. Bullish Peaks Fade: DOGE Slips Into A Controlled Downtrend In a more recent update from BitGuru, Dogecoin’s structure appears to be shifting once again. The chart highlights two notable bullish cycles where DOGE surged to $0.25 and $0.26 before momentum faded, giving way to a broader downtrend. These swings reflect how quickly enthusiasm can return to DOGE, even in a corrective market. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Falls Again as Trader Sentiment Turns Increasingly Bearish Dogecoin has now slipped back into a critical support zone near $0.14682, a level that has previously served as a base for price reactions. The market is exhibiting early signs of stabilization in this area, indicating that buyers are starting to assess the strength of this support. How DOGE behaves here could shape the overall direction of its next major move. If the support holds firm, the probability of a short-term rebound increases, potentially sending DOGE toward its next resistance area. However, if it fails, the downtrend may deepen, signaling that sellers remain firmly in control. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin’s recent price swings have picked up pace, and market watchers say that option markets may again be calling the shots. Over the past two months volatility has climbed, shifting how traders and investors respond to big moves in BTC. Related Reading: $2 Billion Gone In Minutes: Bitcoin Slide Shakes Crypto World Volatility Numbers Reignite Focus According to Jeff Park, implied volatility had stayed below 80% since US Bitcoin ETFs were approved, But it is now creeping back toward about 60%. That rise matters because option flows can amplify moves — both up and down — when traders reposition quickly. Park pointed to January 2021 as a clear example, when an options-driven surge helped push Bitcoin to a cycle high of $69,000 in November of that year. In other words, swings driven by derivatives are capable of producing outsized trends. Price Drops And Clearing Of Positions Bitcoin tumbled below $85,000 on Thursday, a move that helped trigger liquidations and heightened selling pressure. Reports have disclosed that some losses are tied to highly leveraged positions being forced closed, while other activity appears to come from long-term holders taking profits. Analysts at Bitfinex called much of the action “actical rebalancing,” saying it does not break long-term adoption or fundamentals. Binance CEO Richard Teng is reported to have noted that volatility levels are similar across many asset types right now. Derivatives And Short-Term Shocks Options positioning can make price action sharper because large contracts push traders to hedge or cover quickly, and hedging activity often shows up as rapid moves in the spot market. This mechanism was important in the 2021 run and may be at work again as implied volatility climbs. Traders who watch the volatility surface say early signs of option-driven behavior are visible, even if the current readings are nowhere near the extremes seen in prior cycles. Fed Betting Adds A Macro Twist Meanwhile, according to the CME FedWatch tool, the market now sees a 71% chance of a 25-basis point cut in December, up from about 30–40% earlier this week. Comments from New York Fed President John Williams helped shift those odds by suggesting policy could move toward neutral, while other Fed officials were quoted by Reuters as taking more cautious stances. A rate cut, if it happens, could give risk assets some lift; a no-show might keep volatility elevated.

Crypto analyst Crypto Waterman, who predicted the Bitcoin price action with Chinese Astrology, has revealed when the flagship crypto will surge alongside altcoins. This comes as BTC looks to rebound from its recent crash to as low as $81,000. Analyst Reveals When The Bitcoin Price Will Surge In an X post, Crypto Waterman predicted that the Bitcoin price would surge from December 5 after it bottoms between November 28 and 29, when Mercury retrograde ends. He further remarked that there will be high swings up and down between November 29 and December 5, noting that the current market action is similar to mid-July 2021 in the previous cycle. Related Reading: Analyst Who Sold Bitcoin At $102,000 Predicts Crash To $40,000, But There’s Something Else The crypto analyst stated that the Bitcoin price rise will happen from December 5 to December 18 for two weeks, with the relief rally sending BTC to between $100,000 and $110,000. Once that happens, he predicts a three-week dip from December 18 to January 6, which will push BTC down to between $90,000 and $100,000. After the dip, Crypto Waterman predicts that the Bitcoin price will rise from December 6 to mid-February, hitting a new all-time high (ATH) during that period. He expects the flagship crypto to rally to between $140,000 and $145,000. Notably, the crypto analyst has so far accurately predicted the November BTC price action, which he claimed was with the help of Chinese astrology. Based on this, the crypto analyst is confident that the Bitcoin price is about to have its final leg in this bull market cycle. He also expects altcoins to witness one final rally to the upside, predicting that altseason should happen between January and February. Crypto Waterman also revealed that he plans to exit most of his bags in mid-February or the beginning of March as the market enters the horse year. ‘Too Early’ To Call For New ATH Crypto analyst Colin has indicated that it is too early to predict that the Bitcoin price could reach a new all-time high. This follows the recent BTC rebound from its lows of around $81,000 last week. The analyst explained that a bounce was inevitable after the flagship crypto was so oversold. However, he isn’t flipping macro bullish on expecting a new ATH too quickly. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Suffer 40% Crash From All-Time High? Analyst Reveals ‘Final Target’ The analyst further remarked that such a bounce says nothing about new ATHs and that BTC must reclaim major key levels well above current levels to have a chance of reaching new ATHs. He added that he expects the Bitcoin price to reach $100,000 on this bounce, but that won’t mean that a new ATH is in sight. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $87,500, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
