The Dogecoin weekly chart is back at a cluster of technical levels that one market watcher says offers a favorable entry. The pseudonymous trader Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) posted a TradingView snapshot and wrote, “I bought a little bit more DOGE and Fartcoin last night, but you pretty much knew that. I think it’s great risk-reward here and that I’ll do what I can to buy anyway.” In a follow-up note attached to the same chart, the analyst summarized the setup as a “DOGE Bull market support band back-test. Diagonal bear market trendline breakout and back-test.” Best Dogecoin Buy Signal? The chart, created August 3,, tracks DOGE/USD (Coinbase) on the weekly timeframe and shows price pulling into the Bull Market Support Band—an envelope indicator plotted as two lines—now marked around $0.19025–$0.20703. At the time of the screenshot, the weekly candle displayed O: $0.24076, H: $0.24860, L: $0.18855, C: $0.19945, reflecting a drop of roughly 17.15% on the week with hours left in the session. The drawdown follows a sharp two-week advance that pushed Dogecoin into the upper $0.20s before sellers faded the move. Technically, the image highlights two elements beyond the support band. First is a descending trendline drawn across lower weekly highs, which price moved above on July 16 and is now testing from the topside. Second is the confluence between that trendline and the bull market support band, a zone that trend followers often watch to judge whether a breakout is holding or failing. Related Reading: Historical Data Predicts Dogecoin Price Crash In August — But There’s A Silver Lining The analyst’s post frames the current retreat as a “back-test” of both features rather than a breakdown, implying that demand near the band could keep bulls in control if the level continues to act as support. While the post is explicitly bullish, the evidence presented is descriptive rather than predictive. However, the weekly candle has closed above the crucial area. So, the configuration is clear: after piercing a long-running diagonal barrier, DOGE is revisiting the $0.19–$0.21 area, where the support band is aligned with the former downtrend line. Related Reading: If Dogecoin Loses This Level, Expect A Major Crash: Analyst Warns Traders who subscribe to momentum-and-trend methodologies often evaluate such retests for confirmation—looking for stabilization, shrinking downside momentum, or a swift recovery back above the midline of the band. Cantonese Cat’s message distills that view into a simple risk stance. By stating “I think it’s great risk-reward here,” the commentator is signaling that, in his opinion, the nearby technical levels define risk tightly relative to potential upside should the breakout sustain. As always, that is one analyst’s interpretation of the chart at a specific moment in time; Dogecoin remains volatile, and this week will be pivotal for bulls attempting to confirm the momentum, but the risk-reward ratio seems quite good. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.199. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

After crashing below the $115,000 territory over the weekend, Bitcoin has reached an important level that could determine where the crypto market is headed next. Eventually, it comes down to the support levels and how much buying is going on to actually counter the effects of massive sell-offs that continue to drive down the price. However, if bulls are able to hold, then it could suggest there is enough momentum behind the cryptocurrency to push for new highs. Why Bitcoin Must Hold $100,000 In an analysis, crypto and market analyst MasterAnanda has pointed to the Bitcoin price already solidifying support that could help end the downtrend. Pointing to the current market decline, the analyst explains that the price is actually only down 8% after hitting its $123,000 all-time high back on July 14. This retrace is nothing out of the ordinary, which MasterAnanda refers to as “part of the normal workings of the market.” Related Reading: Satoshimeter Shows Where Bitcoin Price Is In This Cycle The current Bitcoin price fluctuations have not raised any alarms, as corrections are expected and are needed for the price to continue to rally. As the analyst explains, such fluctuations usually see the cryptocurrency reach new higher highs over the longer timeframe. Already, there is a lot of support for the Bitcoin price above the $110,000 level. This shows that while bears are pushing down hard, buying is still soaking up the dumped supply in the market. The analyst points to this support level as important, but highlights an even more important and stronger support level lying just above $100,000. This $100,000 level has remained a psychological level since it was first hit back in December 2024, becoming the level to hold if the market were to continue its uptrend. The crypto analyst explains that as long as the Bitcoin price remains above $100,000, then the bulls will continue to be in control. Related Reading: Market Cap Not A Hindrance To XRP Price Reaching $1,000, Expert Explains Why “After a few weeks, or several months, exactly as it happened last time, Bitcoin will go up. So you can expect retraces and corrections, but this is only short-term long-term we grow,” Master Ananda stated. However, there is still the possibility that the price does fall below the $100,000 level. In this case, it would mean an invalidation of the bullish thesis, and the analyst revealed that the short and mid-term analysis would need to be revisited and updated if this happens.
