Dogecoin is compressing beneath a dense band of weekly resistance that could unlock a powerful upside continuation once cleared, according to crypto analyst The Great Mattsby (@matthughes13). In his October 5 video, Mattsby frames the 0.618 retracement from the 2021 peak to the 2022 cycle low—marked at $0.26261—as the immediate trigger that “price is still getting rejected at,” adding: “That’s the area of interest to maybe try to close above.” Screenshots of his weekly DOGE/USDT chart show price hovering around $0.248–$0.249 at the time of recording, with a session high near $0.265 and low near $0.226, underscoring how repeatedly the market has tested the band without securing a decisive close. Dogecoin Coils Beneath Massive Resistance Mattsby argues the difficulty stems from confluence rather than a single line. “A big pile of resistance right here in the 24 to 26-cent zone,” he said, pointing to the lower edge of the Ichimoku Cloud and the conversion line stacked atop the 0.618. His chart annotates the Ichimoku Conversion Line at ~$0.2512, with clustered simple moving averages just beneath and around it—~$0.2464 and ~$0.2453—creating a narrow corridor where rallies stall and pullbacks find immediate bids. He also flags the cloud ceiling as the last gate before momentum expansion; while he verbally referenced “around 28 cents,” the screenshotted weekly readout places Ichimoku Leading Span B near ~$0.2937, effectively defining a resistance shelf running from roughly $0.26 up to the high-$0.28s–$0.29s. Related Reading: Last Call Before Lift-Off? Dogecoin Coils For Crucial Breakout Despite the stall, Mattsby is clear that the structure has turned constructive. “It was a beautiful breakout back test of this orange arc… and ever since that bottom in April, it’s higher highs, higher low, higher high, higher low. So, it is the market structure that is required to break out.” He expects more time within the range but anticipates an impulsive resolution once the lid gives way: “One of these weeks we might be able to see like a bullish engulfing candle just breaking through multiple levels and just continuing higher.” In his words, “Not ready to break free just yet, but the setup is there… a little bit more patience, but it’s setting up perfectly to go higher.” The screenshots anchor both the upside roadmap and the invalidation rungs. Overhead, the Fibonacci stack above the 0.618 pins subsequent hurdles at the 0.702 (~$0.3298), 0.786 (~$0.4142), 0.886 (~$0.5432) levels as well as the all-time high at 0.73995—zones that historically attract profit-taking and trend acceleration when reclaimed in strong cycles. Below, the weekly Ichimoku scaffolding outlines support stair-steps at Leading Span A (~$0.2348) and the Base Line (~$0.2184), aligning with Mattsby’s preferred “accumulation” pocket. “I love this 24-cent zone, maybe even down to the 22-cent zone. That area of support looks beautiful for accumulation until it’s ready to break free,” he said. Deeper, the mid-cycle retracement marks line up at 0.500 (~$0.1907), 0.382 (~$0.1385) and 0.236 (~$0.0932). Related Reading: Can Dogecoin Hit $1? Bullish Patterns and Global Adoption Spark Fresh October Optimism Mattsby also reiterates the role of the weekly 50-period moving average as an active barrier within the same band, emphasizing that DOGE is “still battling that as a potential resistance trying to flip it all to support.” The proximity of the 50-week to the conversion line and the 0.618 fib is part of what makes the cluster decisive: a weekly close through $0.26261 that also recaptures the conversion line and neutralizes the cloud’s lower boundary would simultaneously flip multiple filters—momentum, trend, and mean—into alignment. The bottom line of his roadmap is unambiguous. The market is coiling directly beneath the $0.26 trigger while building a rising base above $0.22–$0.24. The analyst’s expectation is for continued high-level consolidation until an outsized candle resolves the stalemate. “It’s almost ready—just not yet,” he concluded. “It’s not if, it is when… once that barrier breaks, the true excitement can begin.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.25671.

While the Bitcoin price seems to have deviated completely from the four-year cycle that dictated the previous bull and bear markets, there are still some similarities that remain that suggest that it could still play out in a similar way. The major similarity that has emerged is the formation of a bearish crab pattern back in 2021, and now, the same pattern has reappeared. Thus, taking a look at the direction of the 2021 formation could give an insight into where the Bitcoin price is headed next from here. The Pattern That Triggered The Bitcoin Price Explosion In an analysis, crypto analyst Weslad was the one who pointed out that the Bearish Crab Pattern had returned, and this was formed on the daily chart as well. Interestingly, the current formation looks eerily similar to the way it formed back in 2021, suggesting that the resulting trend could play out the same. Related Reading: Key Price Breakout Sets Dogecoin On 153% Rally To Clear $0.65 – Details Back in 2021, when the Bearish Crab Pattern came up, the result was a price explosion that sent the Bitcoin price toward its $69,000 all-time high. This “Blow-off top” rally is usually the last rally in a bull market, and its end often signals the start of the next bear market. With this pattern, though, there are a number of targets to watch out for that could show where the price is headed next. The first of these is that the Bitcoin price would need to complete a daily close above the $124,545 level, and this is known as the Activation Trigger. Next in line is what Weslad refers to as the “Buy The Dip Zone”. This would be the ideal price range to enter Bitcoin in the case of a retrace, and this lies between $118,000 and $120,000. A dip toward these levels is nothing to worry about, as it means that the bulls are still in control. Related Reading: Dogecoin Face-Melting Rally: This Bullish Impulse Will Send Price Toward $0.8 ATH Both of the zones outlined above, if held, would see the Bitcoin price continue its bullish rally. If the final, explosive leg does play out as it did back in 2017-2021, then the Crab pattern suggests that the Bitcoin price will at least go to $136,000, with an extended target of $147,000, and the possibility that it goes further toward $160,000. However, the final target is the bearish one that could send the Bitcoin price crashing back downward, and it lies at $107,000. According to the crypto analyst, a break below this level would invalidate the entire bullish thesis, calling it the “line in the sand.” Weslad explains that “The invalidation level at $107K is crucial. A break below there means the setup is broken, and we must re-assess.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
