The first major resistance for the bulls could be near the $0.3550 level. The next major resistance is near the $0.3720 level or the 50%  Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.4014 swing high to the $0.3416 low.

A close above the $0.3720 resistance might send the price toward the $0.3860 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.40 level. The next major stop for the bulls might be $0.420.

If DOGE’s price fails to climb above the $0.3550 level, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.3420 level. The next major support is near the $0.3380 level.
