Dogecoin was trading in a tight hourly channel as the prices had stabilized around a short-term support zone. DOGE was trading at the time of writing at $0.1246, which is an increase of 1.0 percent over the session. This is the price activity, after a steep rise in the price earlier in the day, following which the asset was in an apparent phase of consolidation. It is important to note that the structure at hand indicates compression of volatility with narrowing of candles between established limits. Consequently, the market has become price-oriented in nature due to the price behavior around immediate technical price levels. This shift preconditions the intensive movement that is controlled in the course of a day.
Price action was also sustained around the price level of $0.1233 which served as a major support level every hour. The behavior came after a robust bullish candle in the preceding session, which has formed the present trading position. The following candles however demonstrated a smaller range implying less momentum.
Simultaneously, the hourly organization indicated that the price compression was organized and not aggressive. This stability contributed to the maintenance of the short term trend with the downside movement being held in check.
Although the support was solid, the overhead pressure was observed close to the price of $0.1283, which characterized the top of the 24-hour range. This level was not however challenged by price during the process of consolidation.
Rather, the candles were drawn in successively, which indicated less follow-through on the first rise. Interestingly, the value of the BTC-paired was 0.051393 BTC and this was up by 0.1 percent which was consistent with dampened relative strength. Consequently, price stayed pegged below resistance and at the same time price stayed pegged above support.
The hourly chart reflected a narrowing price structure following the earlier impulse move. This formation coincided with declining volatility and balanced order flow. However, price continued trading above its most recent breakout base.
Also, the highs of the lows were preserved during the period of consolidation. These conditions maintained prices that ranged between $0.1233 and $0.1283. Traders, therefore, paid close attention to reactions in and around these levels as the trading day wore on with the direction of the prices being a data-driven and technically-defined response.
