Crypto markets remain under serious pressure.
Dogecoin is currently trying to settle below $0.24 while Bitcoin is trying to get below the 50 EMA at $45,100.
Yesterday, crypto markets found themselves under huge pressure after Bitcoin moved back below the $50,000 level. Bitcoin became legal tender in El Salvador, but the country’s citizens had technical problems after the launch which may have served as a trigger for the sell-off.
Today, Bitcoin remains under pressure, although it has not reached yesterday’s lows near $43,000. This is a bearish sign for Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is currently trying to settle below the support level at $3,300, while XRP is testing the support at the 50 EMA at $1.05.
Dogecoin managed to get below the support level at $0.2450 and made an attempt to settle below the next support at $0.24. RSI remains in the moderate territory despite the strong sell-off, and there is plenty of room to gain additional downside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
If Dogecoin manages to get below the support at $0.24, it will head towards the next support at $0.2350. A move below this level will open the way to the test of the support at $0.23.
On the upside, Dogecoin needs to get back above $0.2450 to have a chance to develop upside momentum in the near term. A move above this level will push Dogecoin towards the resistance level at $0.2520. In case Dogecoin climbs back above this level, it will head towards the resistance at $0.2570.
It should be noted that the market remains in a panic mode, and Dogecoin may easily ignore technical levels. The trading volume has increased materially compared to previous trading sessions so Dogecoin will likely remain volatile. In this light, traders should be prepared for fast moves and focus on the momentum as support and resistance levels may be easily breached.
