Dogecoin dip called perfectly - $0.48 target back in play

Despite last week’s temporary setback, Dogecoin (DOGE) now appears to be back on its bullish roadmap, as the meme coin rebounds from the key $0.19 buy zone, making it an attractive entry for traders eyeing a mid-term run toward $0.48.

Indeed, $0.19 stood out as a strong technical support area within DOGE’s long-term ascending channel, which popular crypto trading expert Ali Martinez argued was a “strong buy-the-dip zone for Dogecoin before a potential run toward $0.48,” according to his X post on October 12.

Just one day later, on October 13, as DOGE began bouncing from near that level, Martinez doubled down with a confident follow-up, stating to his followers: “Don’t say I didn’t tell you to buy the dip!”

Bigger picture

Specifically, the chart shared by Martinez shows DOGE consolidating within a broad ascending channel that has defined its market structure since mid-2023. Elon Musk’s favorite coin remains comfortably above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level around $0.19, so it’s a classic technical zone for continuation.

Meanwhile, traders should watch the support level at $0.19 as the buy zone that sparked the bounce, a resistance zone from $0.30 to $0.32 as a historical rejection range, and a target price at $0.48 if DOGE breaks out from this range, aligning with the 1.0 Fibonacci extension.

In other words, if the bullish momentum continues, a sustained breakout from the upper boundary of the channel could trigger a strong rally for DOGE, perhaps even toward the $0.80 – $0.85 range, where the 1.272 extension resides.

For now, Dogecoin is trading at the price of $0.2114, which indicates a surge of 11.73% in the last 24 hours, as it fights to erase a loss of 18.2% from the previous seven days and an accumulated dip of 28.91% on its monthly chart, according to the latest data.

All things considered, the Dogecoin community has received the confirmation of a fresh uptrend coupled with improving market sentiment against the backdrop of DOGE buying volume quadrupling under the leadership of institutional buyers.
