Chart of the day: Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin broke out of its downward trend on September 13. Since then the largest meme coin in the crypto ecosystem climbed toward its October 21 peak of $0.14975, as seen in the DOGE/USDT chart below.
DOGE could lose 6% of its value and sweep liquidity at the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) at $0.13100.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator, is barely out of “overbought” territory. Once RSI crosses the 70 mark, it typically generates a sell signal for the asset.
