The Dogecoin price has been under intense pressure for the past few days. The DOGE coin has been among the poor-performing altcoins in the crypto market, declining more than 10% in the last seven days. The coin’s total market capitalization currently stands at $28 billion, ranking it as the 10th most valued digital asset in the world. It is slightly below Polkadot and slightly above Avalanche.
Crypto Sell-Off
Just like most altcoins, Dogecoin has been in the red for the past seven days. Bitcoin has been moving below the critical level of $45,000. The world’s leading cryptocurrency has been under extreme pressure since the start of the week which is bearish for altcoins. If Bitcoin manages to settle below the $42,600 support level, it will add to the bearish outlook of the whole crypto market and exert pressure on Dogecoin.
The Ethereum price has been hanging onto the $3,000 level by a whisker. The global crypto market cap currently stands lower at $1.92 trillion, which is way below the highest level reached. The growing pressure of most altcoins could be bearish for Dogecoin.
Investors seem uncertain about the coin’s performance in the next few weeks. The focus has now shifted to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision later on Wednesday. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is also expected to release its economic projections later that day.
Among the best performing cryptocurrencies include Avalanche, Celo, and Shiba Inu.
Dogecoin Price Analysis
The four-hour chart demonstrates several things about the Dogecoin price. First, the Dogecoin price has been on several twists and turns for the past few days. Second, it is moving below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Its RSI is at 32 which is 2 points closer to the oversold region, reinforcing its bearish outlook.
Therefore, the DOGE price is likely to extend its bearish outlook for the next few weeks. However, a move past the key resistance level at $0.2485, will invalidate this view.
