Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) has jumped 12% in 24 hours, igniting a spike in derivatives activity and drawing attention to critical technical setups pointing to further upside.

What Happened: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez noted DOGE has been respecting a long-term support trendline since October 2024.

If it dips to $0.14, it may present a solid buying opportunity ahead of a potential rally to $0.30.

CW highlighted only two notable sell walls left for DOGE, signaling less resistance overhead. World Of Charts pointed to a bullish flag formation, projecting a continuation rally to $0.25.

Maelius observed DOGE holding strong despite a dip below the EMA50.

The price structure appears to be forming a 1-2, 1-2 Elliott Wave, suggesting a powerful wave 3 could be next.

DOGE also remains supported at the EMA200 and trendline zone. The weekly Wave Trend Oscillator (WTO) crossover adds to the bullish case, implying a local bottom is likely in.
