Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Action
At the time of writing, DOGE was up 5.04% to $0.0938. A bullish start to the day saw DOGE rise from an early low of $0.0890 to a high of $0.0955.
DOGE broke through the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $0.0937.
Technical Indicators
DOGE needs to avoid a fall through R1 and the $0.0872 pivot to retarget the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $0.0982. A return to $0.0940 would signal a bullish afternoon session. However, the crypto news wires need to be crypto-friendly to support a breakout session.
In the event of an extended afternoon breakout session, the bulls could take a run at $0.100. The Third Major Resistance Level (R3) sits at $0.1092.
A fall through R1 and the pivot ($0.0872) would bring the First Major Support Level (S1) at $0.0827 into play. Barring an extended sell-off, DOGE should avoid sub-$0.0800 and the Second Major Support Level (S2) at $0.0762. However, further signs of FTX contagion would bring sub-$0.0800 into view.
The Third Major Support Level (S3) sits at $0.0652.
The EMAs sent a bullish signal, with DOGE sitting above the 200-day EMA, currently at $0.0862. The 50-day EMA narrowed to the 100-day EMA, with the 100-day EMA closing in on the 200-day EMA. The price signals were bullish.
A bullish cross of the 100-day EMA through the 200-day EMA would support a breakout from R1 ($0.0937) to bring R2 ($0.0982) and $0.10 into play. However, a fall through the 200-day ($0.0862) and 100-day ($0.0859) EMAs would bring the 50-day EMA ($0.0834) into view.
Shiba Inu Coin (SHIB) Price Action
At the time of writing, SHIB was up 1.42% to $0.00000931. A bullish start to the day saw SHIB rise from an early low of $0.00000917 to a high of $0.00000937.
Technical Indicators
SHIB needs to avoid the $0.00000917 pivot to target the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $0.00000949. A return to $0.00000940 would signal a bullish afternoon session. However, any further contagion news would test buyer appetite.
In the case of an extended rally, SHIB would likely test the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $0.00000980 and resistance at $0.0000100. The Third Major Resistance Level (R3) sits at $0.00001043.
A fall through the pivot would bring the First Major Support Level (S1) at $0.00000886 into play. Barring another extended sell-off, SHIB should avoid sub-$0.00000880 and the Second Major Support Level (S2) at $0.00000854.
The Third Major Support Level (S3) sits at $0.00000791.
The EMAs send a bearish signal, with SHIB sitting below the 100-day EMA, currently at $0.00000939. This morning, the 50-day EMA narrowed to the 100-day EMA, while the 100-day EMA eased back from the 200-day EMA. The signals were mixed.
A move through the 100-day EMA ($0.00000939) would support a breakout from R1 ($0.00000949) to give the bulls a run at R2 ($0.00000980) and the 200-day EMA ($0.0000993). However, a fall through the 50-day EMA ($0.00000905) would bring S1 ($0.00000886) into view.
