Dogecoin [DOGE], the world’s largest and most popular meme coin, is poised for a significant price decline as it has formed a bearish price action pattern.
On the 26th of December, the overall cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], and XRP, experienced a notable price decline, shifting market sentiment toward a downtrend.
Data shows that the major factors currently supporting DOGE’s bearish outlook are the overall market sentiment, traders’ bearish activity, and bearish price action.
Dogecoin technical analysis and key level
According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, DOGE is on the verge of breaking down from a small consolidation zone, which formed after it failed to hold the support level at $0.35.
With the recent price decline, the memecoin has reached the lower boundary of the consolidation zone at the $0.30 mark.

Based on technical analysis, if DOGE fails to hold this lower boundary and closes a daily candle below the $0.30 level, there is a strong possibility that the memecoin could decline by 25%, reaching the $0.22 level.
DOGE’s bearish thesis will only hold if it closes a daily candle below the $0.30 level, otherwise, it may fail.

In addition to traders’ bearish views, long-term holders appeared to be accumulating the asset from exchanges, as reported by Coinglass data.
