DOGE Price Forecast: Rebounds from key support zone 

Dogecoin price found support around its 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.211 on Tuesday, recovering slightly the next day. This level also coincides with the 200-day EMA, making it a key support zone. At the time of writing on Thursday, it extends its recovery trading above $0.223.

If the support level at $0.211 continues to hold, DOGE could extend the recovery toward its daily resistance at $0.247.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is approaching its neutral level of 50, indicating a fading of bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines are also converging, indicating indecisiveness among traders.

If SHIB continues its recovery, it could extend the gains toward its 200-day EMA at $0.000014.

The RSI indicator is pointing upward toward its neutral level of 50, indicating fading bearish momentum. For the recovery rally to be sustained, the RSI must move above its neutral level.
