Technical outlook for DOGE, SHIB and PEPE shows V-shape recovery 

Dogecoin price recovered sharply at the start of this week, rising by 9% on Monday. At the time of writing on Tuesday, it hovers at around $0.163.

If DOGE recovers and closes above the descending trendline (drawn by connecting multiple highs since the end of May), it could extend the rally toward its June 11 high of $0.206.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 38, recovering from the oversold levels seen on Sunday and suggesting a fading bearish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is hinting at a bullish crossover (the MACD line is close to cross above the signal line), which, if completed, would give a buy signal.
