• The Social Dominance score reaches a new high since mid-May, indicating an increased buzz surrounding Dogwifhat.

Dogwifhat (WIF) edges lower towards recently reclaimed dynamic support levels, trading at $0.85 at the time of writing on Monday.

Dogwifhat plots a broadening wedge pattern breakout

Dogwifhat trades in the red by 1% at press time on Monday as it struggles to hold the 4.82% surge from the prior day. Despite the pullback, WIF holds above the dynamic support levels of the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), at $0.83 and $0.84, respectively.

As the support holds firm at present, WIF could target an overhead resistance trendline formed by the peaks on May 12, May 29, and June 10. It is worth noting that the overhead trendline completes a descending broadening wedge pattern combined with a support trendline connected by the lowest prices on May 15, May 31, and June 22. 

Typically, the pattern concludes in a bullish outcome, increasing the upside chances for Dogwifhat. If WIF closes above the overhead trendline at $0.92, it could test the 200-day EMA at $1.08. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 52 takes a sideways shift near the midline after bouncing back from close to the oversold boundary line on June 22, suggesting a boost in buying pressure.

However, if WIF fails to hold above the 50-day EMA at $0.83, it could test the previous dip on June 22 at $0.63.
