What happened: Trader Tardigrade, noted for recognizing patterns and forecasting the next moves for cryptocurrencies, predicted "upside momentum" for DOGE as the meme coin broke out from a descending trendline.
Typically, a break above the descending trend line indicates that buyer demand has increased and the bearish trend could end. Notably, DOGE lost over 6% in a week.
In a separate post, the influential trader spotted a falling wedge pattern on the weekly Dogecoin vs. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) dominance chart.

Ali Martinez, another widely followed cryptocurrency analyst, predicted DOGE to rise to $0.36 after the biggest meme coin by market capitalization was seen breaking out of a symmetrical triangle pattern.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence, which compares two exponential moving averages of price, flashed a "Sell" signal as of this writing, according to data from TradingView.
Additionally, the Momentum indicator, which compares the short-term momentum and long-term momentum, also gave a bearish signal.
In the futures market, bearish bets on DOGE surged against bullish bets, according to Coinglass.
