Dogecoin: A Most Curious Ascent

by

It began, as so many things do, with a stirring – a faint lifting of spirits amongst those who trade in these digital tokens. Dogecoin, that most whimsical of currencies, born of a meme and fueled by the hopes and anxieties of the internet, began to climb. Above a level called, with a solemnity quite absurd for the subject, ‘$0.120,’ it rose. One might almost think it a purposeful act, yet purpose is often the last thing to be found in such matters.

The price, you see, did manage a bit of a rebound from the somewhat ignominious depth of $0.1150. It pushed past the $0.1180 mark, and even dared to glance at $0.120, as if questioning whether further exertion was truly worth the effort. Alas, it remains tethered below the lofty $0.130, a veritable ceiling of indifference, and that 100-hourly simple moving average – a concept so complex it is best not to dwell upon it.

There was a breaking, they say, of a ‘bearish trend line’, a phrase suggesting a mighty struggle, though between whom and what remains delightfully unclear. It stopped at $0.1240, a number which, one suspects, holds no true significance in the grand scheme of things, but comforts those who believe in the power of numbers.

Should this tiny upward movement continue – and one hesitates to place bets on such frivolity – it may encounter resistance near $0.1260, and then, perhaps, the more substantial obstacle of $0.1285. Further still, if the fates allow, it might even approach $0.1330, a sum that would surely cause a ripple of excitement, or at least a mild distraction, amongst its devotees.

But let us not be carried away by foolish optimism. Should Dogecoin falter, should its momentary surge be extinguished like a candle in the wind, it will likely find support at $0.1230, then $0.120. And if that too should fail, it may fall still further, perhaps even towards $0.1150, or even lower into the abyss of $0.1080, or, heavens forbid, $0.1050. Such is the unpredictable nature of these digital enthusiasms.

The so-called ‘technical indicators’ – the MACD and RSI, terms that sound more like ailments than guidance – murmur about losing momentum and being above the 50 level. But these are mere whispers, hardly reliable indicators of anything beyond the mathematicians’ amusement.

The supports, they say, are at $0.1200 and $0.1150. The resistances are at $0.1280 and $0.1330. Whether these numbers possess any real power, or are simply placeholders in a game of chance, remains – as always – a matter for endless, and largely pointless, debate.
