Dogecoin is making noise again. After spending days coiling inside a symmetrical triangle, the meme coin favorite just delivered a clean breakout that's got traders paying attention.
What the Chart Shows
Analyst Trader Tardigrade flagged the move, and now everyone's wondering if DOGE is gearing up for its next leg up.
The 4-hour setup tells a clear story. DOGE smashed through the triangle's upper edge around $0.236-$0.238 with conviction, pushing all the way to $0.244 before taking a breather. Support is holding at $0.230 for now, while the next resistance zone sits between $0.250 and $0.260. The breakout came with a solid volume spike - exactly what you want to see when a pattern resolves. That kind of confirmation suggests this isn't just a head fake.
Why Traders Care
Symmetrical triangles are continuation patterns, which means when they break up, the prior uptrend usually resumes. Dogecoin's still one of the most-watched altcoins out there, so technical setups like this tend to pull in momentum players fast. The broader altcoin market's also showing some life, which gives DOGE extra room to run if conditions stay favorable.
This breakout matters. If bulls can keep price above $0.236, there's a real shot at pushing toward $0.250-$0.260 and possibly higher. Lose that support though, and we're back to retesting the breakout line. For now, Dogecoin's back on the radar as one of the sharper short-term plays in crypto.
