DOGE Coils Above a Multi-Touch Floor: Mean-Reversion Long Aiming for the 0.225 Magnet

Overview and context

• Instrument: Dogecoin (DOGE)
• Timestamp: 2025-08-31 21:00 UTC
• Last price: 0.217763
• Recent regime: Post-July blow-off (0.2868 high on Jul 21) into August corrective downtrend with emerging late-August base above 0.209–0.216. Current microstructure shows tight Sunday consolidation 0.2163–0.2209 with declining intraday volatility.

1. Multi-timeframe price structure

• Daily trend: Lower highs from 0.2769 (Jul 20) → 0.2729 (Jul 20 close) → 0.2452 (Aug 13) → 0.2406 (Aug 22) → 0.2360 (Aug 23) → 0.2318 (Aug 24) → 0.2243 (Aug 28) → 0.21598 (Aug 30). The slope is negative but flattening since Aug 29–31 with closes 0.2140 → 0.2160 and now 0.2178.
• Support clusters:
  • Major: 0.209–0.210 (Aug 19 low/close 0.20905; Aug 25 close 0.20982; Jul 31 close 0.20987) – strong multi-touch shelf.
  • Intermediate: 0.214–0.216 (Aug 29 close 0.21404; Aug 30 close 0.21598; several intraday tests Aug 31 around 0.2163–0.2173).
• Resistance clusters:
  • 0.2189–0.2219 (intraday R1/R2 pivots computed from Aug 30; multiple hourly rejections near 0.2192–0.2209 today).
  • 0.224–0.225 (20-day SMA and Aug 28 close 0.22434).
  • 0.231–0.236 (Aug 16–24 cluster; Aug 23 0.23601).
  • 0.240–0.245 (Aug 22 0.24059, Aug 13 0.24520).
• Intraday pattern (hourly Aug 31): Tight range with marginal higher lows: 0.21728 → 0.21758 → 0.21754 → 0.21738 → 0.21776, with repeated sells near 0.219–0.221. This is a low-volatility coil/baselining profile with slight upward bias.

2. Moving averages and trend filters

• 20-day SMA ≈ 0.2250 (avg of Aug 11–30 closes ≈ 0.22497). Price 0.2178 is ~3.2% below – mildly bearish but close enough for mean-reversion attempts.
• 50-day SMA (approx): 0.226–0.228 (given July/Aug averages). Price below – intermediate trend still down.
• 5/10-day SMAs (qualitative): Rolling sideways/down; recent stabilization over last 2–3 sessions indicates potential flattening.
• Conclusion: Bearish to neutral trend bias on daily, but distance to 20SMA small, favoring short-term reversion attempt.

3. Momentum oscillators

• RSI(14) daily (explicit calc Aug 17–30):
  • Avg gain ≈ 0.00391; avg loss ≈ 0.00524 → RS ≈ 0.746 → RSI ≈ 42.7.
  • Interpretation: Bearish momentum but out of oversold; room to bounce toward 50 without overbought risks.
• Stochastic (qualitative): Price basing near lower third of recent range; fast stoch likely crossed up over slow during the latest two sessions → supportive of a short-term pop.
• MACD (qualitative): After August slide, MACD line likely below signal but histogram contracting as price compresses – early inflection signal.

4. Volatility and bands

• ATR(14) daily (approx): 0.012–0.015. Expected 24h range ≈ ±0.012 around spot → band 0.206–0.230 (baseline). With a volatility pickup, high tail could extend to 0.233–0.236.
• Bollinger Bands (20, 2):
  • Mid ≈ 0.2250; estimated lower band ≈ 0.213; upper ≈ 0.237–0.249 depending on recent stdev. Current price in lower third, supportive of mean reversion toward mid-band (0.225).
• Intraday volatility: Hourly range 0.2163–0.2209; realized vol compressed, often a precursor to range expansion.

5. Market profile, volume, and VWAP

• Volume trend: Daily volumes spiked on down days (Aug 25) and on the Aug 22 bounce; last two sessions saw lower volume as price stabilized – characteristic of a potential exhaustion low.
• OBV (qualitative): Flattening after prior drawdown; the last two small green closes and today’s tight coil imply OBV basing.
• VWAP (intraday proxy): Today’s prints cluster ~0.218; spot 0.2178 is at/slightly below intraday VWAP – decent risk-reward for long within range.

6. Fibonacci structure

• Swing reference: High 0.28676 (Jul 21) → low 0.20905 (Aug 19). Range ≈ 0.07771.
  • 23.6% from low: 0.2274
  • 38.2%: 0.23875
  • 50%: 0.2479
  • 61.8%: 0.2571
• Current 0.2178 is even below 23.6% retracement, indicating the bounce is weak so far; a test of 23.6% (0.227–0.228) is a common first target if the base holds. Nearer, 20SMA at 0.225 provides the first magnet.
• Intraday Fib (Aug 30 low 0.21200 → Aug 31 high 0.22092, Δ=0.00892): Extensions above 100% project 1.618 ≈ 0.22092+0.01442 ≈ 0.23534; 1.272 ≈ 0.22227; 1.382 ≈ 0.22333; 1.618 ≈ 0.22634. Confluence: 1.618 ≈ 0.2263 ~ near 20SMA and daily 23.6–38.2 pocket.

7. Ichimoku (qualitative)

• Tenkan (9) likely near the short-term mean (~0.219–0.221); Kijun (26) closer to ~0.225–0.226. Price below Kijun and likely near/below Tenkan – often a mean-reversion pull toward Kijun if base holds.
• Cloud (Kumo): With August downtrend, price likely beneath the cloud on daily – still bearish regime; hence targets should be conservative and taken into resistance.

8. Classical pivots (from Aug 30 H=0.21842, L=0.21200, C=0.21598)

• Pivot P = (H+L+C)/3 ≈ 0.21547
• R1 = 2P − L ≈ 0.21893
• S1 = 2P − H ≈ 0.21251
• R2 = P + (H−L) ≈ 0.22188
• S2 = P − (H−L) ≈ 0.20905
• Observations: Today’s intraday highs repeatedly near 0.219–0.221 line up with R1/R2. Break and hold above R1 opens a quick test of R2; above R2, 0.224–0.225 (20SMA) is next.

9. Pattern diagnostics and Wyckoff/Elliott context

• Wyckoff lens: Selling climax into 0.214 on Aug 29, automatic rally to ~0.219–0.221, secondary tests around 0.216–0.217 today. This looks like early accumulation within a trading range (TR) bounded by ~0.216–0.225. A spring is not evident; instead, a dull, low-volume test suggests supply absorption.
• Elliott sketch (tentative): 5-wave decline from Aug 22 to Aug 29 could be complete; current bounce likely an A–B–C corrective move toward the 0.224–0.228 pocket before reassessing.

10. Risk signals and invalidation

• Bearish invalidation short-term: Clean break and hourly close below 0.2147 → opens 0.2125 S1; through that, 0.2090 S2 (major).
• Bullish trigger: Hourly close above 0.2192 (today’s frequent rejection zone) → momentum likely toward 0.2219 (R2) then 0.224–0.225.

11. Probability-weighted 24h view

• Up-move to test 0.2219–0.225: 55%
• Range-bound 0.216–0.221 chop: 30%
• Down break toward 0.212–0.209: 15% Rationale: RSI out of oversold, basing above multi-touch 0.214–0.216, and proximity to 20SMA favors a mean-reversion pop; however, the broader daily trend is still down, capping upside near the mid-band.

12. Trade plan (tactical mean-reversion long)

• Thesis: Buy the base for a push to the 20-day SMA/pivot confluence (0.224–0.225) within 24h as volatility expands from today’s coil.
• Entry: Limit near intraday support 0.2172–0.2174 to optimize R:R; spot 0.21776 is close, modest patience likely yields a fill.
• Target: 0.2249 (tests above R2, tags 20SMA, sits below heavier resistance 0.226–0.228).
• Risk guide (not part of order fields but recommended): Stop below 0.2147 (beneath recent hourly lows and micro shelf). This affords roughly +0.0076 upside vs −0.0025 downside from 0.2173, R:R ≈ 3:1.
• Notes: If momentum accelerates through 0.225 with volume, partials can be left for 0.2263–0.2283 (Fib 1.618/ pivot R3 zone), but primary plan is to respect the mid-band cap and take the win.

13. Confluences supporting a Buy

• Support confluence: 0.214–0.217 shelf (multi-touch), S1 at 0.2125, major S2 0.2090.
• Mean-reversion magnet: 20SMA ≈ 0.225 lies above price and near daily pivot resistance band.
• RSI ~43 with histogram contraction: typical backdrop for short-term bounce attempts.
• Intraday pivot map aligns with observed rejections and gives clear, nearby upside milestones (R1 0.2189; R2 0.2219).

14. Key risks

• Trend context still bearish below 50SMA; upside likely capped at 0.224–0.228 unless broader market (e.g., BTC) breaks higher. No cross-asset confirmation included here.
• Weekend liquidity can produce false breaks; use disciplined risk controls.

Bottom line

• Expect a 24h attempt to lift into 0.2219–0.225. Strategy: Buy the dip near 0.2173; take profit into the 20SMA/upper pivot band at 0.2249. Invalidate on a decisive break below ~0.2147, as that would likely usher in tests of 0.2125 then 0.2090.
