Dogecoin Consolidates Above $0.18 as Bulls and Bears Show Indifference about Market Direction

Dogecoin's (DOGE) bullishness is running into rejection at the $0.21 resistance level. Since July 21, the bulls have repeatedly tested the resistance to break it. Each time there is a rejection, the crypto would fall to the $0.18 support.

Currently, the altcoin is trading in a range between $0.18 and $0.21. The cryptocurrency is trading marginally as there are small indecisive candles called Doji and Spinning tops.

These candlesticks indicate that buyers and sellers are indecisive about the direction of the market. If buyers push the altcoin above the $0.21 high, the market will rise to $0.26 or $0.35. On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break the recent high, the market will decline and break the support at $0.18. This will cause the altcoin to fall to a low of $0.15.
