Dogecoin is in a Sideways Move as Bulls Battle Resistance at $0.21

Dogecoin (DOGE) has been consolidating above $0.18 support for the past four days. Bulls failed to break through the $0.21 resistance, forcing the cryptocurrency to resume a sideways move below the recent high.

The DOGE price is characterized by candles with small bodies called doji and spinning tops. These candlesticks describe that buyers and sellers are undecided about the direction of the market.

This is the reason for the current consolidation. Meanwhile, Dogecoin's upside is being hindered by $0.21 overhead resistance. On the upside, if buyers break through the $0.21 overhead resistance, the cryptocurrency will move up to $0.25. Conversely, if resistance remains unbroken, the DOGE price will fall. Bears will take advantage to push the DOGE to the previous low at $0.16.
