Dogecoin, the largest dog coin by market cap, may be preparing for a major move, crypto analyst Ali noted in a recent post. Ali highlighted the likelihood of this move being to the upside as several indicators align. A move to the upside in this scenario has the potential to reach $0.177 if a major resistance level where 30 billion $DOGE were previously transacted is surmounted.

In a five-point post, Ali highlighted key reasons why he believes Dogecoin may be setting up for a parabolic move.

According to Ali, a well-known indicator, the Tom DeMark Sequential flashed a buy signal on Dogecoin's monthly chart last month, pointing to a potential trend reversal.

Ali indicated that Dogecoin's current setup closely resembles that of August 2022, when the coin formed an inverted hammer alongside a TD buy signal, which was followed by a doji candle. This setup was followed by a 145% monthly rally.

$DOGE is now showing a similar pattern: an inverted hammer, a TD buy signal, and a developing doji candle. If history repeats, the next monthly candle could spark a significant move.

While the current technical setup remains positive, whales appear to be positioning for upside. Over the past week, large holders have accumulated more than 430 million $DOGE, adding conviction to the bullish technical setup.

$0.177 highlighted as potential target

Dogecoin has traded sideways between $0.068 and $0.08 since June 25. Dogecoin trades at $0.069, with a death cross recently appearing on its hourly chart.

If Dogecoin sees a trend reversal as indicated above, the key resistance to watch for the dog coin sits around $0.0813, according to Ali, where more than 30 billion $DOGE were previously transacted.

Dogecoin saw a sharp rejection from this key level on June 23 and has since turned into a key level to watch for Dogecoin's next move.
A sustained close above $0.0813 could signal further upside, with the next URPD resistance at $0.177, Ali noted.

If $DOGE manages to reclaim $0.0813 and convert this level to support, it might break out of its current range and attention could shift toward the next major resistance level.
