As the market enters a period of uncertainty after a bullish start to the week, the Dogecoin price has slipped back into a consolidation trend once again. This represents the slowdown brought about by profit-taking as investors secure their position. However, this does not mean that the favor has fallen back to the bears. In fact, the Dogecoin price remains in a bullish position, and as long as key factors continue to hold, then the meme coin could see a colorful breakout rally from here.
The Broadening Wedge And What It Means
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Gandalf Crypto took to the X (formerly Twitter) platform to share some interesting things about the Dogecoin price action. The price has so far been characterized by higher highs and lower lows, not suggesting a particular direction. But just shows that volatility is becoming higher and higher. This could lead to wild fluctuations in the Dogecoin price.

Nevertheless, the fact that the altcoin continues to trade inside a Broadening Wedge pattern is worth noting. As is the case with a broadening wedge pattern, the direction in which the price breaks could determine whether the rally would continue or if the price decline would deepen.
In the case of a breakout of the upper trendline toward $0.28, it would signal that the bulls will continue to push the Dogecoin price higher. However, on the flip side, there is the possibility that the price breaks below the lower trendline and makes its way toward $0.2. In that case, a deeper correction will be expected.
Key Things To Watch Out For With The Dogecoin Price
As the crypto analyst explains, the Dogecoin price is now nearing its resolution point within the Broadening Wedge pattern. At this junction, there are a number of things to watch that could serve as confirmation for which direction will likely play out.
The first of these is in the case of a breakout, and that is the upper trendline, as already outlined above. This break would signal a bullish continuation, but it would need to be supported by adequate volume to maintain this path.

Without volume, momentum struggles and could end up falling back down. But as long as the volume follows the breakout, it could lead to a Wave 7 after the completion of the Wave 6. The target for this would lie above $0.34.
The more bearish path is in the case where the price completely breaks all three supports from $0.24 all the way down to $0.22. This would invalidate the entire bullish thesis, putting the bears in charge once more.
