#DOGE #WCTCS9 Dogecoin may see its first major daily death cross of 2026: Is a potential trend shift approaching?
A potential trend shift could counter bearish pressure and invalidate the current setup.
Dogecoin could see its first daily death cross of 2026, as moving averages point to convergence in the coming days. The daily 50-day moving average is currently sloping downward, while the daily 200-day moving average is flattening, highlighting the potential for a death cross. Dogecoin saw its first daily golden cross of 2026 in October, but profit-taking in the crypto market drove its price down to a low of $0.077. Bears seem to be making an aggressive effort to negate this bullish signal, with the possibility of a death cross drawing near.
The timing of a death cross remains uncertain, as a trend shift could counter the bears’ push and invalidate the current pattern. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was up 3.19% over the past 24 hours to $0.081, after briefly selling off as investors weighed higher-than-expected inflation data and the latest remarks on interest rates from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
Inflation data released this week was strong: the Producer Price Index released Thursday showed wholesale prices rose 6.3% year over year in September, the biggest increase since 2022. The Consumer Price Index also rose in data released Wednesday. Fed officials responded in September by approving the first rate hike in more than three years; markets expect the Fed to hold rates steady in October and hike again in December.
Could a trend shift be coming? The last time Dogecoin saw a death cross on the daily chart was in November 2025, followed by months of selling until a golden cross appeared recently. This has focused market attention on price action in case a death cross ultimately appears again.
Crypto analyst Ali recently posted a contrarian take on X, sharing three reasons to be bullish on Dogecoin.
First, the TD Sequential indicator has previously marked potential turning points for Dogecoin several times, and this time it issued a buy signal on the daily chart as the price neared $0.081.
Second, URPD data shows that about 36 billion DOGE previously traded near $0.081.
Third, whales appear to be buying near this support level, having accumulated 600 million DOGE since October 12.
If $0.081 holds and Dogecoin rebounds, Ali identifies the $0.16 to $0.17 range as a potential profit-taking zone. $DOGE

#美股存储板块跌幅扩大
The core question is whether this represents a healthy correction following a rally driven by artificial intelligence (AI), or the beginning of a deeper repricing process within the storage sector. Rather than buying simply because prices have fallen, it would be more prudent to focus on earnings expectations, memory pricing, and whether each company can maintain its profit margins.
My perspectives on storage sector stocks:
* Micron (MU): Monitor demand for DRAM and HBM, memory growth linked to AI, and gross profit margin forecasts. Strong AI demand could bolster earnings, though these expectations may already be priced into the stock.
* SanDisk (SNDK): Focus on NAND flash pricing, demand for enterprise SSDs, and the sustainability of any earnings recovery. NAND supply and price cycles can make this stock particularly volatile.
* Western Digital (WDC): Evaluate "nearline" (high-capacity/accessible) HDD demand from AI data centers, cloud computing expenditures, and free cash flow. The factors influencing HDD demand differ from those affecting NAND and DRAM.
* Seagate (STX): As data center storage requirements grow, keep an eye on demand for high-capacity drives, pricing power, and profit margins.
* Track NAND market conditions, enterprise SSD adoption rates, and the company's valuation relative to earnings expectations.
What signs might justify rebuilding a position? I would look at the following three points:
* Stabilization of fundamental indicators: A halt in the deterioration of memory and NAND prices, company forecasts, and earnings estimates.
* Confirmation through price action: Stocks forming higher lows and reclaiming key moving averages, accompanied by stronger trading volume.
* Attractive valuation: Expected earnings growth that justifies the current price, even under less optimistic scenarios.
A decline in a stock price is not, by itself, a buy signal. If earnings estimates are falling faster than the stock price, the valuation may not have actually become cheaper.
Rather than buying the entire storage sector indiscriminately, I prefer to differentiate between individual companies. While AI demand serves as a long-term tailwind, memory, NAND flash, and hard disk drives each have their own unique supply cycles, competitive pressures, and profit margins.
An important distinction: A pullback driven by profit-taking is fundamentally different from one caused by weak forward guidance or falling memory prices. The latter scenario warrants a much more cautious approach. Which of these stocks—MU, SNDK, WDC, or STX—are you following most closely? I can help you compare their valuations, earnings outlooks, technical levels, and the potential factors that could support a recovery.
