#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
