When meme coins go parabolic, it’s usually a sign of a market peak and a warning that investor excitement is at its peak.

Although DOGE is only up 13.6% this year, last month’s 33.2% gain has put the asset on the radar of some analysts.

Take cryptocurrency trader Tony “Bull” for example. point out DOGE prices bounced back to the one-month Parabolic SAR indicator, which the trader said followed a move that subsequently rallied 23,000%.

For traders using technical analysis, the Parabolic SAR is often used to identify “stop loss and reversal” signals for an asset. Simply put, it is used to determine the price level at which an asset can stop in its current direction and begin a trend reversal.

Traders also point to Dogecoin’s Fibonacci levels as a guide to medium-term price direction. Citing the monthly time frame, the 0.618 Fib level of $0.12 has been identified as the medium-term target, while the 1.618 Fib level suggests $0.23 as the end point for the current DOGE swing trade.
