Dogecoin’s multi-year bullish pennant tightens as RSI resets and MACD stabilizes, signaling rising pressure ahead of a possible breakout.
Dogecoin may be approaching a critical technical point as a major chart pattern continues to develop. Long-term price action shows the meme coin compressing within a tightening structure for several years. Oftentimes, such formations precede sharp moves once resistance breaks. According to crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade, Dogecoin’s monthly chart now displays a large bullish pennant that could lead to a strong breakout if confirmed.
Dogecoin’s 2021 Surge Forms ‘Flagpole’ of Massive Bullish Pennant
In an X post, Trader Tardigrade noted that the pattern became visible after Dogecoin’s historic rally during the 2020–2021 market cycle. During that period, the asset surged from fractions of a cent to an all-time high near $0.73. That explosive rise created the “flagpole” of the formation.

Zoom out — the bigger picture is insanely bullish.
This pattern has been forming for years, and it's holding well on the support last month. When this breaks to the upside, expect a massive surge 🚀… pic.twitter.com/qWEwZib8El

After the rally ended, price action shifted into a prolonged consolidation phase. Since then, Dogecoin has traded between descending resistance and rising support levels. These converging trendlines gradually formed the triangular structure typical of a bullish pennant.
When viewed on the monthly timeframe, the broader structure becomes easier to recognize. The upper boundary links several lower highs that formed after the 2021 peak. Meanwhile, the lower boundary connects higher lows recorded across the following market cycle.
As a result, price movement has continued to narrow over time. This tightening range often signals growing market compression. Traders frequently view such conditions as pressure building ahead of a larger move.
Support along the lower trendline has also held several times during the consolidation period. Most recently, Dogecoin bounced again from this ascending support level. That reaction strengthens the credibility of the pennant formation.
Each successful defense of this trendline suggests buyers are entering the market at gradually higher levels. Persistent demand at these levels has kept the broader structure intact despite wider market fluctuations.
Cooling RSI and Shrinking MACD Histogram Suggest Selling Pressure May Be Easing
Momentum indicators on the monthly chart also offer insight into Dogecoin’s current phase. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently positioned between the low-40s and upper-40s range. These readings indicate neutral momentum conditions.
By comparison, RSI moved well above 70 during the 2021 rally as strong buying pressure drove prices higher. Current levels suggest momentum has cooled significantly since that cycle. Such resets often occur during long periods of consolidation.

At the same time, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator still reflects some remaining bearish momentum. The MACD line remains below the signal line while red histogram bars continue to appear. However, those bars have gradually become smaller.
That shift suggests selling pressure may be stabilizing after the previous market cycle. In many long-term structures, MACD compression near the zero line often appears before a bullish crossover.
Trader Tardigrade also points to the extended duration of the pattern. Dogecoin has spent several years compressing within this formation following its explosive rally. Large pennants on monthly charts are relatively rare in cryptocurrency markets.
Historically, long consolidation structures can lead to strong volatility once resistance breaks. Dogecoin currently trades near the $0.09 region, far below its previous all-time high.
Even so, the broader pennant formation remains intact on the long-term chart. Price action continues tightening as Dogecoin gradually approaches the apex of the structure.
A breakout above the descending resistance line would confirm the pattern. In classical technical analysis, bullish pennants often signal a continuation of the trend. Analysts commonly estimate price targets by projecting the original flagpole’s height.
