The Dogecoin price is already struggling amid the bearish pressure that has dominated the crypto market recently. After the initial fall to $0.2, DOGE bulls had attempted to hold support, pushing for a rebound. However, with the bearish headwinds of the last quarter of the year, the Dogecoin price has since succumbed and is now trading below the $0.15 support level, and continues to struggle.
Despite the already troubling price performance, crypto analyst Weslad says that the worst might be yet to come. This is due to a corrective structure that has appeared on the meme coin’s price chart, and the result of this has been a bearish flag. As these technical developments unfold, the crypto analyst has warned investors of what to expect, outlining why the Dogecoin price could see a major crash while attempting to recover.
Dogecoin Price To Rise And Then Fall
The analysis, which was shared on the TradingView website, points to the bearish flag as a precursor of what is to come. Weslad explains that the bearish flag had triggered the Dogecoin price breakdown that had led to the downward leg. As a result, the sentiment has skewed negative so far, suggesting that there could be more declines to come.

However, the crypto analyst points out that the Dogecoin price is still well below its breakout zone. Given this, it is likely that there could be an initial relief rally for the meme coin. If this rally plays out, then there would be an initial decline below $0.12 to form support above $0.118. Once this support is established, then the resulting bounce is expected to push the Dogecoin price to $0.2.
Once this move is completed, though, the analyst predicts an even deeper crash on the horizon. From the $0.2 mark, Weslad’s chart shows that the Dogecoin price could decline another 70%, falling toward $0.05 in the process, which would mean a return to 2-year lows.

“The immediate plan is to monitor a pullback toward the minimum bearish flag targets around the $0.12 region, which aligns with the former structure support and breakout zone,” the crypto analyst said. This bottom area serves as a “supply on the retest” and could trigger the next decline.
For now, the analyst expects that the Dogecoin price will continue on its bearish path. This is dependent on the broader market performance, and so far, a breakdown looks to be more likely.
