A crypto analyst known as Yomi has noted that the Dogecoin recent price action could turn bullish after this week. According to Yomi, DOGE is on the verge of creating a golden cross on its price chart, an event that could indicate the continuation of a major bull run. He noted the need for a green candle this week in order to start a new rally, which could be tough considering recent on-chain metrics and market fundamentals.
Dogecoin Flashing Weekly Golden Cross
The weekly chart for Dogecoin is flashing a golden cross, a bullish signal that occurs when the 50-week moving average crosses above the 200-week moving average. According to a weekly price chart shared by Yomi, this weekly cross looked almost completed just two weeks ago, as a price surge for DOGE in the past two months saw the short-term moving average approaching the longer one.
However, trader sentiment around DOGE has turned bearish since the beginning of April as the bulls struggled to push the crypto past the $0.22 mark, allowing it to form a price resistance level. Consequently, DOGE has gone on to form two weeks of bearish candles, which has derailed the completion of a golden cross.
Update on #Dogecoin pending weekly Golden Cross. We are still multiple weeks of upward price action away from achieving this bull market milestone. 2 red weeks in a row have cause us to deviate slightly also. Need green soon to get back on track! #DOGE #Altcoins pic.twitter.com/QfdFSR24Uc

Yomi observed that the formation of this bullish indicator has been pushed forward to multiple weeks of upward price movement. Furthermore, Yomi said all that’s needed is for DOGE to close higher than its open price this week and form a green candle to confirm the breakout and get back on track to a golden cross.
DOGE To Turn Bullish?
Dogecoin dropped by an astounding margin last week to spearhead the crash in the majority of meme coins. Interestingly, the crypto fell to as low as $0.13 in the middle of the week, representing a 33% decline from its opening price at the start of the week. During the price fall, crypto whale transaction tracker Whale Alerts noted the transfer of 600 million DOGE tokens worth $92.3 million from a private wallet into Binance, hinting at a potential sell-off from a DOGE whale.
However, all is not lost as Dogecoin price action has been showing green in the past day. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1669, up by 5% in the past 24 hours. If DOGE can close substantially above its weekly open of $0.1624, that would confirm the continuation of the journey to a golden cross and likely kick off a new uptrend.
Yomi noted in another post on social media that Doge will continue to tease a bullish price action in the longer term as long as it stays above $0.12 this week.
