The Dogecoin price appears to be on a continued rebound, with bulls regaining 
some control over the market after weeks of sideways trading and downward 
pressure. However, the momentum is being tested as strong resistance builds 
around the $0.205 level. A recent analysis highlights this crucial zone and 
outlines the roadmap for Dogecoin’s next move. Dogecoin Price Recovery Faces 
Critical Resistance TradingView crypto analyst Lingrid recently shared a 
technical analysis featuring a classic continuation pattern unfolding for 
Dogecoin. The analyst revealed that the Dogecoin price is attempting a 
recovery after rebounding from a key ascending trendline and breaking out of a 
Falling Wedge pattern. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Ready For Next 500% 
Wave, Here’s The Target Following this, Dogecoin is now retesting the breakout 
level around $0.175, where both the wedge resistance and ascending trendline 
converge. The cryptocurrency has also formed a higher low structure on its 
price chart. Notably, this breakout zone is critical, as holding above it 
would confirm the breakout and set the stage for potential gains. Lingrid has 
revealed that traders are currently watching closely for continuation toward 
the next resistance area. The $0.19 level has been set as the next immediate 
breakout target, aligning with the top of the previous range and the midpoint 
of the broader resistance area. A push beyond $0.19 would open the door for a 
run toward the range between $0.2 &#8211; $0.21, a key resistance area where selling 
pressures could intensify. While Dogecoin’s structure remains relatively 
bullish with higher lows forming, Lingrid has also cautioned that overhead 
resistance near $0.19 and $0.2 could slow down the momentum. Notably, 
Dogecoin’s trading volume will also play a key role in its price action and 
future moves. As the price approaches the wedge apex, fluctuations in volume 
could either sustain the strength of the rally or weaken it. DOGE To Decline 
Further If Support Fails Since the beginning of this year, the Dogecoin price 
has recorded its fair share of unexpected price declines and volatility. While 
Lingrid’s analysis shares encouraging signs of a potential price recovery and 
bull rally, Dogecoin’s breakout remains at risk. Related Reading: Dogecoin 
Price Poised For Breakout Amid Accumulation, Here’s The Target If its price 
fails to hold the critical support zone at $0.175, especially with a strong 
candle close below this level, the projected breakout could be invalidated. 
This would, in turn, potentially lead to a steeper price breakdown toward 
$0.15, representing a 25% decrease from its current market value of $0.2. 
Lingrid also mentions that a failure to maintain buyer interest near the wedge 
apex and weakening volume could also contribute to market indecision, making a 
swift recovery less likely. As a result, traders are advised to watch the 
$0.175 zone closely as a key breakout point that will determine whether 
Dogecoin resumes its climb or faces renewed downward pressure. Featured image

Dogecoin Price Continuation Shows Rebound, But Resistance Is Mounting At $0.205

The newly launched DOOD token from Ethereum-based NFT project Doodles has seen 
a steep drop in market capitalization following its May 9 airdrop on the 
Solana network.
According to data from DEX Screener, DOOD&#8217;s market cap fell from over $100 
million shortly after launch to around $60 million at the time of writing.
Overall, the much-anticipated airdrop was &#8220;[d]efinitely underwhelming,&#8221; a 
crypto commentator said in a May 9 X post.

## Falling NFT values
Joining the trend, NFTs in Doodle&#8217;s flagship collection sharply dropped in 
value on May 9.
The collectibles are down roughly 60% to less than 1.5 Ether (ETH) per NFT 
from about 3.5 ETH on May 8, according to OpenSea. As of May 9, the NFTs are 
collectively worth around $31 million, according to data from CoinGecko.

NFT prices often dip immediately after an airdrop, as holders look to 
capitalize on their allocations by selling into the market. For instance, 
sales of Doodles&#8217; NFTs surged by some 97% on May 8 in anticipation of the 
airdrop.
Over the past week, Doodles clocked roughly $2.6 million in total sales 
volume, up more than 350% from the week prior, according to data from 
CryptoSlam.
Doodles announced its token launch in February, outlining plans to mint 10 
billion DOOD tokens on Solana (SOL) and to eventually bridge them to Base, an 
Ethereum layer-2.
Doodles is the latest Ethereum-native NFT brand to list a token on the Solana 
network. It follows Pudgy Penguins, an even larger NFT project that airdropped 
its PENGU token on Solana in December.
Similarly to Doodles, Pudgy Penguin&#8217;s token dropped by around 50% on the day 
of its airdrop.
The PENGU token&#8217;s market cap reached an all-time high of roughly $2.8 billion 
and has since traded down to roughly $900 million, according to CoinGecko.
