Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Dogecoin, Ethereum & SEC – European Wrap 31 March

Will Dogecoin (DOGE) price pull an XRP and rally 60% next week?

Dogecoin price has been in a tight range bound movement since November 22. However, the recent recovery above the range low looks promising and hints at an explosive move for next week.

Dogecoin price formed a range, extending from $0.0705 to $0.0952 in November 2022. For roughly five months, DOGE has been trading in the aforementioned range, but the recent deviation below the range low, followed by a quick recovery, suggests that there could be a bullish move waiting to happen.
