Don't Buy DOGE Now.... Buy It Later.You know my style, I would never suggest to buy anything out of FOMO. I would never suggest to buy anything that is this high. But we can look at some interesting technicals and curves to get an idea what would be the next target.
I'm looking at a 0.11$ target here with a retracement of around 0.005$. Simply based on fractal like behavior where we see DOGE has been through very similar cycles already.

LONG CEOExpecting bounce from extremely oversold weekly and daily levels. If stop breached, be prepared to catch new daily reversal on lower levels with a tight stop.
Long GE Through 2022 In The ChannelGE is potentially working on it's third bull channel here thanks to their CEO; Henry Lawrence "Larry" Culp, Jr.
Larry had a fantastic history at Danaher corporation before moving into his current role.
Larry is highly incentivized to raise GE's stock price... He will net $47m for a 50% increase in price, and $300m for a 150% increase. I would expect him to figure it out...
Things get interesting past ~2022. If Larry is incentivized to hit ~$18, then what happens after he does so? I wouldn't expect a test of the last peak at ~$31.75. Will GE keep making lower lows?
$F in chatFord chart is pretty, and the company has made some big moves that should lead to futures success.
- New Bronco
- New CEO
- Underprice IMO
Long term slow grind up most likely. Im playing this as a long term hold may become a dividend bag holder.
Historical resistance needs to break but I think accumulating at these prices is easy picking.
Could easily see $9 IMO, might consider selling if we see $12

We are all waiting mostly for 2022 or 2023 for Bitcoin to hit a high of or over $250,000 but not according to Dan Morehead who is extremely optimistic with the price of Bitcoin going up 6,000% by mid-August of 2021. I don't know about ya'll, but I will take that price and date any day.

DOGE - Huge potentialOk Binance listing is finally confirmed. The former CEO of Dogecoin Elon Musk must be proud with this listing ;). Are we ready for the Moon? But wait hold you horses....Let's get back to TA. It seems that DOGE wants to make a S/R flip. 38 - 39 sat are important levels now. I think the probability that we go up to .382 fib level and beyond is more likely than the probability that we will go down.
I will buy a big back. Stop loss around 33 sat.
