DOGE’s weekly average prices are set to confirm a bullish golden cross

Dogecoin (DOGE), the world’s biggest meme cryptocurrency by market esteem, appears to be making a beeline for a rehash of the bullish “golden cross” technical trend that foretold the mid-2021 surge. DOGE, which has a market cap of about $22 billion, has exhibited surprising execution this year, with a cost surge of more than 70% and fundamentally outperforming the close to half expansion in bitcoin (BTC), the most prominent cryptocurrency, as per CoinDesk data. The 50-week simple moving average(SMA) of the meme token’s spot cost is presently moving north and looks set to cross over the 200-week SMA in the forthcoming weeks, affirming a golden cross.
We can say this in another way: the nearest price velocity could soon reach and cross high to the long-term price velocity, which would likely envelop the long-lasting bullish trend.
