Crypto trader Kevin says Dogecoin is a few weeks away from completing its first golden cross in more than four years. In another tweet, he added that Dogecoin is "ready to moon" soon and he has the data to support it. He predicted,

"If we get a true bull this cycle then my price targets are .93 cents (Good performance) – $2.27 (Huge outperformance)  – $3.80 (Astronomical performance)."

Crypto Yapper noted Dogecoin has a falling wedge formation on the daily chart nearing an apex. He sets his breakout target at $0.20.
