The Dogecoin price has been defying broader market weakness by establishing a series of higher lows. Amidst the market downturn, technical indicators suggest that Dogecoin could be setting the stage for an explosive rally, with analysts predicting a 270% surge to a new price high.  Dogecoin Price Prepares For 270% Surge A Dogecoin price chart shared by crypto analyst Javon Marks reveals a critical shift in momentum. Following a prolonged downtrend that saw the meme coin’s price crash to significant lows, Dogecoin has now broken out of a descending trendline, signaling the potential end of its bear cycle.  Related Reading: Cardano Price Could Be Set For 100% Rally As This Bullish Triangle Has Formed On The Daily Timeframe Since reaching a cycle low, Dogecoin has consistently posted higher lows — a common sign of growing buying pressure and a steady uptrend. Following the formation of its latest higher low, Marks believes that DOGE is now positioned in a bullish set-up.  Historically, similar patterns have preceded parabolic moves in the Dogecoin price, suggesting that the meme coin could be gearing up for an uptrend continuation. According to Marks‘ analysis, if Dogecoin follows the established trend, the next impulsive wave could push its price to $0.653, marking an explosive 270% surge.  While past higher low formations support the likelihood of the analyst’s projected rally, Dogecoin’s recent breakout from the descending trendline reinforces its bullish structure. Marks also suggests that a climb to the $0.63 level could serve as a launchpad for Dogecoin, potentially driving its price even higher to $1.25 if its momentum persists. Despite the ongoing market volatility, DOGE continues to hold key support levels as it eyes a fresh breakout. Notably, a surge to the $1.25 target would mark an impressive 681.25% increase from the meme coin’s current market value of $0.16.  DOGE Faces Make Or Break Level According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, the Dogecoin price is currently at a make-or-break point, meaning that its next move could determine whether it sees a significant breakout or a sharp decline. Sharing a price chart highlighting Fibonacci retracements and trend channels, the analyst revealed that Dogecoin is sitting on a key ascending trendline that has acted as support since 2018.

If Dogecoin holds above this level, it could trigger a bullish continuation, with the next major Fibonacci extension level at $0.57. Surpassing this price mark could also propel Dogecoin to the 1.272 Fib at $2.77. On the flip side, if Dogecoin breaks below $0.16, the next major support lies around the 0.618 Fib at $0.06. The analyst’s chart also highlights a possible breakdown to $0.0066 or even as low as $0.0016 if bearish momentum persists. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

EigenLayer plans to start “slashing” restakers on April 17, resulting in the Ethereum restaking protocol’s “first feature-complete iteration,” it said in an April 2 announcement. Implementing slashing will mark EigenLayer’s final step toward establishing the protocol as “infrastructure for a new generation of verifiable apps and services built on the Verifiable Cloud,” it said in a post on the X platform.In 2024, EigenLayer started distributing rewards — including emissions of its native EIGEN token — to incentivize restakers. However, slashing has so far been limited to EigenLayer’s testnets.Once slashing is live, node operators and restakers will be able to voluntarily “opt-in,” resulting in a gradual transition for users, EigenLayer said in a blog post.Slashing starts on EigenLayer’s mainnet soon. Source: EigenLayerRelated: EigenLayer eyes consumer adoption post EIGEN unlock, founder saysGradual roll-outLaunched in 2023, EigenLayer secures third-party protocols — dubbed actively validated services (AVSs) — against a pool of “restaked” cryptocurrencies used as collateral. Restaking involves taking a token that has already been staked — posted as collateral with a validator in exchange for rewards — and using it to secure other protocols simultaneously. Slashing is the primary method for securing proof-of-stake protocols — including Ethereum as well as “restaking” protocols such as EigenLayer — and involves penalizing a network’s node operators for poor performance or misbehavior.“If Operators do not meet the conditions set, the AVS may penalize them. But, if the Operator runs the service successfully, AVSs can reward the Operator’s performance and incentivize specific activity,” EigenLayer said in an April 3 blog post. This “allows for a free marketplace where Operators can earn rewards for their work and AVSs can launch verifiable services,” the post said. EigenLayer’s total value locked (TVL) over time. Source: DeFILlamaGrowing ecosystemUpward of 30 AVSs are already live on EigenLayer’s mainnet, and dozens more are being developed.They include EigenDA — run by EigenLayer developer Eigen Labs — and ARPA Network, a protocol specializing in trustless randomization.In October, EigenLayer unlocked its native token, EIGEN. It is designed as a more flexible option for securing consensus-based protocols than other proof-of-stake tokens, such as Ether, according to EigenLayer.EigenLayer is prioritizing onboarding crypto-native apps in segments such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming before expanding beyond Web3, founder Sreeram Kannan told Cointelegraph in October. “We’re starting with the inside-out approach, focusing on high-throughput consumer apps like DeFi and gaming, but once we grow a little bigger and have critical mass, we’ll go outside and start targeting broader consumer markets,” Kannan said.Magazine: XRP win leaves Ripple a ‘bad actor’ with no crypto legal precedent set

An analyst has explained how Dogecoin could be at a make-or-break level right now based on a technical analysis (TA) chart pattern. Dogecoin Is Retesting The Lower Bound Of An Ascending Channel In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a TA pattern potentially forming in the meme coin’s 1-week price chart. The pattern in question is an Ascending Channel, which appears when an asset trades between two parallel trendlines slopped upwards. As the price curve moves inside the channel, it observes consolidation toward the upside. The upper line of the pattern acts as a ceiling, providing resistance when the asset retests it. Similarly, the lower line acts as a point of support. Related Reading: Dogecoin, XRP Among Coins Seeing The Largest Decline In Profit Supply: Data In the scenario that one of these levels breaks, the price can see a continuation of the trend in that direction. That is, a surge above the channel can be a bullish signal, while a drop under it is a bearish one. Now, here is the chart posted by the analyst displaying the Ascending Channel that the weekly Dogecoin price has been traveling inside for the last few years: As is visible in the above graph, the 1-week price of Dogecoin has recently witnessed a plunge to the support level of this multi-year Ascending Channel, situated around $0.16. The last time that the meme coin retested this line was last year and back then, the coin was able to find a successful bottom, which launched its price into a bull rally. Given this trend, the latest retest of the line could also prove to be crucial for the cryptocurrency, with the analyst even tagging the level as a ‘make-or-break’ one. As for the potential scenarios that this retest can lead to, the analyst has noted, “if $0.16 holds, a rally to $0.57 could follow. If it fails, a drop to $0.06 becomes likely.” These targets are based on the Fibonacci Retracement levels, which are lines that correspond to important ratios from the popular Fibonacci series. Fibonacci Retracement levels are taken from a specific price top, with the point of the top corresponding to the 1 level. From the chart, it’s visible that DOGE is currently trading almost exactly at the 0.786 level, making the asset’s current retest have another layer of significance. A breakdown could send the coin to the next retracement level, 0.618, which corresponds to the $0.06 target that the analyst has given.

It now remains to be seen how the memecoin’s retest would go. DOGE Price Dogecoin has had a bearish past day as it has dropped to $0.16 following a drawdown of more than 8%.

The cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, backed by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, plans to move into a Miami-area office space, as US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement case may have reached its end.According to a March 31 post from Sterling Bay Properties, Gemini signed a lease for an office in Miami’s Wynwood Art District. The move would expand the exchange’s offices from Europe and New York to Florida, where some crypto companies are headquartered.Bloomberg reported Gemini was expected to move into the Miami office by May. Cointelegraph reached out to the exchange for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.Wrapping up regulatory issues?The move to Florida came amid a federal judge ordering a 60-day stay on the SEC’s lawsuit against Gemini Global Capital “to allow the parties to explore a potential resolution.” The enforcement action, filed in January 2023, alleges the crypto firm offered and sold unregistered securities through its Gemini Earn program. Cameron Winklevoss said in February that the regulator had closed an investigation into a separate matter involving Gemini. The firm also agreed in January to a $5 million penalty imposed by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission over alleged “false and misleading” statements related to its 2017 bid to offer Bitcoin (BTC) futures contracts.Related: Crypto PAC-backed Republicans win US House seats in Florida special electionsGemini reportedly filed confidentially for an initial public offering (IPO) earlier this year. The exchange may have pursued an IPO as early as 2021 before shares of many US-based crypto firms were publicly traded. Several crypto firms have regional offices in Miami, possibly due to Florida’s seemingly favorable regulatory environment and the lack of state income tax for residents. Ripple Labs has an office in the Wynwood neighborhood, not far from Gemini’s future location, and BTC miner MARA Holdings is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale.Magazine: Crypto City: The ultimate guide to Miami
