The cryptocurrency market witnessed a sharp pullback recently, dragging major tokens into the red. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly dropped to around $104K, while Ethereum (ETH) slipped to $2,500, down from recent highs of $111K and $2,700 respectively. This broad correction impacted many memecoins —including Dogecoin (DOGE).
DOGE saw a double-digit weekly decline of over 15%, trimming its monthly gains to just 6%. But despite the weakness, technical signs suggest that DOGE might be setting up for a strong comeback.

Zooming into the 4-hour chart, DOGE appears to be following a classic “Power of 3” setup — a price pattern that unfolds in three key phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, and Expansion.
Accumulation Phase
From around May 11 to May 31, DOGE traded sideways in a tight range between $0.25 and $0.21, forming the accumulation zone. This phase is marked by indecision, where buyers and sellers battle for control — and smart money quietly builds positions.

Manipulation Phase
On May 31, DOGE sharply broke down below the range, falling to as low as $0.189. This move likely triggered stop-losses and panicked selling — textbook characteristics of the manipulation phase.
This dip may have been designed to shake out weak hands before a potential bullish reversal. If DOGE can hold the current support zone around $0.19, it may mark the bottom of the manipulation phase and the beginning of a bullish reversal.
What’s Next for DOGE?
If DOGE manages to reclaim the $0.21 level, it could mark the transition into the expansion phase. A confirmed breakout above the upper range boundary at $0.25 would further strengthen the bullish case.
The projected upside target based on the pattern sits around $0.32, suggesting a potential rally of 67% from current levels.
