Dogecoin (DOGE) has missed a much-anticipated technical upside target and is down nearly 10% over the past week amid an ongoing spat between Elon Musk and Twitter.<\/p>\n

Musk hurts DOGE price<\/h2>\n

To recap: Musk, whose companies Tesla, SpaceX, and Vegas Loop accept DOGE payments, had suggested introducing the same checkout option on Twitter this April.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the Musk-Twitter deal has turned sour after the billionaire attempted to walk away from his $44 billion takeover bid. In response, the platform has sued Musk, alleging that his heart changed after suffering personal losses in the ongoing global market carnage.<\/p>\n

Some Dogecoin traders had eyed Musk’s Twitter takeover to stay bullish on DOGE\/USD, considering the deal would boost the token’s adoption across the platform’s 330 million monthly active users. <\/p>\n

Dogecoin misses IH&S target<\/h2>\n

Dogecoin dropped by 19.5% after Musk called off the Twitter deal on July 8. In doing so, DOGE also invalidated its prevailing “inverse head and shoulders (IH&S)” pattern that could have pushed its price per token toward $0.112, as shown below.<\/p>\n

Bias conflict ahead<\/h3>\n

Dogecoin now holds above a multi-month “mid-channel support” near $0.06 while remaining indecisive for now, as shown in the chart below.<\/p>\n

DOGE’s price eyes $0.09 as the next target if it rallies decisively from the mid-channel support. The upside target coincides with the descending trendline (distribution level) that has been serving as resistance since May 2021.<\/p>\n

Conversely, a break below the mid-channel support could have DOGE’s price test $0.04 as its downside target, down 32% from today’s price. This level coincides with another descending trendline (accumulation level) that has acted as support for Dogecoin’s pric since April 2021.<\/p>\n
