Dogecoin Head And Shoulders Pattern Suggests Surge To $0.23 With $1.65 Billion At Risk
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
After several days of indecisive movement, Dogecoin appears to be approaching a technical turning point. The cryptocurrency is currently trading near $0.17, with a slight 1.4% increase in the past 24 hours.
Technical analysis of the Dogecoin price chart shows that the meme coin is about to complete a classic head and shoulders pattern that would send it above $0.22 again. This comes as derivatives data shows that a break could trigger liquidations close to 1% of the $1.65 billion open interest in Dogecoin futures.
Head-And-Shoulders Formation Signals Break To Key Price Zone
According to an interesting technical analysis of the Dogecoin's price chart, the meme coin is forming a classic inverse head and shoulders pattern on the daily timeframe. This pattern is composed of a well-defined left shoulder in early March, a deep head formed by early April lows, and a developing right shoulder that appears to be stabilizing towards the neckline as of early May.
As shown on the chart below, the neckline of this inverse head and shoulders formation lies just above the $0.17 zone, particularly at the $0.1735 level. A successful break above this level could unlock millions in liquidations and would not only confirm the pattern but also clear the way for a larger breakout.

The chart also shows the potential of an AB=CD harmonic pattern that aligns with Fibonacci extension levels projected from the $0.131 low on April 6. The measured move is a CD playout that will see Dogecoin rise toward the 0.618 to 0.786 retracement levels, corresponding to price targets in the $0.22 to $0.23 range. If this pattern plays out in sync with the head and shoulders structure, it would imply a 35% rally from the current price level.

$1.65 Billion Open Interest Heightens The Stakes For A Dogecoin Rally
What makes this scenario especially high-stakes is the massive amount of open interest in Dogecoin's derivatives market. The $1.65 billion currently sitting in open positions suggests that even a modest price move can have a domino effect and a short squeeze.
If the Dogecoin price pushes above $0.1735, it could trigger over $14 million in short liquidations, representing about 1% of the $1.65 billion open interest currently held in Dogecoin futures. It would also activate the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders, putting a much larger bullish structure in motion.
Once the $0.18 resistance gives way, bulls could aim for the 0.618 Fibonacci level near $0.215 and ultimately the 0.786 level around $0.23. At this point, Dogecoin might face the next consolidation zone before bulls can target more upside to $0.35 and beyond.
At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1716, and the price point to watch is $0.1735.

Polling on Elon Musk glaring red light for Republicans
Even as Elon Musk and President Donald Trump no longer appear to be on speaking terms, the Tesla CEO's popularity among the Republican base is on the rise, according to polling. Trump and Musk's friendly relationship came to a dazzling end on Thursday as their disagreement over the Republicans' spending package went into full bloom. Musk called the bill, which significantly increases the deficit, a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump said his former friend had gone 'crazy' as Musk called for his impeachment and removal and claimed that the president is included in the 'Epstein Files.' He later deleted that post. While Musk isn't set to take over as the top figure in the Republican Party, he could create chaos surrounding the GOP's agenda and its plans for the 2026 midterms. Seventy-six percent of Republicans see Musk favorably, according to the most recent poll by The Economist and YouGov. Meanwhile, just 18 percent view him unfavorably. According to a poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena College in late April, 77 percent of Republicans view Musk favorably. Since the start of the second Trump administration, Musk's popularity has been over 70 percent in most polls, Politico noted. The billionaire is more popular than House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, or almost anyone else in the GOP. Among Republicans, both Trump and Vice President JD Vance are more popular than Musk, with 87% and 80% approval, respectively, according to the Economist/YouGov survey. Musk's polling strength with the Republican base may partly be rooted in the fact that GOP voters believed in the mission of the Department of Government Efficiency from the outset, with almost 90 percent backing the notion that the government needs to be downsized. A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that about the same percentage of Republicans believe that DOGE has been effective at scaling back spending. Meanwhile, Democrats and independents are less likely to trust DOGE's accomplishments and are much less likely to view Musk favorably. Fifteen percent of Democrats and 34 percent of independents have favorable views of the billionaire. Musk may become a dangerous rival for the Republican Party, whose values align with the DOGE mission of cutting spending and reducing the deficit. Musk's wealth and social media influence as the owner of X may pose a threat to Trump and his party. This comes as Trump told NBC News on Saturday that he has 'no intention' of speaking to Musk or attempting to repair the relationship. 'I'm too busy doing other things,' said Trump. 'I have no intention of speaking to him.' 'I would assume so, yeah,' he said when asked if his relationship with Musk was over. 'I think it's a very bad thing, because he's very disrespectful. You could not disrespect the office of the President,' he added. He also issued a threat, saying that Musk will face 'very serious consequences' if he chooses to use his significant wealth to fund Democrats. Musk's opposition to the spending bill could lead the billionaire to fund challengers to Republicans who voted in favor of it. 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that,' Trump told NBC News.

Vance Responds in Real Time to Musk's Trump-Epstein Bombshell
JD Vance has slammed Elon Musk for launching an all-out campaign of hate against President Donald Trump following the Tesla CEO's social media meltdown earlier this week. 'I just think it's a huge mistake for the world's wealthiest man, I think one of the most transformational entrepreneurs ever, to be at war with the world's most powerful man, who I think is doing more to save our country than anybody in my lifetime,' the vice president said. 'I just think you've got to have some respect for him and say, 'yeah, we don't have to agree on every issue',' he went on. 'But is this war actually in the interest of the country? I don't think so.' Vance's comments, made during a sit-down with podcaster Theo Von released Saturday, follow Musk lighting a match to his already fraying relationship with Trump on Tuesday, and then proceeding to pour several gallons of kerosene over the resulting blaze in the days since. The feud first kicked off after Musk described the president's 'Big Beautiful Bill', which contains spending proposals for many of the Trump administration's flagship policies, as 'a massive, outrageous, pork-filled[,] disgusting abomination' that threatens to 'defeat all of the cost savings achieved' by DOGE. Musk had led the White House government efficiency drive, taking an axe to federal programs and government departments as well as scything away an estimated two million federal jobs, until stepping down last week after reaching the 130 day limit granted to 'special government employees.' Things escalated drastically after Trump said Thursday he was 'very disappointed' by the tech broligarch's criticism of his administration's spending proposals, adding that 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore.' Musk responded later that night on X later that night, publishing a series of posts in which he lamented Trump's 'ingratitude' and claimed the president would have lost the election were in not for the estimated quarter of a billion dollars the Tesla CEO invested in his campaign. He later proposed the formation of a new political party, at one point appearing to position himself as a prospective leader of that movement, and even accused Trump in a now-deleted tweet of refusing to publish the full 'Epstein Files' for fear of revealing the alleged extent of his relationship with the deceased financier and convicted pedophile sex trafficker. Musk's increasingly erratic behavior also follows after a bombshell report by The New York Times on his alleged drug habits, which include reportedly abusing ketamine with such regularity as to have given him issues with his bladder, a common symptom of chronic use. Despite suffering perhaps one of the most spectacular public meltdowns in U.S. political history, vice president Vance appears to think there may still be scope for the SpaceX founder to eventually find his way back into Trump's good graces. 'Hopefully, Elon figures it out, comes back into the fold. I know the president was getting a little frustrated, feeling like some of the criticisms were unfair coming from Elon. But I think it has been very restrained, because the president doesn't think that he needs to be in a blood feud with Elon Musk,' Vance told Von on Saturday. 'I actually think that if Elon chilled out a little bit everything would be fine,' he added.

‘This is not over:' Tesla Takedown protesters keep pressure on Elon Musk despite DOGE exit
Demonstrations against tech billionaire Elon Musk are continuing, even after the Tesla CEO stepped away from his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency and engaged in an all-out feud this week with Donald Trump over the president's massive tax and domestic policy bill known as the 'big, beautiful bill.' Musk, who contributed $288 million to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, called the bill a 'disgusting abomination' just days after announcing he would leave DOGE, his federal cost-cutting project. As the two traded jabs, Trump threatened to cut government contracts for Musk's companies and Musk claimed that 'Trump would have lost the election' without him. Anti-Musk sentiment spilled onto sidewalks outside of Tesla showrooms with 60 demonstrations scheduled Saturday in cities such as Delray Beach, Florida; Louisville, Kentucky; and Decatur, Georgia, as part of the Tesla Takedown movement, which began in mid-February amid Musk's role with DOGE. At 11:30 a.m. ET, a crowd of about 30 demonstrators had gathered outside of a Tesla showroom on a rainy morning in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC. Attendance for the Tesla Takedown event was well short of the roughly 200 who showed up last week in Rockville, Maryland, according to local co-organizers Melissa Knutson and Sara Steffens, who cited the weather and Pride Month events for the lower turnout. 'This is not over because (Musk) decided to go home with his tail between his legs,' Knutson told CNN. The Tesla Takedown movement, according to its website, calls on people to 'sell your Teslas, dump your stock and join the picket lines' and believes that 'stopping Musk will help save lives and protect our democracy.' Tesla sales plunged 13% in the first three months of this year, the largest drop in deliveries in its history. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) dropped roughly 14% this week and are down nearly 47% from the high of $488.54 on December 18. Steffens said she 'was really encouraged' to see Tesla's stock plunge this week. 'It just shows none of this is normal,' she said. Musk, the world's richest man, has blamed a drop in sales on overall economic weakness and consumer uncertainty, though sales for competing EV models and other car companies rose. Neither Tesla nor Alex Winter, one of the initial lead organizers for Tesla Takedown, responded to CNN's requests for comment. Musk's exit from DOGE, his now-strained relationship with Trump, slumping Tesla sales and the drop in the company's share price do not mean the Tesla Takedown movement is ending anytime soon, according to attendees and organizers. After Musk announced he was leaving DOGE, the Bluesky account for Tesla Takedown called for protests on Saturday, June 28 (Musk's birthday), as a way of 'recommitting to the fight.' 'We are tired of the billionaire takeover and we are not letting up,' Knutson said. Steffens noted some protesters have called on pension funds to divest from Tesla. The public backlash is part of the reason that long-term institutional investors sent a letter to Tesla's board in late May raising concerns about the company. Many of the protesters in Georgetown on Saturday attended previous demonstrations and said they have no plans to stop protesting despite Musk's departure from DOGE. Jeanne Ferris told CNN that this was her fifth Tesla protest and that she agrees with organizers that 'Musk's tendrils' are still involved with the government. James Decherd said he attends protests almost every week because 'it's nice to be out with other people.' He added that he hopes to 'get people motivated' and 'mobilized.' Donna Powell says she and her husband have attended between 50 and 60 rallies against the Trump administration. She described Musk and Trump as 'billionaire brats having a tiff.' She does not expect Trump supporters to join the demonstrations as an act of solidarity with the president after Musk's attacks on X. She said Trump's base isn't 'the type to go 'anti-Musk.'' 'In the long run, (Trump and Musk) rely on each other, so they'll work something out,' said her husband, Don Powell. CNN's John Towfighi, Anna Cooban and Chris Isidore contributed to this report.
