Dogecoin (DOGE) is now printing its third-ever bearish MACD cross on the monthly chart, raising concerns about a potential prolonged slowdown in the altcoin’s price cycle.
According to Bitcoinsensus, this technical pattern has only occurred twice before—each time preceding notable downtrends.
In 2018, the bearish MACD cross led to a multi-month cooldown.
In 2022, the signal marked the onset of a full bear phase.
Now in 2025, the third cross is officially underway.
The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) is a widely used momentum indicator. When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, particularly on higher timeframes like the monthly chart, it’s typically interpreted as a bearish reversal signal. For Dogecoin, past crosses have aligned with major cycle tops and extended periods of price weakness.
Will This Time Be Different?
The tweet from @Bitcoinsensus cautions that while history suggests caution, “this time could potentially be different.” Still, the appearance of the bearish cross in 2025—amid broader market uncertainty and compression—should not be overlooked.
The chart attached highlights the three historical MACD crosses and their correlation with significant DOGE price retracements. With the third crossover now live, traders and investors are being urged to remain alert and watch for further confirmation of trend weakness.
Whether Dogecoin defies its historical trend this cycle or follows past patterns remains to be seen. For now, technical signals are warning of increased downside risk.
