It’s been a tough month so far for DOGE, the ticker for Dogecoin, the native cryptocurrency of the Dogecoin blockchain. Dogecoin was unable to muster sustained upside on Tuesday in wake of softer-than-expected US inflation data, failing in its attempts to push back above $0.095 after finding resistance at its 21 and 50-Day Moving Averages.

At current levels around $0.089, DOGE/USD is changing hands lower by around 2.3% on the day on Wednesday and is down around 4.0% this week and 16% this month. Price predictions thus remain subdued.
