Many wonder if today’s Dogecoin rally is caused by the hype caused by Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter. The billionaire is a super fan of Dogecoin, and even a one-word tweet about the meme coin boosts its value.

But although this development makes investors ecstatic, they are strongly warned as the altcoin could soon experience a severe price correction.

However, a technical indicator for the altcoin bears bad news for investors profiting from its continued bull run.
Specifically, DOGE’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved into overbought territory, a telltale sign of an immediate and significant price correction.
While it is still possible for the token to reach the $0.17 marker, there is a strong possibility that it will slowly lose steam and eventually retest the $0.11 and $0.35 support levels.
At the moment, the volatility of Dogecoin is low. Therefore, its previously mentioned price “trends” might turn out to be true.
Investors need to keep an eye on this, especially those looking to buy now in hopes of profiting from successive price spikes.
