The recent drop has caused Dogecoin to stagnate under its moving average 50 at $0.3574, underneath where it trades currently. The first sign of strength will be a break above this key level, in which Dogecoin might ascend to $0.40 and then to $0.43.
On the other hand, if the support at $0.305 fails, Dogecoin might drop to $0.27 and then to $0.23.
What's ahead for crypto markets?
Cryptocurrencies rebounded in the early Tuesday session as investors anticipated the Federal Reserve's first meeting of the year when interest rate decisions will be made. Dogecoin was mirroring this rise, up 6.47% in the last 24 hours to $0.334. 
Investors are looking forward to the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, and will closely monitor as the Fed delivers its latest monetary policy decision. However, expectations for a rate decrease remain low, with the Fed indicating at its last December meeting that only two rate cuts are planned for 2025.
According to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, traders have priced in a more than 97% chance that interest rates will remain steady.
