Dogecoin (DOGE/USD) prediction as price defends key zone

Dogecoin has been in consolidation mode

The cryptocurrency trades near a key resistance

The meme token is a buy on potential breakout

If you have been looking to buy Dogecoin (DOGE/USD), get ready! The selling post-FTX collapse could be overdone as buyers have defended a drop at a key level for more than two weeks. However, it is not an outright buy, as further confirmations are needed.

The general crypto mood has been responsible for DOGE’s weakness. However, the meme token has also been hit by the lack of positive developments around the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk. Since the acquisition occurred, there have been little to no hints from the DOGE father on the use of the token as payment.

David Gokhshtein of Gokhshtein Media has shared thoughts that could interest the Doge community. Gokhshtein says he expects the Ethereum founder to team with Musk to work on a crucial upgrade of Dogecoin. The views come when Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum founder, has been commenting about the original Dogecoin. Buterin has suggested that the blockchain should shift to the Proof-of-Stake consensus. The Ethereum code will be used in the transition if it occurs.

On his part, Musk, in May, made attempts to improve the transaction system of DOGE. With the acquisition of Twitter, it could rekindle discussions around the upgrade if DOGE is to be accepted as payment.
