Several crypto traders expect Dogwifhat to build on the current momentum to initiate a sustained recovery toward all-time highs.
“$WIF is slowly climbing, and we have been silently accumulating it since support last month,” altcoin analyst Sjuul <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/AltCryptoGems/status/1838579893409300675" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">wrote</a> in a Sept. 24 post on X.
Meanwhile, crypto technical analyst Crypto Jobs said the WIF price was breaking out of a 180-day falling wedge, with $1.98 and $2 being key resistance levels to watch.&nbsp;
The descending trend line of the falling wedge $1.75 is acting as immediate support for the memecoin. The <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/here-s-3-ways-the-relative-strength-index-rsi-can-be-used-as-a-sell-signal" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">relative strength index</a> has risen from 53 to 66 between Sept. 22 and Sept. 23, suggesting that the buyers were dominating the market.&nbsp;

It is worth noting that WIF’s latest rally has seen it flip crucial levels into support, including the 50-day, 200-day and 100-day EMAs at $1.70, $1.80 and $1.85, respectively. Increased buying from these buyer congestion zones is likely to push WIF higher toward the bullish target of the prevailing chart pattern at $2.55.

A further 10% decline down to $1.80 would wipe out $13.63 million in long positions.

The surge in the price of Dogwifhat on Sept. 24 comes after a significant jump in its open interest (OI).&nbsp;
Open interest is a key metric that traders and analysts use to assess market sentiment and anticipate future price movements.&nbsp;
WIF’s OI rose to $315.95 million on Sept. 24, approximately 30.45%, up from $232.82 million a day prior on Sept. 23, according to CoinGlass data.

Note that the current 0.0073% eight-hour rate translates to a 0.05% cost over a seven-day period, which is not significant for traders building futures positions. Typically, when there is an imbalance driven by excessive optimism, the rate could easily exceed 1% per week over the next few days.
