THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Raoul Pal says two of crypto’s most-watched legacy altcoins—XRP and Dogecoin—are coiling for their next act. In a new X thread framed as “the Crypto Waiting Room,” the Real Vision and GMI co-founder argues that a broad swath of the market is consolidating before another leg higher, with capital already “full ported” into Ethereum and rotation risk building for assets lower down the stack. XRP And Dogecoin Are In The ‘Waiting Room’ “Let’s talk about the Crypto Waiting Room… many key parts of the crypto ecosystem are in the waiting room ready to launch,” Pal wrote, opening a chart-dense series that he says draws on Global Macro Investor’s probabilistic framework. He placed Total3—the market excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum—“ready to launch from the waiting room,” while stressing that “OTHERS (Outside of Top 10… purest form of Alts season where all shit rises) [is] still in the waiting room but longer to launch.” Related Reading: XRP Holds Golden Retrace At $2.90: Wave 3 Breakout To $5.4 In Sight He added, “ETH… Full Port. SOL… next to leave the waiting room… Sui in the waiting room, will follow SOL.” He was explicit on the two crowd favorites: “DOGE – in the waiting room. Will full port when OTHERS does…” and “XRP… in the process of Full Porting…” Pal’s “waiting room” metaphor is shorthand for a market structure he says rhymes with past cycles: liquidity first concentrates in the highest-quality, most institutionally accepted assets, then rotates down the risk curve as momentum broadens. “People need to learn patience. The path is clear… but never, ever expect tick for tick perfection. It’s the pattern that counts,” he cautioned with regards to the infamous M2 money supply chart, emphasizing that GMI’s approach is to seek “rhythm and rhymes of markets” rather than one-for-one chart overlays. “As ever, at GMI we are working with probabilistic frameworks and contextualisation… we use a framework of around 1,000 key charts which we then simplify and simplify.” The macro pillar of the thesis is liquidity. “The rate of change is only going to rise in the key metric of Total Global Liquidity… US, EU, China and Japan all need to roll debts,” Pal wrote, calling that confluence “an absurdly bullish backdrop, along with the reg changes, DAT’s and sovereign accumulation along with Wall Street acceptance.” In his timeline, the current crypto cycle “extends into Q1 2026 and possibly Q2 2026 due to slow business cycle forcing more liquidity for longer.” Or, as he put it more colloquially: “wen banana? We’ve been in it since Aug 2024 and the acceleration phase lies ahead.” Technically, the “waiting room” framing aligns with what long-horizon charts of XRP and Dogecoin have been telegraphing. Multi-year weekly structures on both assets show a repeating cadence of broad, descending consolidations that ultimately resolve into impulsive upside, followed by new, tighter coils beneath prior cycle highs.

The current phase features exactly that kind of triangular compression: XRP’s post-spring surge has bled into a small symmetrical triangle under its 2025 peak, while Dogecoin’s 2021–2024 falling channel gave way to a higher base that is now narrowing into a wedge. Pal’s point is not that breakouts are guaranteed or imminent on a given candle, but that the setup is consistent with earlier “pre-rotation” conditions. The investor also invoked cycle analogs without over-promising precision. “And it looks similar to 2017…” he noted, before repeating that GMI is “not looking for perfect matches.” The probabilistic takeaway, he said, is that the market remains in an expansionary regime, with breadth likely to improve as non-BTC/ETH segments clear their bases. “The only question is… will your bags go up or do you have the wrong allocation? That is up to you my friends. Buy the ticket, take the ride.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.84. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

After the market crash, the Dogecoin price suffered a decline to $0.2, which presented as a perfect opportunity for whales to get back in action. With the momentum rising for the meme coin, there are a number of factors that have been presented that suggest the price could more than double soon. Pseudonymous crypto analyst ProjectSyndicate highlights these catalysts in an analysis, showing what will drive the Dogecoin price to new yearly peaks. But First, A Retest Of The Reload Zone? Just like other digital assets in the space, Dogecoin features a low reload zone with lots of support that the price could retest before moving upward. In this case, the reload zone lies as low as $0.15, meaning that a failure to continue the uptrend could lead to a retest of this zone. Related Reading: XRP Price Holds Macro Consolidation Zone, Wave 3 Surge Could Send Price To $5 So far, the Dogecoin price has managed to escape testing this zone as the bulls continue to hold support. Initial support featured heavily above the $0.22 level. However, as bears have put pressure on this level with notable sell-offs, support above $0.2 remains the major zone. As the crypto analyst explains, the $0.15-$016 zone is the bottom of the Dogecoin accumulation range. It means that a breakdown from here would likely touch this level, making it the ideal spot to start getting into position before the Dogecoin price takes off again. Catalysts To Drive Dogecoin Price To New Peaks Outside of the reload zone, there are a number of factors that have positioned Dogecoin for a possible strong bullish move. The first here is the accumulation that has followed the price correction. So far, whales have been buying DOGE, marked by major withdrawals from exchanges. Another catalyst is the expectation of a Dogecoin ETF. So far, multiple firms have filed for a Dogecoin ETF, but none have been approved as the SEC continues to postpone its decision. But if an approval does come through, then the significant institutional inflow could drive the price higher. Related Reading: XRP Holds Golden Retrace At $2.90: Wave 3 Breakout To $5.4 In Sight The analyst also points to the DogeOS launch that allows Dogecoin users to take advantage of decentralized finance on the Ethereum network. This is another utility that has boosted Dogecoin’s popularity among investors and could help to prop up its price. On the technical side, the Dogecoin price is also throwing out bullish prospects, with a Golden Cross forming after the 50-Day Moving Average crossed the 200-Day Moving Average. Golden Crosses have often preceded strong bullish moves, and this time is expected to be no different. From here, the Dogecoin price simply has to hold above $0.15-$0.16, even in the case of a crash. If bulls can maintain this level, then the analyst expects price to reclaim $0.25, with the possibility of further upside to $0.34-$0.40, before expanding toward $0.55.

The higher-timeframe momentum gauges for Dogecoin are quietly resetting, and two widely followed chartists say the setup that preceded DOGE’s biggest advances is close to reappearing. In a new monthly chart, Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) stacks three market cycles and highlights a repeating structure: long, descending consolidations that resolve into impulsive breakouts, followed by measured Fibonacci 1.618 extension targets penciled far above the range. One Trigger Could Ignite Dogecoin’s Cycle Surge The present cycle has already cleared its multi-month falling wedge on the 1-month chart and, critically, completed a clean throwback: price pushed through the descending trendline, retested it from above, and turned higher, converting former resistance into support. On Kevin’s canvas, DOGE trades in the ~$0.23 area on the monthly scale, sitting beneath layered horizontal supply bands but above the wedge ceiling that capped it through the consolidation. Related Reading: Dogecoin Crash Incoming? Analyst Warns Bulls Are Out Of Time Momentum is the hinge of Kevin’s thesis. “Anytime we saw Monthly Stoch RSI crosses on #ogecoin outside of the bear market along with an uptrending Monthly RSI ultimately lead to massive rallies to the upside,” he writes. He adds that “the goal is to get the StochRSI to cross the 20 level and show follow through as anything below that level is a sign of weak momentum. Currently crossing to the upside and at the 13 level.” His lower panel draws a rising diagonal on the 1-month RSI—explicitly labeled “Higher Lows on 1M RSI”—to underscore that longer-term momentum troughs have been stepping up even as price coiled inside the wedge. Kevin also reiterates the inter-market backdrop he’s watching: “If BTC can move higher and not putter out on us and we ultimately get ETH into price discovery with a dropping BTC Dominance then like I have said before DOGE’s biggest move of the cycle is likely. Just need a little more time and for BTC and the macro to support the move. That’s the reality not engagement farming hopium.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Stalls Near $0.22: Analysts Say a Major Breakout Pattern Could Be Forming With the structural breakout and retest in hand, the remaining confirmation on his checklist is mechanical—see the monthly StochRSI reclaim and hold above 20 while the monthly RSI preserves its pattern of higher lows. On targets, Kevin has previously mapped an aggressive trio of Fibonacci extensions above the last cycle’s peak: 1.618 at $3.97, 1.65 at $4.33, and 1.703 at $5.00. In prior cycles on the same template, wedge resolutions were followed by vertical expansion toward comparable 1.618 objectives; these three levels now serve as forward waypoints should trend acceleration resume. Ichimoku Cloud Analysis For DOGE A complementary, mid-cycle lens from Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) uses 2-week candles with Ichimoku Cloud to track the transition. “It’s doing more or less what I thought it would do from 2 months ago,” he notes, “where it bounced off the cloud, reclaiming Tenkan (blue line) as support, and is trying to launch itself above the green Ichimoku cloud on the right.” In Ichimoku terms, that sequence—cloud bounce, Tenkan regain, then an attempt to clear the top of the forward green cloud—aligns with a shift from corrective to trending conditions on the 2-week timeframe and dovetails with Kevin’s higher-timeframe momentum trigger. Taken together, the two studies narrow the focus to a clear condition set. Tactically, the 2-week chart is pressing the cloud top after reclaiming the Tenkan as support. And cyclically, the 1-month StochRSI is curling up from ~13 toward the threshold Kevin considers decisive at 20 while the 1-month RSI maintains a series of higher lows. If those momentum thresholds are secured against a supportive majors tape—firmer BTC, ETH in discovery, and declining BTC dominance—the Fibonacci extensions at $3.97, $4.33, and $5.00 could be DOGE’s price targets for this cycle. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.223. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Dogecoin is back in the spotlight after a key technical move against Bitcoin hinted at renewed strength. The DOGE/BTC pair reclaimed ground following a liquidity sweep that shook out weak hands earlier this year. Analysts now believe this recovery could set the stage for a major rally. Related Reading: Sleepless In Crypto: $900-M Liquidated Amid Bitcoin’s Steep Fall Analysts See Big Upside For DOGE According to analysts, Dogecoin has broken above a former sell-side liquidity zone on the weekly chart. This level, between 140 and 160 sats, had acted as a critical support for months. By July 2025, the pair fell below that zone in what they called a “liquidity hunt,” an event where prices dip to trigger stop orders before reversing upward. According to Trader Tardigrade, the rebound is fueling optimism that DOGE might target higher levels soon. Tardigrade’s chart marks a potential climb toward 0.00000516 BTC, or about 516 sats. $Doge/ $BTC /Weekly The #Dogecoin to #Bitcoin pair has experienced a liquidity hunt and a rebound. It’s now holding strong above the previous sell-side liquidity level. The trendline anticipates a 3x pump for $Doge compared to $BTC. This aligns with the expected #Altseason in… pic.twitter.com/Mncw4FD0Sd — Trader Tardigrade (@TATrader_Alan) August 25, 2025 Based on current Bitcoin prices, that would translate to roughly $0.576, more than 300% above the liquidity sweep lows. Intermediate checkpoints sit at 280 sats ($0.31) and 360 sats ($0.40) before any run at that top target. Altcoin Season Back In The Conversation This outlook comes as talk of an altcoin season gains momentum. Historically, such periods see altcoins outperform Bitcoin after the leading cryptocurrency consolidates. Tardigrade suggested that Dogecoin’s move could align with this pattern, potentially acting as a trigger for wider market activity. DOGE’s recent rebound is significant because the coin had been under pressure for weeks. The current price stands near $0.21, down 4.41% in the past day and 7% for the month. Despite those short-term losses, technical analysts argue that structure matters more than daily fluctuations. DOGE market cap currently at $32 billion. Chart: TradingView Other Experts Weigh In Ali Martinez offered a different view for the short term. He pointed to a symmetrical triangle forming on the 4-hour chart and expects one more pullback toward $0.22 before a breakout. If the pattern holds, his targets include $0.26, $0.28, and $0.31 in the near term. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Slowed By Old-School Whales, Analyst Warns Other experts see a longer horizon, comparing the current setup to past Dogecoin cycles in 2014, 2017, and 2021. Each major rally followed a similar accumulation phase. They believe the token could rise more than 3x from current levels, even surpassing the $0.7396 all-time high. The market now watches for confirmation. If the breakout signals strengthen and altcoin season returns, Dogecoin could once again become one of the market’s biggest movers. Whether that happens in one surge or through stages, analysts agree that this meme coin’s story isn’t over yet. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Dogecoin’s near-term uptrend may be running on fumes, with crypto analyst Kevin (Kev Capital TA) warning that a breakdown is already in motion and that the memecoin’s bull case now hinges on a thin band of support around $0.20. In a late-August 25 livestream, Kevin argued that DOGE’s structure has deteriorated into a classic post-rally trap while its fate remains tethered to Bitcoin’s next move. Dogecoin Bulls Cornered “This chart’s not really in control of its own destiny. It’s going to follow what Bitcoin and ETH do, mainly Bitcoin,” he said, adding that the setup turning heads on his screen was a “symmetrical triangle pattern… which is not bullish after an up move. It’s bearish. It’s typically [going to] break down,” a process he said appeared to be underway during the stream. The levels, in his view, are now brutally simple. On the top side, the “major level… remains the same,” with the golden-pocket resistance still parked at $0.285–$0.261. That band has capped impulse attempts since Q1 and, alongside higher Fibonacci checkpoints—0.703 at ~$0.329 and 0.786 at ~$0.413—defines the ceiling that bulls have repeatedly failed to clear with authority. Related Reading: Dogecoin Stalls Near $0.22: Analysts Say a Major Breakout Pattern Could Be Forming On the downside, Kevin marked $0.195–$0.189 as “a major support zone,” aligning the 0.5 Fib around ~$0.189 with DOGE’s trend MAs. “You’re even in support right now via the 100 EMA and daily 200 EMA,” he noted, while pointing to the 200-day SMA near ~$0.198 and a rising channel that has seen “multiple taps to the high and the low.” Lose that $0.19–$0.20 cluster, he warned, and the path of least resistance shifts quickly lower: “If Dogecoin loses that, very likely [it’s] coming back down to the trend line… anywhere from 16 cents,” with deeper legacy supports around $0.147, $0.137, and “the $0.14–$0.127 zone” described as the “big big support.” In other words, the “crash” risk Kevin is flagging is less about sensational downside targets and more about the mechanical nature of DOGE’s structure if $0.19 gives way: a vacuum to the channel base near $0.16 first, then prior demand shelves if momentum accelerates. Related Reading: Dogecoin About To Explode? On-Chain Models Hint At A Massive Rally Context matters, and Kevin stressed that DOGE beta is overwhelmingly macro-driven inside crypto. When Bitcoin rallies while Bitcoin dominance falls, DOGE can rip—“Dogecoin had a phenomenal day” on a recent Friday, he said, citing a roughly 11–12% surge when BTC rose ~3.5% and dominance slid more than 0.7%. But “if ETH is outperforming and it’s in ETH season, you’re not going to get massive Dogecoin performance,” he cautioned, explaining much of DOGE’s relative lethargy while Ethereum-linked majors and ETH-beta names have led flows for months. Kevin’s tactical roadmap is therefore stark. First, respect the $0.195–$0.189 shelf as the line between a controlled pullback and a disorderly trendline test. Second, accept that the upside will likely remain capped beneath $0.285–$0.261 until Bitcoin resolves higher and dominance sustainably bleeds. Third, avoid the classic liquidity trap of buying emotional spikes into resistance. “Don’t buy altcoins at the highs,” he said. “Allocate into ones that are at major support,” and do it in small, risk-aware increments rather than overextending into weakness. The analyst’s bottom line for Dogecoin is blunt and time-sensitive. The post-rally triangle has already begun to fracture; the $0.19–$0.20 belt is “the lifeline.” Hold it and DOGE can stabilize inside its rising channel while it waits for a friendlier Bitcoin-led tape. Lose it, and “a crash” in Kevin’s definition—an accelerated move toward ~$0.16 and, if pressure persists, the mid-teens support stack—is the next chapter. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.21.

Dogecoin started a fresh decline below the $0.220 zone against the US Dollar. DOGE is now consolidating and might dip further below $0.2050. DOGE price started a fresh decline below the $0.220 level. The price is trading below the $0.2150 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.2160 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The price could start a fresh upward move if it stays above the $0.20 zone. Dogecoin Price Dips Again Dogecoin price started a fresh decline after there was a close below $0.2320, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. DOGE declined below the $0.220 and $0.2150 support levels. The price even traded below $0.210. A low was formed at $0.2059 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave but the price is still below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.2672 swing high to the $0.2059 low. Dogecoin price is now trading below the $0.2150 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. If there is a recovery wave, immediate resistance on the upside is near the $0.2160 level. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.2160 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair. The first major resistance for the bulls could be near the $0.2280 level. The next major resistance is near the $0.2365 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.2672 swing high to the $0.2059 low. A close above the $0.2365 resistance might send the price toward the $0.2450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.250 level. The next major stop for the bulls might be $0.2550. Another Decline In DOGE? If DOGE’s price fails to climb above the $0.2160 level, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.2060 level. The next major support is near the $0.2020 level. The main support sits at $0.20. If there is a downside break below the $0.20 support, the price could decline further. In the stated case, the price might slide toward the $0.1880 level or even $0.1820 in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for DOGE/USD is now gaining momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for DOGE/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $0.2000 and $0.1880. Major Resistance Levels – $0.2160 and $0.2280.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading near $0.22, caught in a tightening range that has traders eyeing a potential breakout. The memecoin dipped 5% over the past 24 hours, holding flat on the weekly chart, while trading volume crossed $3 billion. Related Reading: Here’s What Powell’s Possible Rate Cuts Could Mean For The Shiba Inu Price On the 4-hour chart, DOGE has formed a symmetrical triangle pattern, a technical setup often signaling an explosive move once price escapes the structure. Analyst Ali Martinez noted that the asset is nearing the lower boundary of this formation. He suggested that “one last dip before the breakout” may occur, with support at $0.22 and resistance at $0.24–$0.25. A push above this resistance could target $0.26, $0.28, and $0.31, while a breakdown below $0.22 risks testing $0.21 and $0.19. Analysts See a Dogecoin (DOGE) Breakout Potential Trader Tardigrade applied Elliott Wave Theory, identifying DOGE in the final leg of a correction that typically precedes a strong motive wave. This pattern has historically led to trend continuation, raising expectations of a rebound toward $0.30 or higher if buyers reclaim control. Meanwhile, chart analyst Umair emphasized the $0.25 level as a crucial pivot. According to him, “recovering this will lead to 31c,” while failure to hold could drag DOGE back toward $0.1949. DOGE's price records major losses on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Technical indicators also reflect this uncertainty. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits near 57, suggesting balanced momentum without overbought pressure. Price remains squeezed between a rising trendline and horizontal resistance, awaiting confirmation of direction. Market Sentiment and Catalysts Market sentiment around Dogecoin is mixed. Data from MarketProphit shows cautious optimism among traders, though broader models remain reserved. External factors are also adding intrigue: the Federal Reserve’s softer stance on crypto banking has boosted sector sentiment, while Thumzup’s $50M acquisition of Dogehash positions the company as the largest Dogecoin mining operator to date. On lower timeframes, analysts have also flagged a potential 2-hour bull flag pattern, though its validation depends on DOGE’s ability to close back within the flag zone. If confirmed, this could strengthen the bullish case for a rally beyond $0.25. Related Reading: This Week In XRP: Ripple CTO Set To Announce Important Update For now, Dogecoin is at a crossroads.

Technical analysis shows Dogecoin is about to confirm a support on the weekly candlestick timeframe chart after managing to hold up above $0.21 in the past week. After several weeks of mixed sentiment between bulls and bears, Dogecoin’s price action now seems to be shifting in favor of buyers, and price action on the weekly timeframe is now showing a convincing bullish setup.  This trend was highlighted in a technical analysis from TradingView analyst MasterAnanda, who noted that Dogecoin’s confirmation above some exponential moving averages is key to a midterm price target of $1.85. Related Reading: Crypto Strategist Sounds The Alarm: Bitcoin Surge Could Clash With Fed Reserve Goals Strong Support Holds With Dogecoin Above EMAs The chart posted by MasterAnanda shows that Dogecoin has now traded above the EMA8, EMA13, and EMA21 for four consecutive weeks. This alignment of exponential moving averages, as shown in the chart below, has always been the start of powerful upward moves in Dogecoin’s price. Each time the price has managed to hold above these averages on the weekly chart, it has paved the way for sustained rallies.  For instance, in October 2023, the alignment of these moving averages preceded a steep rally that pushed DOGE higher in the following months. A similar development was seen between September and October 2024, when Dogecoin climbed aggressively after maintaining its position above the same set of EMAs. Now, it seems recent market dynamics have seen Dogecoin establishing strong support above $0.21. The analyst described this confirmation of support as the moment that ends any lingering doubt, and traders who are waiting for signals of market strength can now see that the technicals point decisively upward. According to the chart, this support is acting as the launchpad for a higher high, and the probability of an extended bullish run is increasing with the continued increase in trading volume. Chart Image From TradingView: MasterAnanda Next Dogecoin Target At $1.85 The sentiment among Dogecoin traders had been divided in recent weeks, with some traders leaning bearish while others maintained bullish expectations. This divergence of opinion is not unusual, as crypto analysts and traders frequently oscillate between these opposing views. Now that the support has been confirmed and Dogecoin is sustaining momentum above these exponential moving averages, the only thing left is for Dogecoin to continue trading with high volume.  In this case, MasterAnanda projected multiple intermediate targets at Fibonacci extension levels before a final price target of $1.85. The first price target is at $0.31 (0.382 Fib level), then $0.48 (0.618 Fib level). Breaking beyond this level would translate to a break above a strong resistance that stopped Dogecoin in its tracks in December 2024.  Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Next Stop For 2025? $175,000, According To SOL Strategies Boss The next target after $0.48 is above the 2021 all-time high of $0.7316, at $1.16, which corresponds to the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. Clearing this level would pave the way for the ultimate midterm target of $1.85 at the 2.618 Fib extension level. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was trading at $0.2324.

According to crypto analyst Cas Abbé, Dogecoin’s current movement suggests it is stepping into a new expansion phase after an extended period of accumulation. This development comes after months of relatively muted sentiment with strong price support, which now appears to be forming the groundwork for another strong breakout. Notably, technical analysis of various charts tracking Dogecoin’s hash rate, CVDD levels, alpha pricing, and network stress index provides context to this technical outlook, which might see Dogecoin surge to new price highs. Signs Of An Expansion Phase In Dogecoin Taking to the social media platform X, crypto analyst Cas Abbé explained a few reasons as to why the Dogecoin price is about to enter into an expansion phase. The first being that Dogecoin has been trading inside a wide accumulation range in the past few months. This base has been at the $0.20 price level since the beginning of August. This type of prolonged base-building is mostly always known to precede sharp upward moves, as it reflects the gradual buildup of strong demand. Furthermore, the analyst noted that the current breakout attempts are backed by rising trading volume, which he interpreted as institutional accumulation. This is unlike past Dogecoin bull cycles, which were mostly based on retail hype. Technical momentum indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are currently in a mid-range position, and this means that Dogecoin still has significant room to climb before hitting overbought conditions. Another factor is the Dogecoin mining hash rate chart. As shown in the image below, the hash rate has been rising massively since the beginning of 2025, showing that network strength has been steadily climbing even during price consolidations and declines. Historical Patterns Back Expansion Outlook One of Abbé’s key points is that Dogecoin’s price cycles have consistently followed a similar pattern of long sideways stretches followed by sudden vertical expansions. This cycle structure can be seen in the cumulative value days destroyed (CVDD) chart. As shown in the chart below, Dogecoin’s price action stayed well within its accumulation zones before breaking higher in 2018 and then in 2021. However, unlike the peaks in 2018 and 2021 where on-chain metrics were overheated, current conditions are calm, which shows more of genuine accumulation rather than profit-taking and distribution. The expansion phase is not about short-lived spikes but rather the start of a new directional trend that could redefine Dogecoin’s price structure. Although the analyst did not define a price target, technical analyses from other analysts point to price predictions that will take the Dogecoin price well above its 2021 peak of $0.7316 into the $1 threshold and beyond. A similar analysis by crypto analyst Javon Marks points to a Dogecoin price target of $1.25. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.237, up by 9.5% in the past 24 hours.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is again drawing attention with new analysis from an investment data analysis platform, Alphractal points to strengthening network metrics that could pave the way for a significant price breakout. With miners driving hash rate levels toward record highs and long-term valuation models signaling room for growth, the popular meme coin appears to be building a solid base for its next potential move higher. Dogecoin Market Metrics To Spark Breakout In an X social media post on Thursday, Alphractal highlighted that Dogecoin’s underlying blockchain strength may set the stage for a potential breakout. Despite being one of the most volatile assets in the crypto market, Dogecoin’s mining network continues to showcase resilience, with hash rate activity trending toward record highs.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Targets $1.25, But This 170% Move Is The Start The latest data shows that Dogecoin’s mean hash rate has steadily climbed since 2020, closely mirroring its price growth, and signaling that miner commitment has persisted and intensified even during long consolidations. This level of mining participation demonstrates miners’ continued confidence and reflects the DOGE network’s growing robustness. With hash rate trending near its highest historical levels, the meme coin’s security and transaction reliability remain well-supported, mitigating concerns over structural weakness.  At the core of Alphractal’s analysis is its newly developed Network Stress Index, a metric designed to gauge blockchain health by combining multiple key stress indicators. Higher readings on the stress index typically point to turbulence or instability, while lower values reflect a balanced and secure network environment. Recent readings show that Dogecoin’s network is currently stable, with no immediate signs of systemic stress, opening the door for potential upward momentum. The resilience of Dogecoin’s network metrics may also play a key role as it continues trading around what Alphractal calls the True Market Mean Price. As DOGE consolidates within this range, a strong foundation is being built for a potential breakout that could drive the meme coin toward its next major price milestone.  Alpha Price And CVDD Highlight DOGE’s Long-Term Upside Beyond network resilience and hash rates, Alphractal’s models, such as the Alpha Price and the Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD), provide deeper insights into Dogecoin’s valuation potential. The Alpha Price acts as a sentiment-driven gravitational model, capturing where the asset should trade relative to broader psychological and technical conditions. Related Reading: Dogecoin Open Interest Remains Above $3 Billion, Can Bulls Take Control? Historical alignment between Dogecoin’s market price and the Alpha Price suggests that this model often serves as a reliable compass during rallies and corrections. Meanwhile, the CVDD model has been one of the most accurate indicators for identifying long-term tops and bottoms in UTXO-based blockchains like Dogecoin, Bitcoin, and Litecoin.  According to Alphractal, current CVDD readings for Dogecoin highlight how the price is consolidating between the lower and upper bands, mirroring patterns seen ahead of previous major rallies. The analysis reports that the CVDD top currently sits at around $0.54, but this threshold could rise as dormant coins begin moving back into circulation. This dynamic is expected to drive the DOGE price to $1, particularly if heightened network activity sparks a new wave of speculative demand.

An emerging set of on-chain and market structure signals suggests Dogecoin could be coiling for a fresh advance, according to analytics platform Alphractal, which published a new chart pack and methodology notes on X on August 21. The firm argues that miner resilience, a stable “Network Stress Index,” and model-derived bands such as Alpha Price and CVDD have lined up in a way that historically preceded major DOGE trend accelerations. $1 Dogecoin Back In Play? “Dogecoin’s miners remain incredibly resilient, with hash rate activity pushing toward record highs,” Alphractal wrote, before posing the core question animating its latest study: “Could trading around True Market Mean Price and models like Alpha Price and CVDD pave the way for a potential new all-time high in DOGE?” At the foundation of the call is a composite gauge the firm calls the Network Stress Index. It blends three dimensions of chain health and pressure—“Fee Stress (fees / market cap – 40% weight), Hash Stress (30-day hash rate volatility – 30% weight), [and] Supply Stress (7-day active supply volatility – 30% weight).” Related Reading: Dogecoin Targets $1.25, But This 170% Move Is The Start As Alphractal summarizes the read-through: “Higher values suggest potential instability or major transitions. Lower values reflect a balanced network across economic, security, and activity dimensions.” In the current regime, the firm says the indicator “signals stability — showing no warning signs of network risk.” Beyond raw network conditions, Alphractal overlays two valuation and cycle tools it says have been reliable for UTXO chains such as DOGE, Bitcoin and Litecoin. “Our Alpha Price model works like a magnetic force for sentiment,” the firm noted, describing a behavioral anchor that price tends to respect over time. It pairs that with an adjusted version of Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD), a metric that tracks the age-weighted value of coins moving on-chain. “Our advanced CVDD adjustment has proven to be one of the most accurate tools for identifying tops and bottoms in UTXO blockchains like DOGE, BTC, and LTC,” Alphractal wrote. Where those models sit today is central to the thesis. “Currently, the CVDD Top sits at $0.54, but it can climb higher as dormant Dogecoins move — potentially pushing targets above $1,” the post states. The implication is explicitly conditional: if a rally entices long-inactive supply to circulate, the top band would ratchet upward, turning $0.54 from a ceiling into what Alphractal calls “just the starting floor, with euphoric network activity driving further upside.” The firm frames miner posture as a reinforcing pillar. With hash rate activity “pushing toward record highs,” the view is that security spend and miner participation leave the network well positioned “for a surge in global demand.” That strength, together with price action clustering near what Alphractal labels True Market Mean Price, is presented as the setup phase that has preceded prior Dogecoin expansions on the attached Network Stress, Alpha Price, and CVDD charts dated August 21. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bull Run Over? Don’t Bet Against This Chart, Says Analyst Even so, the message is not unqualifiedly bullish. Alphractal closes with a risk caveat tailored to crypto’s current market microstructure: “This opportunity may be sustainable… Still, with leverage building across crypto markets, traders must remain cautious of sudden traps and mass liquidations as DOGE gains momentum.” In other words, while the model complex sketches a constructive backdrop, positioning and derivatives dynamics could inject sharp downside shocks along the path. Taken together, Alphractal’s work posits a simple, testable roadmap: a stable network, resilient miners, and price hewing to historically meaningful on-chain bands create room for upside, with the CVDD “Top” currently marked at $0.54 and mechanically capable of rising toward and “above $1” if dormant supply awakens. Whether Dogecoin converts that setup into a full breakout will hinge on the interplay between organic spot demand and a leveraged market prone to abrupt squeezes in both directions. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.218. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Dogecoin started a fresh decline below the $0.2320 zone against the US Dollar. DOGE is now consolidating and might dip further below $0.210. DOGE price started a fresh decline below the $0.2250 level. The price is trading below the $0.2250 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.220 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The price could start a fresh upward move if it stays above the $0.2080 zone. Dogecoin Price Dips Further Dogecoin price started a fresh decline after there was a close below $0.240, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. DOGE declined below the $0.2320 and $0.2250 support levels. The price even traded below $0.2120. A low was formed at $0.2078 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.2430 swing high to the $0.2078 low. Dogecoin price is now trading below the $0.2250 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. If there is a recovery wave, immediate resistance on the upside is near the $0.220 level. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.220 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair. The first major resistance for the bulls could be near the $0.2250 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.2430 swing high to the $0.2078 low. The next major resistance is near the $0.2320 level. A close above the $0.2320 resistance might send the price toward the $0.2450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.250 level. The next major stop for the bulls might be $0.2550. Another Decline In DOGE? If DOGE’s price fails to climb above the $0.2250 level, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.2120 level. The next major support is near the $0.2080 level. The main support sits at $0.2050. If there is a downside break below the $0.2050 support, the price could decline further. In the stated case, the price might decline toward the $0.20 level or even $0.1920 in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for DOGE/USD is now gaining momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for DOGE/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $0.2120 and $0.2050. Major Resistance Levels – $0.2250 and $0.2320.

The Dogecoin question of the summer—whether the crash is finally over—met a hard-edged reality check in crypto analyst VisionPulsed’s August 20 video analysis. Stripping away “bullish propaganda,” he argued that Dogecoin will not meaningfully trend until two outside markers flip decisively risk-on: Ethereum crossing its all-time high and the Russell 2000 clearing its own peak. “We’re bearish until the Russell breaks the high and we’re bearish until ETH breaks the high,” he said, adding that the absence of those breakouts explains why familiar cycle cues have failed to ignite altcoins this time. Is The Dogecoin Crash Over? VisionPulsed opened with deliberate satire—“daily dose of bearish because it’s always bearish forever and ever”—but moved quickly to the data. He noted Dogecoin has printed higher lows and higher highs since October 2023, yet the tape has been locked in drift for months: “The price of Dogecoin has not done anything for almost 7 months now… we’re at 175 days of sideways.” He framed that range as potential accumulation by analogy to prior long compressions, observing that earlier multi-month stalls preceded sharp expansions: “In the big picture, one would consider that to be bullish… This one was massive, like 400 days of sideways… we might even be [in] accumulation, if you will.” The analyst’s core contention is that historical triggers that once synchronized altseason have broken down in this cycle. He revisited two now-faded playbooks: post-halving timed runs and the “BTC makes ATH → DOGE follows” sequence. “If we look at the halving… Dogecoin [historically] went to the moon about 240–260 days post-halving,” he said. “Right now… we’re almost at 500 days post-halving and there’s still no shot on the moon.” Likewise, Bitcoin tagging fresh highs has not transmitted to DOGE: “Bitcoin breaks the high, Doge makes a new all-time high… Bitcoin breaks the high, nothing happens. We’re still bearish.” In his view, that leaves only two unfulfilled, cycle-consistent conditions—Ethereum and the Russell 2000 at record levels—before declaring an altseason regime change. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gets $153.8 Million Boost With This Latest Acquisition Market leadership and “dominance” dynamics are part of his diagnosis. On his charts, previous attempts by the Russell 2000 to push through the top coincided with a decline in dominance, a pattern he says could help unlock altcoin breadth. But he cautioned that a failed breakout would likely reset the clock: “Everybody thinks this is altseason, but the dominance is going to go back up because the Russell is going to go down? It’s very possible.” Until the equity small-cap gauge and ETH both clear resistance, he prefers “optimistic” to “excited.” Even as he dismantled over-promotional narratives—“the data doesn’t actually support [‘biggest altseason of all time’]”—VisionPulsed did outline the only scenario he’s willing to call “hopeium.” He mapped the Russell 2000 “getting close to the all-time high” alongside ETH “also getting close to the high,” pairing that backdrop with DOGE’s compression as the same setup that preceded prior impulsive legs: “Once the Russell gets over the high and once Ethereum gets over the high, I’m going to start getting very excited. But until then, we’re not there.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Bull Run Over? Don’t Bet Against This Chart, Says Analyst That sobriety extends beyond price. He pointed to dwindling engagement as a sentiment tell: “It’s very possible that at any moment the videos will start getting below 2,000 views… There’s nobody here. Google Trends back that up.” In his reading, the absence of retail heat is consistent with an unresolved cycle transition rather than a coiled spring already in motion. The conclusion landed where it began: Dogecoin’s crash narrative cannot be retired on crypto-native signals alone. Without concurrent breakouts in ETH and the Russell 2000, he argues, DOGE remains range-bound and the altcoin complex underpowered relative to past cycles. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.21757.

Dogecoin, despite being held up around the $0.21 to $0.23 price zone, has seen its user base grow with adoption among crypto investors of all types. Notably, on-chain data shows that Dogecoin has now surpassed 8 million in terms of addresses holding a non-zero balance. On‑chain analytics from Santiment reveal that Dogecoin has risen from approximately 6.9 million holders earlier in 2025 to the latest 8 million milestone. Only Ethereum and Bitcoin exceed Dogecoin when it comes to user base size. Dogecoin Holder Count Keeps Surging The momentum behind Dogecoin’s adoption shows no sign of slowing down, and the number of addresses holding the meme cryptocurrency is now above 8 million. This trend in Dogecoin holders stems from the cryptocurrency increasingly becoming the go-to asset for many retail traders. This, in turn, has seen the number of Dogecoin holders continue to surge this year, especially as retail investors start to transition from other large market-cap cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which many now argue is the crypto for institutions.  Related Reading: 4-Year Cycle Says Dogecoin Price Will Reach $1, Here’s Why Although Dogecoin also saw a huge growth in the number of holders in 2024, the growth in 2025 is outpacing the trend seen in 2024,  To put this into perspective, it took the whole year to add 1 million new DOGE holders in 2024, whereas in 2025, the same milestone has taken less than eight months. This is a substantial increase from about 6.9 million holders in the beginning of 2025. The latest figures place Dogecoin well ahead of other large market cap cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and XRP, as well as major stablecoins including USDT and USDC, in terms of total holder count. Only Ethereum, with about 148 million addresses, and Bitcoin, with around 55 million, surpass Dogecoin’s adoption levels. DOGE Whales Continue Accumulating The steady increase in new Dogecoin addresses has been supported by a corresponding increase in whale accumulation. Trading data shows that large wallets have added more billions of Dogecoins in recent weeks. For instance, recent on-chain data shows that wallet addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion Dogecoin recently added about 2 billion Dogecoin worth $448 million to their holdings within a week. At the institutional level, Bit Origin made headlines after committing $500 million to a Dogecoin treasury last month when the price was hovering around $0.24. Related Reading: Dogecoin Targets $1.25, But This 170% Move Is The Start Technical traders are also paying close attention. One analyst known as Trader Tardigrade pointed out that DOGE’s current chart setup is nearing the final stages of consolidation before a pump on the daily candlestick timeframe chart. If this pump were to manifest, the analyst projects a pump to $0.41 after breaking out of a triangular consolidation pattern.  Interestingly, a longer-term analysis from the same analyst on the monthly candlestick timeframe chart shows that Dogecoin has built a support base and is ready for the next leg up that would take it to as high as $4. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.222, up by 4.3% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin is getting a lift with news of a $153.8 million deal as Thumzup Media Corporation will acquire Dogehash Technologies with its shares, marking one of the most significant transactions in the Dogecoin ecosystem to date. With Thumzup’s digital-asset strategy and Dogehash’s large-scale mining operations, the two companies are setting the stage for a robust expansion.  A $153.8 Million Deal To Build The Biggest Dogecoin Miner The agreement between Thumzup Media and Dogehash Technologies comes with a clear goal: to build the world’s largest Dogecoin mining platform. The multi-million dollar all-stock deal will create a new company called Dogehash Technologies Holdings, Inc.. Once finalized, this new entity will trade on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker XDOG. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Takes Major Step With Community Governance Model — Details Thumzup has strong skills in digital money and ways to grow it, while Dogehash has many years of experience running large mining operations. By joining forces, Thumzup and Dogehash could combine their skills and resources to grow much bigger than they could alone. Through the merger, the company can now enter Nasdaq’s public markets, where new investors may step in to support Dogecoin. Backed by the million-dollar all-stock deal, the new entity could use Thumzup’s growth expertise and Dogehash’s mining strength to secure a leading position in the Dogecoin mining sector. As a result, Dogecoin, one of the most popular meme coins in the world, may see more mining activity. Expanding Mining Power With A Green Energy Push Dogehash Technologies currently operates approximately 2,500 Scrypt ASIC miner machines, which mine Dogecoin (DOGE) and Litecoin (LTC) daily across North America. But the company is not stopping there. Over the next two years, Dogehash plans to add renewable-energy-powered data centers to the mix, expanding its mining fleet through 2025 and 2026.  Since electricity accounts for most of a miner’s expenses, this strategy could make Dogehash more competitive in the long run. Dogehash could increase its mining capacity by using cleaner energy while reducing its environmental footprint, an approach with the potential to make it one of the leaders in sustainable crypto mining, a growing concern in the digital asset industry. Related Reading: What’s Next For XRP After Crashing Below $3? Analyst Answers Dogehash plans to roll out DogeOS, Dogecoin’s Layer-2 protocol, to make mining more efficient. DogeOS lets miners earn extra rewards through DeFi tools like staking and liquidity pools, on top of regular block rewards. For miners, that means more ways to boost returns; for the Dogecoin network, it means more substantial support and more activity. These tools will provide Dogehash with numerous opportunities to expand its earnings and participate in various financial products associated with mining. The company will not only look for ways to increase its mining profits but also explore other revenue streams that can add to its strength. With these steps, Dogehash Technologies Holdings could extend beyond merely creating more coins and develop a more robust and reliable system that supports the Dogecoin community and provides users with long-term value.

Dogecoin has been trading steadily over the past 48 hours by holding its ground around the $0.21 to $0.23 range. Although the meme coin leader is down by about 12.8% in the past seven days, it has managed to stay above $0.21. This resilience is highlighted as a higher low on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, and according to a technical analysis by crypto analyst Javon Marks, Dogecoin’s next major move may be far larger than most expect. Technical Setup Points To $0.6533 Breakout According to a technical analysis shared on the social media platform X by crypto analyst Javon Marks, Dogecoin’s price action has created another higher low on the 5-day candlestick timeframe. The most recent higher low is part of a trend that has created a series of higher lows since 2024.  Related Reading: 4-Year Cycle Says Dogecoin Price Will Reach $1, Here’s Why The pattern of higher lows suggests that buying pressure is outweighing selling pressure, even in times of market weakness. Furthermore, it means Dogecoin is creating new price floors after each rally and subsequent rally, which strengthens the case for a continuation rally. In this case, the two most recent rallies were in the middle of July when the Dogecoin price broke above $0.27, and another rally in August when it touched $0.25 very briefly.  Despite the correction that followed both rallies, the candlestick chart indicates that these lows were higher than previous highs and corrections. Now, according to Javon Marks, the immediate breakout target has been identified at $0.6533, which would represent a gain of more than 170% from the current price level. This target is derived from the technical setup of the holding breakout structure that Dogecoin has been playing out for many months. $1.25 Comes Into Play After Breakout If Dogecoin were to reach the $0.6533 breakout target, it would be its strongest bullish rally since early 2021. However, it would still fall short of its all-time high of $0.7316.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Crash Could End Soon With A Roadmap For $5 The analyst further predicted an even more ambitious scenario. Once the $0.6533 breakout target is achieved in this scenario, Dogecoin could extend its rally towards $1.25. Such a move would confirm a major shift in its long-term trend and create more consistent higher highs and higher lows across the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart and above the much-anticipated $1 price level.  A rally of this magnitude would not only confirm Dogecoin’s standing as the leading meme cryptocurrency but also reintroduce its price action into breaking multiple all-time highs. It would also translate to a 490% surge from the current price level. Nonetheless, the first step is for Dogecoin bulls to convert its higher-low structure into a decisive breakout. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.2131, down by 2% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin’s consolidation has not broken its higher-timeframe uptrend, according to crypto analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow), who in an August 19 livestream argued that DOGE continues to respect key support structures despite choppy day-to-day price action. “A lot of people are very very bitter about Doge, of course,” he said, because the meme-coin “has been [forming] higher highs and higher lows.” In his view, the technical context remains constructive: “This is a bull trend until proven otherwise.” Dogecoin Defies The Bears Cantonese Cat anchored his call in multi-timeframe signals rather than short-term oscillations. On the weekly and monthly charts, he said Dogecoin has been holding the 20-week and 20-month moving averages, a combination he characterizes as consistent with an intact primary uptrend. “I don’t operate on the daily basis… I operate on a much higher time frame,” he explained, stressing that the broader structure outweighs near-term volatility. Related Reading: 500% Parabolic Dogecoin Run Could Be Closer Than You Think: Analyst On the daily chart, he acknowledged weakness relative to shorter moving averages and cloud resistance, noting that DOGE is “consol[i]dating sideways” and has “broken down underneath the 20-day.” He framed that as a routine reset within trend rather than a breakdown, pointing to Ichimoku dynamics: after being “rejected up here by the Ichimoku cloud a few weeks ago,” price is “trying to hold the tenkan/kijun back-testing area [to] find some energy here to break back above.” As part of that attempt to rebuild momentum, he said, Dogecoin “just had a double bottom over here,” a pattern he reads as evidence of demand at support. Via X, he added: “DOGE weekly: Endless back-test of the Ichimoku Tenkan, but forming higher low here after its recent double bottom formation.” Responding to concerns that rangebound price action implies exhaustion, he emphasized “timeframe bias”—that traders overweight recent chop and underweight the series of higher lows that has defined DOGE’s structure since its cycle base. While he conceded that “it’s always possible” for supports to fail, he found no decisive evidence on higher timeframes that Dogecoin’s bull phase has ended. Instead, he cast the current tape as a pause beneath overhead resistance, with the cloud, the 20-day average, and prior rejection zones acting as the near-term hurdles to clear for continuation. Related Reading: Dogecoin Under Fire as Qubic Targets DOGE After Monero Attack: Can Bulls Prevent a Freefall? Crucially, he situated his DOGE view within broader market-cap structures—what many traders track as TOTAL and its variants. On OTHERS (crypto market cap excluding Top 10), he observed that the composite “just broke about the 0.5 here and… couldn’t break through 0.618,” describing a market that is still consolidating within a Fibonacci-defined range. More pointedly, he highlighted TOTAL3—the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum—as a constructive backdrop for altcoins: “Total three actually looks pretty decent here. If you look at the… chart, like this looks like a beautiful cup and handle… [it has] broken about the 0.86 [and is] getting ready for some all-time high stuff here.” On that basis, he rejected the idea that a cyclical top is already in for altcoins: “I cannot be bearish on the entire cryptocurrency market… I just cannot when Ethereum just had [its] breakout above the 0.86.” That macro-alt setup, he argued, helps explain why DOGE’s higher-timeframe supports continue to attract buyers even as intraday moves turn noisy. The upshot is a patience-trade: DOGE’s 20-week and 20-month moving averages remain his “primary line of defense” for the uptrend; the daily chart remains the battleground where cloud resistance and tenkan/kijun retests will determine when momentum can re-assert itself. Until those higher-timeframe anchors give way, Cantonese Cat’s verdict on Dogecoin is unchanged: “It is still a bullish chart until proven otherwise.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.21466.

A fresh wave of buying pushed Cardano up the ranks this week, moving ADA into the eighth spot among major cryptocurrencies and nudging Dogecoin and TRON down. Related Reading: Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce Reports show Cardano’s market cap climbed to $33 billion, edging out TRON at close to $33 billion and Dogecoin at $32 billion. ADA was trading at $0.9225, rising 0.35% on the day and posting a 16% gain over the last week when this report was made. Cardano Climbs Past Dogecoin And TRON The shift came amid a broader bout of volatility across the crypto market. Based on reports, global market cap briefly peaked at $4.17 trillion on August 14, when Bitcoin surged to an intraday high of $124,388. MARKET: Cardano $ADA has flipped DOGE and TRON in market cap, currently it’s the #8 largest cryptocurrency in the world. Road to #3. ???? pic.twitter.com/5FgelJypIR — Cardanians (CRDN) (@Cardanians_io) August 19, 2025 That strength did not last long; the market corrected and by press time total capitalization sat around $3.88 trillion while Bitcoin traded near $115,259, down 5.5% from the top. Those swings helped rearrange the top 10 as investors chased short-term moves. Community Reaction And Price Moves Cardano touched the $1 mark again on August 14 and the social channels lit up. Founder Charles Hoskinson posted a lighthearted GIF to mark the moment, and traders flagged the recovery as a sign that buyers were back in force for at least part of the rally. The renewed attention came after long stretches where development milestones didn’t always translate to price action, and the August jump showed how quickly sentiment can change. Analysts Point To Higher Targets Several analysts shared bullish forecasts as ADA rose. Javon Marks said ADA had not yet hit its “minimum target,” setting a near-term goal of $1.20 and a longer-term level of $2.91 — a move that would equal roughly a 210% rise from the price quoted above. Other market voices noted a golden cross on ADA’s daily chart and argued that technicals support further gains. Some analysts even floated the idea that ADA could move toward $3 if momentum remains.

Analyst Points To Gold’s Playbook Short-Term Forecasts And Technicals According to current Cardano price predictions cited in reports, ADA could increase by 27% and reach $1.195464 by September 18, 2025. Market sentiment is listed as Bullish and the Fear & Greed Index read 56 (Greed). Over the past 30 days Cardano recorded 17/30 green days (57%) and showed 8.57% volatility. Those figures suggest steady positive sessions mixed with meaningful swings — a pattern that can reward active traders but also brings risk. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

An analyst has pointed out how Dogecoin is consolidating within a triangle pattern that could set up a 40% move for the memecoin’s price. Dogecoin Is Trading Inside A Symmetrical Triangle Pattern In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about what the triangle that Dogecoin’s 12-hour price is trading inside right now could foreshadow for it. A triangle is a consolidation channel in technical analysis (TA) that forms whenever the price of an asset trades between two converging trendlines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bullish Signal: Sharks & Whales Are Buying The Dip The upper line of the pattern is likely to be a source of resistance, while the lower one that of support. If the price manages to break past either of these boundaries, it may see a sustained trend in the direction of the break. Triangles can be of a few different types, but the one that’s of interest here is the Symmetrical Triangle. This variant appears when the trendlines involved are approaching each other at a roughly equal and opposite angle. In other words, the Symmetrical Triangle corresponds to a period of consolidation in a range that tightens with time in an exactly sideways manner. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the pattern that the 12-hour price of Dogecoin has been stuck inside for the past month or so: As displayed in the above graph, Dogecoin found rejection at the upper level of the Symmetrical Triangle a few days back and has since declined toward its midway point. Generally, triangle breakouts become more likely to happen the closer the price gets to the apex of the pattern. From the chart, it’s visible that DOGE’s 12-hour price is already a decent way into the triangle, meaning that a breakout may be turning increasingly probable. Based on the pattern, the analyst believes the coin is preparing for a 40% move. But which direction will this move occur in? Well, in a Symmetrical Triangle, a breakout is usually equally likely to occur in either direction, since the pattern involves no bias. On top of that, the memecoin is currently also an equal distance away from either trendline, so it’s hard to say which one it will retest next. As such, it only remains to be seen which way Dogecoin will escape the Symmetrical Triangle from and whether any large move will follow. Related Reading: Ethereum Plunges 10% After Smashing Into This Historical Barrier In another X post, Martinez has also discussed about a triangle pattern forming in another altcoin, Worldcoin (WLD). As is apparent from the above chart, Worldcoin has just slipped under the lower level of this triangle. “Worldcoin $WLD breakout from triangle formation points toward $0.50!” notes the analyst. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading around $0.21, down more than 3% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com

Analyst Cryptoinsightuk argues that Dogecoin is primed for one of its characteristic “violent” upside phases, contending that a 500% rally from current levels is a realistic scenario in the next leg of the market cycle. In a new YouTube analysis focused on altcoin rotation, he frames DOGE as a top-10 laggard that has yet to print a new all-time high this cycle—precisely the kind of setup that has historically preceded its biggest moves. Dogecoin Could Still Rip 500% This Cycle The analyst’s core thesis is structural rather than narrative-driven: Dogecoin advances in compressed bursts, with most of the cycle’s gains arriving in just a handful of outsized monthly candles. “If you look at it on the monthly… the majority of Doge’s move happens in like two different monthly pops,” he says, citing prior surges of “six, seven hundred percent,” followed by another consolidation and a second leg of roughly “five hundred percent.” By contrast, the largest single monthly gain so far this cycle sits near “about 150%,” a magnitude he views as small relative to DOGE’s historical blow-off dynamics. From a momentum perspective, he highlights a looming inflection on high-timeframe oscillators: “The monthly RSI is potentially about to cross bullish also,” adding that DOGE has “either wicked or got close to the oversold area” twice on the monthly. In his read, those conditions have coincided with DOGE’s most explosive phases: “The oversold area is when all the violent price action happens on the monthly or the weekly… for cryptos generally.” Related Reading: After Monero Hit, Qubic Group Puts Dogecoin On Target List Price mapping and targets are explicit. Assuming a repeat of DOGE’s typical impulse size, the analyst sketches a 500% scenario that would “take us up to like $1.40,” with a staged take-profit ladder beginning “at like $1.18.” He stresses this is a path consistent with DOGE’s historical cadence rather than a call on exact timing: the coin tends to grind, then erupt, compressing multiple hundreds of percentage points into one or two monthly candles. The setup he prefers is rooted in range structure and risk-reward. Across majors and large-cap alts, he observes a similar pattern: form a base, run to a range high, retrace to the base, and compress. “At the bottom of the range is where the best risk-reward is,” he notes, emphasizing that asymmetric entries come when price returns to prior support and sentiment is fragile. He applies the same logic to DOGE, arguing the current structure resembles past pre-acceleration phases rather than distribution. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bullish Signal: Whales Buy 2 Billion DOGE Rotation is the second pillar of the call. The analyst expects capital to continue sliding down the risk curve from Bitcoin into large-cap altcoins and then into high-beta names like DOGE. He points out that even a modest replication of recent capital flows into a single top-10 asset can reprice peers dramatically, and he uses market-cap arithmetic to illustrate the point. With Dogecoin around the mid-$30 billion range by his count, a few hundred billion dollars rotating across the complex—as seen elsewhere this cycle—would imply multi-fold upside for laggards. “That’s where market cap has a bit of an issue in crypto,” he cautions, but the example underlines how quickly prices can gap when liquidity chases momentum. The crux of the trade, he argues, is to stay aligned with the prevailing trend and use pullbacks to build long exposure: “Pullbacks are for buying in trending bull markets and that is what we’re in.” In his framework, the invalidation sits below established range lows, while the upside tails are long if DOGE repeats its signature monthly expansions. As for timing, he refrains from precision. Instead, he reiterates the behavioral pattern: DOGE’s cycle gains typically arrive in a short, violent window after prolonged compression. With a potential monthly RSI turn, a still-muted largest monthly candle compared to prior cycles, and a wider backdrop of alt rotation, he concludes that the conditions for Dogecoin’s next act are falling into place. “It’s probably crazy season,” he concluded, adding that investors who wait for unambiguous confirmation often find “when it’s happened, it’s too late.” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.2217.

Despite flashing a bullish golden cross, where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day, Dogecoin failed to sustain upward momentum. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Must Survive Brutal September Before Q4 Hope, Analyst Predicts Instead, heavy selling pressure drove DOGE from $0.24 down to $0.22, marking a 6% drop within 24 hours.

Volume analysis points to stronger conviction from sellers, with spikes during breakdowns rather than recovery moves. Losing the $0.23 support zone has left DOGE vulnerable to further downside, with traders now eyeing $0.2165 and $0.2150 as the next key levels. Dogecoin Whales Keep Buying, But Confidence Wavers Interestingly, whale wallets continue to show aggressive accumulation. In August alone, 680 million DOGE were added, pushing total whale holdings to nearly 100 billion tokens, the highest level in months. While this suggests long-term confidence, the accumulation has yet to translate into upward price momentum, as technical damage from repeated rejections at $0.24 resistance weighs on short-term sentiment. Market analysts warn that if whales pause accumulation amid network risks, the lack of strong buyer support could trigger a deeper freefall below the current $0.22.ç DOGE's price moving sideways on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Qubic Vote Sparks Security Concerns The latest blow came when Qubic, an AI-driven blockchain project, announced that its community had voted Dogecoin as its next proof-of-work target. The move follows Qubic’s controversial 51% attack on Monero, which allowed it to reorganize blocks and manipulate transactions, forcing Kraken to suspend Monero deposits. With Dogecoin’s market cap above $35 billion, the stakes are considerably higher. A successful attack could disrupt transactions, enable double-spending, and dent investor confidence. While some experts argue DOGE’s larger network makes it harder to compromise, others caution that the intent alone has raised red flags across the crypto industry. DOGE Outlook: Make-or-Break at $0.23 Dogecoin’s immediate future hinges on whether bulls can reclaim the $0.23 level. Failure to do so could open the door to deeper losses, especially if Qubic escalates its campaign against the network. For now, traders are closely monitoring derivatives positioning, whale behavior, and global trade tensions that continue to pressure risk assets.

Ethereum’s (ETH) latest price rally has sparked renewed debate over whether the market is nearing a critical turning point. Analysts are looking closely at past cycles for insight, with some suggesting that history may be repeating itself. If the patterns hold true, ETH could be only weeks away from a cycle peak, making this a decisive moment for investors to consider when it might be time to sell everything.  Ethereum’s Cycle Top Signals When To Exit Crypto analyst Jackis has shared insights into Ethereum’s recent price movements, indicating when investors should exit the market entirely. In a recent X social media post, the analyst noted that the ETH price action is closely mirroring its behavior from previous market cycles.  Related Reading: 5 Reasons Why Ethereum Price To $15,000 Is ‘Programmed’ Looking at the chart, Ethereum had hit one of its major cycle tops in January 2018, followed by another peak in November 2021. Moreover, both instances were preceded by a sharp upward trajectory that culminated in heavy corrections. Jackis also points out that in those earlier cycles, ETH was trading significantly above prior highs before topping out. This time, however, the altcoin has not even broken into a new all-time high yet, although it is currently approaching that critical resistance.  Notably, the timing of ETH’s current setup is significant, as the four-year cycle theory suggests that the cryptocurrency could be just four weeks away from a major top. Jackis noted that this window aligns with September, which could serve as a critical moment for investors to reassess risks and consider whether “selling everything” is warranted.  The analyst further highlighted that while Ethereum’s structure shows strength, most altcoins are lagging far behind. Cryptocurrencies such as Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) have already established their tops in 2021 and remain far below those levels.  Jackie stated that their price action suggests a market environment more consistent with ETH trading around $2,200, rather than its current level below $4,500. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has continued to march higher since its November 2022 lows, forming higher lows and higher highs in a textbook bull market structure. ETH Panic Selling Or Pre-Breakout Opportunity? In other news, crypto market expert Ether Wizz argues that the current panic selling of Ethereum mirrors the same mistake traders made with Bitcoin in past cycles. At the time, early sellers underestimated the strength of institutional demand and long-term buyers, only to watch BTC surge far beyond expectations. Related Reading: Pundit Predicts ‘Near Term’ Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices, There’s Still Room To Run The analyst highlighted a recent rebound in the Ethereum price above the 50-week Simple Moving Average (SMA), which historically has signaled the beginning of explosive rallies. The comparison between Ethereum’s 2025 chart and its 2017 breakout also highlights a similarity. In both cases, the cryptocurrency consolidated, reclaimed its moving average, and then accelerated higher.   Notably, Ether Wizz points out that Ethereum could still experience a short-term correction of 5% to 10%. However, he argues it is misguided to assume ETH has already peaked, maintaining instead that the cryptocurrency is in the early stages of a move that could eventually drive its price toward a new all-time high of $10,000.

Qubic’s mining group has picked Dogecoin as its next target after claiming it briefly gained majority control of Monero’s network, according to reports. Related Reading: Trump Coin Jumps 10% On Canary Capital ETF Filing: Details The group said it reorganized six blocks on Monero and then asked its community to vote on which ASIC-friendly proof-of-work coin to test next. The vote came on Aug. 17. Community Picks Dogecoin Based on reports, Dogecoin won the vote with more than 300 votes. Qubic’s founder, Sergey Ivancheglo, shared that Dogecoin beat out Zcash and Kaspa in a public poll. The project says its Monero pool reached a 51% share and that it currently runs about two point three GH/s of Monero hashrate. The group calls these moves “stress tests” and says they are meant to show how its mining model works, while also using pool profits to buy and burn QUBIC tokens. The group added it does not want to destroy networks. The #Qubic community has chosen #Dogecoin. pic.twitter.com/EnevIZUAw5 — Come-from-Beyond (@c___f___b) August 17, 2025 The technical claim has sparked debate in the Monero community. Some developers and miners question whether the pool ever held sustained, uncontested control. Others say the actions — which reorganized blocks — are proof the group can alter short stretches of chain history. Either way, the interruption was enough for Kraken to pause Monero deposits while exchanges and services assessed risk. What A 51% Attack Can Do A 51% attack lets the controller reorganize blocks or stop transactions. A group that controls more than half of a network’s mining power can rewrite recent blocks, halt certain transactions, or try double-spends. Qubic’s move showed it could force a small reorg on Monero. If a similar level of control were applied to Dogecoin, the effect could be larger because Dogecoin has a market capitalization above $35 billion. Still, Dogecoin benefits from merged-mining with Litecoin and runs at a much higher hashrate, so an attack would likely cost far more. Markets and exchanges reacted quickly. Prices moved on the news and custodial services tightened checks. Kraken’s decision to pause deposits underscored how exchanges will act fast when block reorgs or other threats appear. Users and traders faced increased short-term uncertainty. Related Reading: XRP’s Toughest Bull Run Could Lead To Big Gains, Analyst Claims What To Watch Next Based on reports, the timeline is unclear but the issue raises bigger questions. Qubic has not given a clear timeline for any action against Dogecoin. Observers will watch for technical logs, more statements from the project, and any responses from Dogecoin and Litecoin developers. A Hostile Act? People will also be looking for proof that Qubic’s tests were non-destructive and for evidence about how long the pool actually held control. Most outlets call what Qubic did a 51% attack (a chain reorg), not a “hack” in the usual sense — but it’s still an attack on network consensus and many people treat it as hostile.

On-chain data shows the Dogecoin whales have gone on a buying spree recently, a sign that could be bullish for the memecoin’s price. Dogecoin Whales Have Accumulated During The Past Week In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest trend in the holdings of the Dogecoin whales. The metric shared by the analyst is the “Supply Distribution” from on-chain analytics firm Santiment, which tells us about the total amount of DOGE supply that a particular wallet group is holding right now. Related Reading: Bitcoin Realized Price Flips 200-WMA: What Happens Next? Addresses or investors are put into these cohorts based on the number of tokens that they are carrying in their balance. All wallets with 5 coins, for example, are placed into the 1 to 10 coins range. In the context of the current topic, the whales are the investors of interest. These entities are typically defined as holding between 100 million and 1 billion DOGE. At the current exchange rate, the former converts to $22.4 million and the latter to $224 million. Clearly, the only holders who would qualify for the group would be the big-money traders. As such, the holdings of these investors can be worth keeping an eye on, as if nothing else, shifts in the cohort can provide information about the sentiment among the network’s influential beings. Now, here is a chart that shows the the trend in the Dogecoin Supply Distribution for the whales over the last month and a half: As displayed in the above graph, the 100 million to 1 billion Dogecoin range has seen its Supply Distribution go through a rise recently, indicating that members of the group have been participating in net accumulation. In total, the whales have added 2 billion DOGE (worth $448 million) to their holdings over the past week. This is a notable amount and suggests that the large investors are expecting the cryptocurrency to go up from here. It only remains to be seen, however, whether this accumulation would pay off for them. Alongside the buying, the cohort has also ramped up transaction activity, as Martinez has pointed out in another X post. The indicator shown in the chart is the “Whale Transaction Count,” which measures the total number of transfers occurring on the Dogecoin blockchain that involve a sum greater than $1 million.

Dogecoin’s bullish momentum is putting short positions under pressure as the price eyes a crucial $0.27 retest. A successful breakout above this level could spark a powerful multi-stage rally, opening the door to higher targets and renewed market excitement. DOGE/USDT Clears $0.2533 Resistance With Conviction GemXBT, in a recent update on X, highlighted that DOGE/USDT is showing a bullish trend after breaking above the key resistance level at $0.2533 with strong upward momentum. This breakout signals renewed buying pressure, as the price pushes beyond a level that had capped recent advances. The move suggests bulls are gaining control and could be preparing for further upside if momentum holds. Related Reading: Dogecoin Eyes Breakout Above Key Trendline-Will Momentum Hold Or Fade? According to the update, the 5-day moving average (5MA) has crossed above both the 10-day and 20-day moving averages. Such crossovers often reinforce the continuation of an uptrend, especially when supported by other confirming indicators. Volume has also been increasing alongside the price rise. Higher trading activity at elevated price levels shows that demand is growing, adding credibility to the upward move. This combination of technical strength and volume support positions Dogecoin for potentially sustained gains. However, GemXBT also noted that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching overbought levels, while the MACD is in positive divergence. These conditions suggest there is still room for more upside, but they also warrant caution for possible short-term pullbacks.  Cup & Handle Emerges: A Textbook Bullish Signal For Dogecoin Examining the daily chart, RISK highlighted that Dogecoin is forming a classic cup-and-handle pattern, one of the most reliable bullish formations in technical analysis. Following a deep, rounded recovery from the June lows, the price is once again testing the $0.27 resistance zone, a level that has repeatedly capped previous rallies.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Just Flashed A Rare Weekly Bullish Signal — This Analyst Is Buying The handle portion of the pattern is taking shape with controlled pullbacks and reduced trading volume. This behavior typically signals that sellers are gradually running out of steam while buyers quietly build positions. Such consolidation often precedes a breakout, as the market transitions from profit-taking to renewed buying pressure. If DOGE manages to break and close above the $0.27 resistance zone, the technical structure suggests that momentum could accelerate sharply. In this case, bullish targets would likely extend toward $0.31, then $0.39, and potentially $0.50 or higher as confidence grows among traders.  For now, the broader outlook remains bullish as long as the series of higher lows on the chart stays intact. With the breakout scenario still firmly in play, Dogecoin is positioned for a strong upward move should buyers push it past the $0.27 key resistance barrier.

Crypto analyst CryptoInsightUK has promoted Dogecoin as one of the top altcoins right now, anchoring the call to a clean weekly structure and an emerging broadening, ascending wedge that still governs price. He opens his note with an unambiguous header—“My Top Altcoin Picks: DOGE”—and then lays out the case in plain language: “We’ve been actively trading Doge for about a week and a half now, and I’ve been sharing updates with you every step of the way. Doge looks extremely bullish on the weekly time frame, potentially closing this week with a bullish engulfing candle if we can manage to close above $0.241. That would be fantastic.” Why Dogecoin Is The Top Altcoin Right Now The weekly DOGE/USDT chart shows price pressing into a well-defined supply band labeled “Resistance” around $0.27–$0.30, where July’s “Higher High” ($0.287) sits. Underneath, a rising weekly trendline that has contained price since mid-2023 currently tracks through the upper-$0.16s to low-$0.17s, with a horizontal “Support” shelf near $0.13 aligned to the prior “Swing Low.” The staircase of “swing low → higher → higher low → higher high” marked on the chart remains intact. The analyst ties the structure to a specific pattern roadmap. “We may also be forming a broadening ascending wedge pattern here, and the potential upside target of this pattern could be as high as the all-time highs at $0.75,” he writes. Related Reading: Dogecoin To $1? Only If This Plays Out, Says Analyst Extending the projection, he adds: “If we extend this further out in time, we could even argue that the 1.618 Fibonacci extension around $1.17 might come into play. Of course, we’d need to break through the resistance levels marked on the chart to see something like that,” before situating the trade in market context: “If the market continues as it is—Bitcoin dominance dropping and ETH continuing its upward momentum—I don’t think this is out of the question for Doge.” Momentum reads argue there is room. On the chart, weekly RSI has turned up from the mid-30s, reclaimed its signal, and now sits in the mid-50s to low-60s—well shy of the overbought band that accompanied the prior thrust. The analyst highlights that runway explicitly: “Using the RSI as an indicator, there’s still significant room for growth before we enter the overbought territory, which is typically when things get exciting.” He also frames the setup within a higher-timeframe impulsive structure: “Technically speaking, Doge has experienced two significant impulses on a higher timeframe, both setting higher highs and higher lows. Now, we’re looking for a third impulse.” Positioning matters to him as well. “Looking at Doge as a top 10 crypto asset, we see that all other cryptos in the top 10, except for Cardano and Solana, have reached all-time highs… Doge remains behind, and I believe the major impulse is still yet to come.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Buy The Dip: $1 Billion DOGE Added On execution, he points to the lower-timeframe tape confirming the bias: “On the lower timeframes, we’re seeing higher highs and higher lows, which suggests that the impulse may have already begun.” That leads to the trade thesis: “With all this in mind, it’s an exciting time for altcoins, and I believe that Doge’s risk-to-reward ratio, especially considering its position as a top 10 asset, makes it an attractive trade even from current levels.” Peer technicians are aligned. In a brief community ping titled “Good boy Doge,” the analyst reiterated the same levels and structure from earlier in the week. Fellow trader CRG explained the patience trade: “Nothing much to update. Price just chilling for now, been consolidating for 6 months making higher lows. DOGE is gonna full send at some point, no doubt in my mind, just gotta be patient.” He summarized the rationale behind positioning with a screenshot captioned, “This is why we are in the $DOGE trade fam.” From here, the immediate trigger is mechanical and visible on the chart: a weekly settlement above $0.241 would print the bullish-engulfing confirmation the analyst is watching at the mouth of resistance. Acceptance through the $0.27–$0.30 band would reopen the path toward the mid-$0.30s and the prior rejection in December last year when DOGE peaked above $0.48, while failure to hold the rising trendline would defer the move to the next demand zones near $0.17 and $0.13. As long as the sequence of higher lows remains unbroken, the wedge continues to frame a credible springboard toward the analysts’ stated targets, with $0.75 as the first historical waypoint and the 1.618 extension at ~$1.17 reserved for a fully developed impulse. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.242. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Dogecoin (DOGE) is riding a fresh wave of bullish momentum after whales scooped up 1 billion DOGE, worth roughly $200 million, in just 24 hours. The massive accumulation has helped push DOGE over 11.2% higher in the past day, with prices currently hovering around $0.24, according to CoinMarketCap. Related Reading: Bitcoin Futures Power Index Hits Neutral Zone After Months Of Bullish Readings – Details Large-holder ownership now sits near 50% of the total supply, a sign of growing institutional confidence. Analysts note that this kind of concentrated buying can reduce sell-side liquidity, potentially paving the way for bigger moves ahead. Technical charts suggest an 18% upside toward the $0.26 zone, with bulls eyeing a breakout above $0.28 that could open the path to $0.35. Golden Cross Signals Possible Major Rally Adding to the excitement, Dogecoin has formed a golden cross for the first time since November, a bullish pattern that occurs when the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) moves above the 200-day SMA. Historically, such crossovers in DOGE have preceded sharp rallies, including a 130% surge in late 2024. While the golden cross isn’t foolproof, traders are optimistic that the combination of whale accumulation and strong technicals could mark the start of another bull run. Momentum indicators back the bullish case, with DOGE holding above its 30-day SMA and its relative strength index (RSI) sitting at a neutral 57, leaving room for further gains. DOGE's price records positive momentum on the daily chart. Source: DOGEUSD on Tradingview Dogecoin ETF Hopes and Regulatory Tailwinds Beyond market speculation, institutional investors are assigning nearly 75% odds on Polymarket for a potential Dogecoin ETF approval. Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have even raised their approval odds for spot DOGE ETFs to 90% by the end of 2025, citing a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment. Such an approval could be a major catalyst for DOGE’s price, broadening its exposure to mainstream investors. Combined with whale buying, technical breakouts, and heightened retail interest, this could set the stage for DOGE’s next “moon mission.” Related Reading: How Western Union’s Acquisition Of Intermex Is A Win For Ripple And XRP For now, traders are watching the $0.242–$0.245 resistance closely.

According to CoinGlass and market reports, Dogecoin’s futures open interest breached the $3 billion barrier as traders piled back into the memecoin on August 12. Related Reading: Chainlink Tipped To Outshine XRP In Global Banking Links: Analyst The token climbed to $0.25 that day, and traders recorded a one-day gain of 4.10% while market capitalization rose nearly 4%. Short bursts of buying pushed derivatives exposure higher, and that helped push DOGE back into headlines. Open Interest Breaks $3 Billion Reports have disclosed that futures traders committed roughly 14.4 billion DOGE into positions over a single day — a figure that lines up with the $3.41 billion open interest reading when priced near $0.25. That number is striking because it means a huge amount of DOGE is sitting in unsettled contracts, not just spot wallets. Some traders see this as a sign of renewed confidence. Source: Coinglass Bullish Bets And Some Caution Rising open interest alongside a rising price often shows new money is coming in, and that is what many market watchers are pointing to now. At the same time, derivatives volume on some platforms has not kept pace with OI, which can make the move fragile if momentum fades or if a large position reverses. Reports from exchange data show futures volume dipped while OI climbed, suggesting more traders are holding positions rather than actively rotating them. That dynamic raises the chance of sharp moves if sentiment flips. Analyst Targets And Market Signals According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Dogecoin is forming a bullish flag on the hourly chart with a target set at $0.27, a view he shared publicly on X. Other market voices have pointed out that a clean break and higher trading volume would be needed to make that target more likely. $0.27 next for Dogecoin $DOGE! https://t.co/bKkOj6fz2z pic.twitter.com/Z5MXTOA2fG — Ali (@ali_charts) August 12, 2025 Related Reading: Quantum Computers No Match For Bitcoin’s Math, Google Expert Says What Traders Should Watch Next Based on data, keep an eye on funding rates, options flow, and whether futures volume begins to climb with open interest. Funding rate trends will show whether longs are paying to hold positions, and sudden spikes in liquidations can force quick reversals. Bitcoin’s moves should also be on the radar; memecoins tend to follow the big market swings. If price and OI both keep rising with stronger volume, the bullish case gains some weight. If OI rises while volume falls, the move looks more brittle. Dogecoin’s jump to about $3.41 billion in open interest and the commitment of roughly 14.41 billion DOGE into futures point to renewed trader interest.

Crypto analyst KrissPax has made a case for why the Dogecoin price could still reach the psychological $1 level based on the 4-year cycle. Analysts like Kevin Capital have also declared that DOGE’s best move is still ahead.  Why The Dogecoin Price Can Still Reach $1 In an X post, KrissPax alluded to the 4-year cycle to prove why the Dogecoin price can still reach $1. He stated that meme coin has throughout its history shown patterns that reinforce these cycles of crypto trading. The analyst added that from bear markets to bull runs and blow-off tops, DOGE has repeated these movements, which indicate that a parabolic rally is going to happen this fall.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Open Interest Remains Above $3 Billion, Can Bulls Take Control? In line with this, KrissPax remarked that the Dogecoin price could reach $1 if it follows the white upward sloping resistance, which he highlighted on his accompanying chart. Furthermore, he stated that if DOGE follows the blue arc from 2017, which supports the theory that the gains will be less each cycle with a larger market cap, then it could reach as high as $2 this cycle.  The Dogecoin price is currently enjoying another uptrend after dropping below the psychological $0.2 level during the last market correction. DOGE is up over 17% in the last seven days and is now looking to reclaim its previous local high of around $0.26. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has predicted that it would happen soon.  In an X post, Martinez said that the Dogecoin price is targeting $0.27 as it forms a bullish flag on the hourly chart. Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade also highlighted a bull flag breakout for DOGE on the 4-hour chart and stated that the meme coin is now targeting $0.295. Like KrissPax, Trader Tardigrade also indicated that the meme coin could reach the $1 price level at some point. He revealed that the Dogecoin price had confirmed a bullish crossover on the daily chart. The analyst further remarked that a decent surge could occur at this point. His accompanying chart showed that $1 was the target.  The Best Is Yet To Come For DOGE In an X post, crypto analyst Kevin Capital indicated that the best is yet to come for the Dogecoin price. He stated that all monthly momentum, strength, and sentiment indicators on DOGE show that investors have not yet seen what the foremost meme coin is capable of. He noted that this is similar to many other altcoins.  Related Reading: Dogecoin To $1 Is Within Reach—Here’s What Must Happen First, Says Analyst Kevin Capital further remarked that if all stays steady with the macro and the Bitcoin price holds up, then the Dogecoin price’s biggest move is likely still ahead. The Fed is expected to cut rates in September, which is a positive for DOGE, as it could inject more liquidity into the meme coin.  At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.2362, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
