Dogecoin (DOGE) is rebounding strongly alongside the broader meme coin market, which has experienced a notable uptick in Q1 2026. As sentiment surrounding meme coins continues to improve, a crypto analyst suggests that Dogecoin could be positioning for more gains. The analyst notes that Dogecoin’s rapid accumulation signals the potential for a sharp upward sweep in the near term. Dogecoin Accumulation Signals Upward Sweep Crypto market expert Bitguru recently shared a fresh technical outlook on Dogecoin, highlighting how its price structure has consistently changed after months of corrective movement. According to him, a completed liquidity sweep followed by an extended consolidation phase suggests that the market has reset and may be setting up for a bullish continuation. Related Reading: Catalysts That Suggests The Dogecoin Price Rally Could Continue Bitguru explained that Dogecoin’s chart shows price stability after clearing sell-side liquidity between November and December 2025, which pushed out weak holders and created a base for accumulation. The consolidation that continued into 2026 shows lower volatility and steady base building, two conditions the analyst believes are needed before Dogecoin’s next major price move. The chart also illustrates bullish patterns, such as a rounded H cup formation and a continuation phase in the middle of 2025, which helped establish higher price levels before the broader market pullback. Bitguru added that Dogecoin’s recent move back above the key support near $0.14 suggests accumulation is likely completed, as price now starts to tighten and move upward from its base level. He noted that as long as Dogecoin stays above this reclaimed support, the chances of an upward sweep toward higher supply zones increase. The chart also points to potential gains reaching the highlighted green target area between $0.188 and $0.194, which lines up with past resistance levels that have previously limited price movement during the decline. Area That Could Invalidate Upward Sweep Bitguru’s chart also shows the possibility of a price decline despite the rapid increase in accumulation. The red zone on the chart represents a stop-loss or risk area. If Dogecoin falls below the support area around $0.148, it could initiate a drop toward new lows within this risk zone. Related Reading: The Dogecoin Cycle Fractal That Shows Where The Price Is Headed Next If the meme coin’s price dips below the consolidation zone between $0.146 and $0.148, then the analyst’s bullish setup and potential upward sweep could be invalidated. The chart projects a potential decline to the $0.13-$0.11 range, reflecting a decrease of more than 9% from current levels. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at $0.143, up more than 18% this week, according to CoinMarketCap data. Although the meme coin is showing clear signs of a recovery from former downtrends, its trading volume is still down by more than 30%. Moreover, DOGE’s price has been unexpectedly volatile recently, dropping by 5% over the past 24 hours. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com

The Ethereum staking ecosystem is showing clear signs of tightening as demand for validators continues to rise. Participants now face a multi-week wait to enter the network. This growing staking queue reflects a structural shift in how ETH is being held and deployed less as a liquid supply and more as long-term productive capital. As more ETH becomes locked in validation, the dynamics of supply, yield, and network security are quietly being reshaped. Why Validator Delays Add Friction To Supply Re-Entry The current state of Ethereum staking highlights a growing problem with predictability. Crypto expert Dave has pointed out on X that the ETH staking entry queue is now showing an estimated wait of 25 days and 4 hours to enter. Previously, the wait time was around 7.55 days, which is a more than threefold increase in wait time over a relatively short period. Related Reading: Ethereum Staking Deposits Just Surpassed Withdrawals, Why This Could Send ETH Price Above $4,000 At the same time, the exit queue is reporting a wait time of 14 minutes, which previously sat for 44.25 days, representing a reduction of well over 4,000 times, from weeks to minutes. According to Dave, staking on a blockchain with this level of variance between entry and exit requirements is uncertain. Waiting weeks to enter while exit clears almost instantly makes staking behavior highly state-dependent and unpredictable. This contract is exactly why the expert prefers staking on Cardano, because there is no entry queue. Also, delegation is reflected on-chain immediately, and stake changes are transparent and deterministic. The only delay is a fixed active stake period of two epochs, which is 10 days before delegation changes take effect. This consistency is the difference because there are no dynamic queues, no sudden shifts, and no surprises driven by changing network states. If demand to stake on Cardano increases rapidly, it will make absolutely no difference, because predictability matters especially with monetary investments. Why Throughput Without Context Is Meaningless The headline claim of $8 trillion in stablecoin transfers on Ethereum sounds impressive, but it’s a completely meaningless metric. Crypto analyst DBCrypto noted that a single entity can move $1 billion back and forth between two wallets ten times, creating a sudden $10 billion in volume, but generating zero economic activity. Related Reading: Big Bet On Ethereum: CEO Sees 10X TVL Growth In 2026 This is why banks don’t advertise transfer volume as a growth metric, as volume without context tells nothing about utility or growth. However, crypto continues to elevate these numbers as milestones because big figures pump bags. What’s being measured here is motion and activity, not progress or value. DBCrypto concluded that until the industry stops celebrating vanity metrics, it will continue to confuse noise for signal. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
