Dogecoin has now entered the longest period below its all-time high in its history—over 1,550 days and counting—with crypto analyst VisionPulsed warning that while a breakout may eventually come, the asset remains locked in what he calls a “bearish forever” pattern. In his August 6 video update, VisionPulsed provided a sobering macro-to-micro analysis of Dogecoin’s price action, underscoring the asset’s historic underperformance compared to other large-cap cryptocurrencies. “We’re now setting a Guinness World Record for most days below the all-time high for Dogecoin,” he remarked. “First cycle was 1,200 days, second cycle was 1,126. Right now, we are at a staggering 1,550-plus days.” That milestone, he argued, is not just symbolic—it reflects deep structural weakness in DOGE’s market cycle. And despite growing chatter in the macro space about a potential liquidity-driven reversal, he’s not yet convinced that Dogecoin is ready to respond. A central theme of the analysis is the Global M2 money supply, which VisionPulsed has tracked for months as a leading macro indicator for crypto risk appetite. While he acknowledges that the M2 bottomed in June, he emphasizes that this alone hasn’t historically triggered immediate upside for Dogecoin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Buy The Dip: $1 Billion DOGE Added “The Global M2 has put in a bottom… but Dogecoin did not move higher until the M2 shot up. And we don’t have that yet,” he explained. “Could we still be bearish? Technically yes… because it’s always bearish forever and ever.” Ethereum, by contrast, is described by the analyst as “much more sensitive to the M2,” and has begun showing signs of recovery. This divergence, in his view, reinforces the idea that DOGE may continue to consolidate or retrace further before making a meaningful move. Dogecoin Chop Before Pop? VisionPulsed suggests that Dogecoin is likely forming a choppy consolidation structure, similar to prior phases that eventually resolved to the upside. He doesn’t dismiss the possibility of a rally in the near future—particularly if price holds current levels through mid-August—but cautions that the bullish case remains highly conditional. “If Dogecoin can do this exact move [sideways accumulation], then it should turn bullish,” he said, referencing a historical fractal that played out prior to earlier rallies. He draws a parallel between sentiment metrics (such as YouTube view counts) and market behavior, noting that in previous local bottoms, low engagement marked exhaustion in retail capitulation. This time, however, he concedes that the floor may already be forming higher—potentially due to increased market maturity or broader interest in crypto assets. Long-Term Targets: $0.90 To $1.50 While the current tone remains cautious, VisionPulsed outlines a clear set of long-term price targets if and when a macro reversal does take hold. He splits these into two categories: conservative and speculative. “A more conservative estimate… is this lower end here, 90 cents to 1.14,” he said, noting that $0.91+ could begin to mark a top under the right conditions. Related Reading: Dogecoin Just Hit A Prime Risk-Reward Entry, Says Analyst For the more optimistic crowd, the so-called “moonboys,” he still sees room—albeit less likely—for a run toward $1.50 or even $2. “Even I used to say $2,” he added. “I think the highest I could go for a moonboy expectation is right here in this vicinity between $2 to $1.50.” Importantly, he stops short of making any time-bound prediction, reiterating that macro trends, M2 velocity, and broader altcoin sentiment must first align for any of these targets to come into play. As the crypto market heads into the later months of the year, VisionPulsed points out that historical cycles have often accelerated around this phase, with several final rallies initiating in the August–September window. “The further and closer we get to the end of the year, it has to start moving faster… At least in recent history, when we’ve gotten to where we are, you’ve gone up for your final rally,” he noted. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.206. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Paolo Ardoino, chief executive officer of stablecoin issuer Tether, has called Bitcoin “undefeatable” in a recent X post. The bold claim comes as markets wobble and digital assets face fresh downward pressure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Insult Alert: Pro Trader Dubs HODLers ‘Idiots,’ Saylor Fires Back Bitcoin’s price action has been muted this week, but Ardoino’s comment has stirred up plenty of talk among traders and analysts. Tether’s Bitcoin Holdings Grow According to reports, Tether has boosted its Bitcoin stash to nearly 80,000 BTC. That holding is worth more than $9 billion at current rates. The company’s steady buying suggests it sees deep value in Bitcoin even when prices slide. In recent weeks, Tether’s balance sheet has leaned heavily on the world’s oldest crypto asset. Some market watchers say that kind of commitment from a major player could shore up confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. Bitcoin is undefeatable — Paolo Ardoino ???? (@paoloardoino) August 6, 2025 Supporters have jumped in to back Ardoino’s take, pointing to Bitcoin’s history of bouncing back after big sell-offs. Based on reports from crypto forums and social feeds, many believe that only severe, lasting shocks can truly move the price for long. Yet others caution that calling any asset “undefeatable” risks lulling investors into a false sense of security. They warn that new technologies could emerge and challenge Bitcoin’s top spot in years ahead. Bitcoin $BTCUSD and a number of the other cryptos are setting up a head fake after a Bollinger Band Squeeze. Interestingly, the pattern is not evident in the ETFs as they don’t trade on weekends and holidays. Analyst beware! — John Bollinger (@bbands) August 6, 2025 Technical Warning From Bollinger Meanwhile, John Bollinger, the creator of the Bollinger Bands charting tool, issued a note on X about a possible “head fake” in Bitcoin’s price. He pointed out a Bollinger Band squeeze that briefly pushed Bitcoin down to $111,900 on Aug. 3, only for it to snap back up to $115,700. That sudden U-turn trapped many bears who bet on further declines. Bollinger also said the same pattern doesn’t show up on crypto ETFs, since those funds don’t trade on weekends. Borrowed from basketball, the term “head fake” describes an asset that surges one way and then reverses course, catching traders by surprise. Bitcoin closed most sessions near the $115,000 mark this week, with Bitstamp data showing it trading at $115,200 at one point. The coin has edged up slightly over the past 24 hours, but volatility remains a factor. Traders note that weekend gaps and low liquidity can trigger sharp moves in either direction. Related Reading: Slow And Steady: Bitcoin’s Current Rise Feels Different—Study Market Participants Weigh In Analysts and fund managers are parsing both the bullish spin from Tether’s boss and the caution flag from Bollinger’s camp. Some say Bitcoin’s track record in the past decade—including weathering regulatory clampdowns, global economic shocks, and high-profile exchange failures—earns it the right to such bold labels. Others argue that blind faith alone won’t protect investors from sudden market swings. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike, ignited fresh debate over Washington’s still-undisclosed Bitcoin balance on Wednesday night, arguing that the US government is withholding the numbers because its position is “too small to lead” the digital-asset economy. “The US won’t disclose their BTC holdings. Why? Because they realized they don’t own enough,” Mallers posted on X, adding that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) race is “far from over” and “I expect this to heat up.” US Bitcoin Silence Hints At Bigger Problem In a video attached to the post, the 30-year-old entrepreneur expanded on the point. He praised the administration’s decision in March to create an SBR but said the follow-through has fallen short: “The US government has kind of let us down in not giving us the full audit of how much Bitcoin the US government owns. … Clearly that information is sensitive or else they would disclose it. … I think that the US government is ashamed of its Bitcoin position.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Net Taker Volume Stays Bearish – Fragile Market Structure Risks Liquidation Cascade President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14233 on 6 March formally established the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve alongside a broader Digital Asset Stockpile, framing Bitcoin as a “unique store of value in the global financial system.” A follow-up White House fact sheet stressed the goal of “positioning the United States as a leader among nations in government digital-asset strategy.” Yet when the administration unveiled its 163-page digital-assets strategy on 30 July, the document offered only a fleeting reference to the SBR and no hard figures. Robert “Bo” Hines—executive director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets—noted, “I can’t discuss that right now … There are several reasons we’re not disclosing that at this time.” Over the past months, Hines’ tone was not apologetic. “We want as much Bitcoin as we can possibly get, and we’re going to continue to work on that,” he said in a separate interview, describing Bitcoin as “digital gold”. For years analysts believed the US government controlled well over 200,000 BTC thanks to Silk Road, Bitfinex-hack and other forfeitures. But a Freedom of Information Act response released in mid-July showed the US Marshals Service holding just 28,988 BTC—about $3.3 billion at today’s prices—rekindling speculation that earlier administrations quietly liquidated a large share of the trove. Separate on-chain data confirm that federal wallets sent 30,175 BTC to Coinbase Prime as early as April 2024, with additional transfers worth $1.9 billion following in December 2024. Related Reading: Bitcoin Stuck In Macro Purgatory—Top Analyst Says Q4 Or Bust Mallers seized on those numbers. “I think the Democrats sold off a bunch of that Bitcoin, and they don’t want to announce anything until they can build the position back,” he said, calling the audit delay “a branding problem” for a country that bills itself as the future Bitcoin super-power. Market Backdrop Bitcoin is trading above $114,000 after peaking at $123,000 last week, up more than 100 percent year-on-year. The float is already constrained: roughly 92 percent of all coins are mined, and large swaths sit in dormant or long-term-holder wallets. Should the Treasury accelerate SBR purchases—as Mallers predicts—the incremental buy-side pressure could tighten supply further. From Mallers’ vantage point, the political embarrassment he describes is ultimately price-positive: “If the US wants to plant its flag as the crypto capital, it has no choice but to accumulate. That’s the bullish takeaway. We’re talking about a buyer with the deepest pockets on Earth.” Whether Congress will backstop those purchases is another matter. Senator Cynthia Lummis has re-introduced a bill directing the Treasury to acquire up to one million BTC over five years, but appropriations committees have yet to schedule hearings.
