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.

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

In a market update on August 19 titled “Key Altcoins To Watch Right Now,” crypto analyst Cryptoinsightuk argues that conditions are improving for a fresh leg higher in altcoins as Bitcoin dominance shows signs of easing. “The last few days and in the newsletter I’ve discussed my long-term thesis around Bitcoin dominance dropping [and] that altcoins are going to take the next leg up,” he said, adding that, at current levels across majors, “risk–reward for long positions is very good here.” He anchors the view in a recurring intraday structure he says is visible across Bitcoin and multiple large caps: a range forms, the lows are swept, the highs are swept, price returns to the range lows, and momentum begins to base. On Bitcoin specifically, he notes that “RSI on [the] 4-hourly looks like it could turn up,” while acknowledging that short-term direction could still be shaped by the US equity open and broader macro headlines. Top Altcoins To Watch In Crypto Right Now Avalanche (AVAX) tops his tactical list. He outlined a limit-bid plan at $22.75, citing a local liquidity pocket down to roughly $22.70, while emphasizing that the more material liquidity sits overhead: “There’s more dense liquidity above us all the way up to $27… on the daily… up to about $28.4, even towards $30 for AVAX.” He framed the trade as asymmetrical because “if we don’t get [the fill] then that’s fine,” whereas a push into the upper liquidity bands could accelerate. Dogecoin (DOGE) is his highest-conviction swing. He disclosed two concurrent longs—one in a DOGE perpetual and one versus USDT—with an average entry around $0.225–$0.227 and modest leverage on the larger position. The technical map, he argued, has already progressed through the stop-sweep and retest phase: “We had this range… we swept the lows and… back-tested this… little cluster here, bounced off it as support so far.” Related Reading: Crypto Braces For Impact As JPow’s Jackson Hole Speech Looms In the near term, the crypto analyst is watching the reclaimed range floor as resistance that must flip; beyond that, he sees “much more dense” resting liquidity above current price “all the way up to about 30 cent,” with a broader discussion zone in the mid-$0.40s: “We’ve got red liquidity all the way up to 47 cent, and when we’re up to that level, I’ll start to consider maybe deleveraging.” His longer-term target framework references Fibonacci extensions: “My take profits [are] at the 1.618 fib… all the way at like $1.19,” while stressing he would adjust sizing “depending on what the market looks like at some of these different levels.” Cryptoinsightuk also flagged what he called a sentiment-sensitive Fartcoin long carried with higher leverage. The stake is intentionally small given volatility—“we’re 10x on Fartcoin, so we could get liquidated if we come down to like 86 cent… 81 cent I think is a liquidation”—and intended only for a move back to range highs. On XRP, the crypto analyst describes a similar range-construction to DOGE and AVAX with an initial target at the top of the band. “Primary target would be like this top of the range… structure is similar,” he said, noting that his focus there remains on reactions as prior highs and visible liquidity are approached. Cardano also made the list with visible liquidity around prior swing highs “up here at this $1–$1.10,” implying a first checkpoint near the $1.10 area, with continuation risk skewed to the upside “once you get to that swing high.” Related Reading: Biggest Crypto Bull Run In History Is About To Ignite: Top Analyst He devoted more structural nuance to Flare (FLR), calling out a potentially completed or developing corrective sequence that could seed a stronger impulse. “This could be the start of an impulsive move. This could be one, two, three, four, five. This could be like an ABC correction or W-X-Y-Z… triangle… in wave twos… which could then obviously lead to a wave three which would be quite aggressive,” he said, framing FLR as an “interesting structure” rather than a call for immediate participation. Ethereum, he argued, is trying to repair short-term trend signals even as a nearby liquidity pocket lurks below. “ETH is trying to break this short-term downtrend… challenging this key cluster… You can see… bullish divergences on the hourly time frame,” he said, citing a sequence of lower lows in price against higher lows on RSI. That constructive micro-setup underpins his broader positioning stance: if Bitcoin rotates to the top of its range and retests all-time highs, “you’re probably going to see the most aggressive part of the cycle move when you enter price discovery.” He rounded out the watchlist with Mantle (MNT), noting he holds a spot allocation and would consider taking profits near $2 if a clean range break materializes. “MNT is at the top of a range… if we do get that range break, it could be quite an aggressive move to the upside. I will be taking profits maybe around the $2 mark,” he said. At press time, ETH traded at $4,175. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
