Dogecoin’s price action has a habit of compressing quietly before going on a massive rally, and the late-2024 rally is one of the clearest examples of that behavior. After spending weeks grinding sideways around $0.10, the meme coin transitioned into a parabolic phase that carried the price to about $0.45 in a matter of two to three months. Now, how high would the Dogecoin price go if it were to repeat that same parabolic structure? How Dogecoin’s Late-2024 Parabolic Run Played Out The 2024 rally began from a base that had formed just above $0.10, right where Dogecoin spent a long time absorbing sell pressure. Once buyers regained control, Dogecoin cleared intermediate resistance around $0.15 and $0.20 with minimal pullbacks, then entered a vertical phase that pushed it through $0.30 and to $0.45. Related Reading: Dogecoin 50% Crash: Q4 Set To End In Red As All Supports Fail The key takeaway from that period is not just the magnitude of the move, but its speed, as Dogecoin delivered a roughly 4.5x increase in a very short time window of less than four weeks. That move unfolded rapidly, with little warning, and was characterized by expanding volume, strong bullish candles on the 4-hour candlestick timeframe, and momentum indicators pressing into overheated territory. As shown in the chart below, this period was characterized by high RSI readings that pushed into the 70 to 80 range. Applying The Same Parabolic Structure Parabolic rallies often catch many investors off guard. Particularly, one of the defining features of Dogecoin’s strongest rallies is that they rarely announce themselves clearly. Since Dogecoin has performed like that before, then it is not out of proportion to expect similar performance, especially considering that it is now back to trading close to the lows that it rebounded from in late 2024. Related Reading: Can Dogecoin Price Reach $1 In 2026? Analysts Reveal What To Expect If Dogecoin were to produce a similar percentage expansion from a higher base, the arithmetic would also be straightforward. Using $0.15 as a reference level, a move equivalent to the late-2024 rally would project the price to around $0.60 to $0.67. That scenario assumes the same kind of rally seen previously, where the consolidation finally gives way to a parabolic rally, not a gradual grind higher. In practical terms, a trader holding 1,000 DOGE at $0.15 would have a position valued near $150 at entry, while a move to anywhere between $0.60 and $0.67 would lift that same holding into the $600 to $675 range. These figures do not come with any suggested timeline. Instead, they serve to show how Dogecoin’s past parabolic moves would translate if the same price behavior were applied to current levels. Even under that framework, the projected move is below Dogecoin’s existing all-time high of $0.76. At the same time, separate outlooks are already pointing to a push beyond that peak, with one notable prediction expecting a move to $0.80 very soon.

Ethereum has once again failed to hold above a critical resistance zone, retracing from the $3,300 level back toward the $3,100 area. The pullback highlights the market’s ongoing struggle to establish a sustainable recovery, as bullish momentum continues to fade near key technical thresholds. While buyers have managed to prevent a deeper correction for now, the inability to reclaim higher levels has reinforced a cautious tone across the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Tests Key Resistance While $4.7B In Sell-Side Liquidity Builds Beyond price action, on-chain data adds an important layer to this weakness. According to data from CryptoQuant, Ethereum’s Coinbase Premium Gap has dropped sharply into negative territory. This metric, often used as a proxy for US institutional demand, reflects the price difference between Coinbase and offshore exchanges. A negative reading suggests that buying interest from US-based investors is lagging behind global activity, reducing the probability of a strong upside continuation. Historically, sustained Ethereum rallies have coincided with a positive Coinbase Premium, signaling consistent institutional accumulation. The current divergence between price attempts to stabilize and weakening US demand creates a structural headwind for bulls. As long as this premium remains negative, reclaiming the $3,300 level becomes increasingly difficult. For now, Ethereum appears trapped in a fragile range, where price stability depends less on aggressive buying and more on the absence of renewed selling pressure. The coming sessions will be decisive in determining whether this consolidation evolves into a recovery or resolves to the downside. Coinbase Premium Weakness Undermines Recovery Attempt A new on-chain signal is reinforcing the cautious outlook for Ethereum as it trades below key resistance. Analysis shared by CryptoQuant and highlighted by CryptoOnchain shows that the Coinbase Premium Gap has deteriorated sharply, reaching its most negative level in nearly a year. The 14-day moving average of the metric has fallen to around -2.3, indicating that ETH prices on Coinbase are trading at a notable discount compared to Binance. This divergence matters because Coinbase activity is often used as a proxy for US institutional demand. When the premium turns deeply negative, it typically signals that buyers in the US spot market are either stepping aside or actively distributing rather than accumulating. That dynamic is unfolding as Ethereum remains capped below the $3,300 resistance zone, following its sharp correction from the October peak near $4,700. The combination of weak price follow-through and declining Coinbase demand creates a bearish divergence. While ETH attempts to stabilize, the lack of institutional participation reduces the probability of a sustained breakout. Historically, strong Ethereum rallies have required a positive Coinbase Premium, reflecting consistent inflows from US-based investors. Until this gap narrows and flips back into positive territory, Ethereum’s upside appears constrained. For now, the data suggests caution is warranted, as the persistence of weak US demand increases the risk that recent consolidation resolves into another leg lower rather than a confirmed recovery. Related Reading: XRP Sees Back-to-Back Liquidation Waves: Binance Absorbs Majority Of Liquidations Ethereum Struggles As Recovery Lacks Confirmation Ethereum’s price action remains fragile after failing to reclaim the $3,300 resistance zone. On the daily chart, ETH is trading near the $3,100–$3,150 area, a level that has acted as a short-term pivot but has not yet attracted strong follow-through from buyers. The broader structure still reflects a corrective phase rather than a confirmed trend reversal. From a technical perspective, ETH remains below its key moving averages. The 50-day moving average is sloping downward and continues to cap upside attempts, while the 100-day and 200-day moving averages sit higher, reinforcing a heavy overhead supply zone between roughly $3,300 and $3,600. Each rally into this region over recent weeks has been met with renewed selling pressure, highlighting persistent distribution. Related Reading: Bitcoin Enters Accumulation Regime: Market Supported By Seller Exhaustion, Not Buying Surge The sequence of lower highs since the October peak near $4,700 remains intact. Although price has stabilized compared to the sharp November sell-off, the rebound so far resembles consolidation within a bearish structure rather than a new impulsive move. Volume has also moderated during recent advances, suggesting limited conviction behind the bounce. On the downside, the $2,900–$3,000 range stands out as a critical support area. A sustained break below this zone would expose Ethereum to a deeper retracement toward the mid-$2,600s. For bullish momentum to regain credibility, ETH must reclaim $3,300 with strength and hold above the declining moving averages. Until then, the chart argues for caution, with downside risks still present despite short-term stabilization. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

According to an ambitious research study published by asset manager and cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer VanEck, Bitcoin (BTC) could potentially reach a staggering price of $2.9 million per coin by 2050. The insights come from Matthew Sigel, the firm’s Head of Digital Assets Research, and Senior Investment Analyst Patrick Bush, who have employed a valuation framework based on Bitcoin’s role in two primary total addressable markets: as a medium of exchange (MoE) and as a reserve asset for central banks. VanEck Projects 15% CAGR For Bitcoin In their analysis, Sigel and Bush project a 15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from Bitcoin’s current levels, which would position the cryptocurrency as a significant player in the global economy. Related Reading: Did Morgan Stanley Orchestrate Bitcoin October Crash? Analysts Draw Correlations The report outlines two structural shifts that they believe will be pivotal for Bitcoin’s appreciation. The first, dubbed the Settlement Pivot, predicts that by 2050, Bitcoin will be responsible for settling between 5% and 10% of global international trade, as well as 5% of domestic trade transactions. The second crucial aspect, referred to as the Reserve Pivot, connects Bitcoin’s potential growth to waning trust in G7 sovereign debt. As confidence in these currencies diminishes, the authors anticipate that central banks might allocate resources toward Bitcoin as a hedge against fiscal instability. Yet, the VanEck report does not stop at a mere base case; it also explores a more optimistic scenario termed the Bull Case. ‘Hyper-Bitcoinization’ In this scenario, known as “hyper-bitcoinization,” if Bitcoin captures 20% of international trade and 10% of domestic GDP, its value could skyrocket to $53.4 million per coin, representing a major 29% CAGR. Achieving this would require Bitcoin to either equal or surpass gold’s status as a primary global reserve asset, making up nearly 30% of financial assets worldwide.

Interestingly, it incorporates a Bear Case target of $130,000, reflecting a modest 2% CAGR. In terms of correlation, VanEck anticipates that Bitcoin will exhibit low to moderate correlation with global equities, bonds, and gold over various market cycles. Notably, they emphasize a persistent negative correlation with the US Dollar (DXY), reinforcing Bitcoin’s potential role as a hedge against monetary debasement.
