Despite consolidating around the $0.24 area for months now, a new technical analysis suggests that the Dogecoin price could be gearing up for another explosive move this cycle. A crypto analyst has identified a recurring rounded bottom pattern in DOGE’s historic price chart, suggesting a familiar setup that often precedes massive rallies. The analyst argues that a combination of technical structure and macroeconomic conditions could once again send Dogecoin flying. Macro Correlations Suggest Dogecoin Price Rally Ahead In an extensive analysis shared on X social media, crypto market analyst Osemka highlighted a recurring pattern of rounded bottom formations in Dogecoin’s long-term price chart. His study compares the meme coin’s price behaviour against the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) and other altcoins collectively labelled as “ALTS (OTHERS),” illustrating how macroeconomic cycles influence crypto risk assets. Related Reading: House Of Doge Reveals Why Institutions Are Now Closely Watching Dogecoin The chart showcases how altcoins and the IWM help depict how the Dogecoin price historically lags behind broader market movements during early “risk-on” phases before entering its explosive bullish phase. Osemka pointed out that once IWM breaks out, altcoins typically begin to rally, yet DOGE remains dormant for a short period. However, the real price acceleration tends to occur only after the altcoin index surpasses its previous all-time high. The cyclical lag effect of the rounded bottom series positions the Dogecoin price as a late mover that benefits from the spillover momentum from IWM and “OTHERS.” The patterns mark long consolidation phases of accumulation before the analyst’s projected parabolic ascent begins. More importantly, the current market appears to align with these same pre-rally conditions, signaling that the meme coin is getting ready to “fly” but only when the macro environment shifts to “risk-on mode.” Expert Eyes Upcoming Dogecoin Price Discovery In a separate analysis, ‘Zero,’ another crypto market expert on X reinforced Dogecoin’s bullish thesis by emphasizing that a price discovery is imminent. His long-term chart, dating back to 2014, outlines three major accumulation and expansion cycles, each undergoing its own level of sideways action before a dramatic surge.

The Bitcoin price rise is not going to slowing down, according to market expert Anthony Pompliano. The well-known investor and founder of Professional Capital Management believes the top cryptocurrency still has a long way to go. In a recent video post on X, Pompliano revealed that Bitcoin’s value will continue to grow as long as governments and central banks continue to print more money. Anthony Pompliano Links Bitcoin Price Endless Rise To Global Money Printing During an interview with CNBC, Pompliano said Bitcoin’s rally is far from over. According to him, when more money enters the system, the value of paper currencies decreases, and people begin seeking more effective ways to protect their savings. Now the best approach for investors is to work hard, earn money, spend only what is necessary, and save the rest in Bitcoin. Related Reading: Pundit Says XRP Price Can Easily Hit $1,000 If This Happens As observed by Pompliano, this is what could drive the growth in Bitcoin prices. According to the market expert, Bitcoin could quickly become the preferred choice for people looking to protect their savings from inflation, serving as a simple ‘savings technology’ that preserves the value of their hard work. Pompliano emphasized that this idea is not about making money quickly, but about understanding how money loses value when central banks print more currency. Each dollar becomes weaker, while Bitcoin, with its fixed supply, continues to gain strength as more people use it for saving and investing. Scarcity resulting from Bitcoin’s fixed supply, combined with growing demand, could drive the Bitcoin price higher. Pompliano believes the pattern will last for many years. Bitcoin Becomes The New Benchmark In Modern Finance Pompliano also described Bitcoin as the new “hurdle rate” in modern finance. In simple terms, he said investors now compare all other assets to Bitcoin to judge whether they’re truly profitable. If a traditional asset cannot outperform Bitcoin, it is not a substantial investment. He compared Bitcoin’s growth to the S&P 500, noting that while the S&P has doubled since 2020, it has dropped nearly 90% when measured against Bitcoin. Related Reading: Pundit Predicts Potential XRP Price Rally From $3-$1,000 As It Replicates This Move From 2017-2018 Pompliano said that many traditional financial assets, including stocks and bonds, look profitable only when measured in fiat currencies. But when compared to Bitcoin, their returns fall short. Because of this, he said, investors are left with few options: they either buy Bitcoin or risk missing out on more substantial returns. Pompliano’s comments come after the Bitcoin price reached a new all-time high of $126,198, followed by a drop to $124,714. Even with the slight dip, the market expert believes the rally is not close to ending. As he put it, this is not just a rally — it’s the start of a long-term shift in how the world sees money and value. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto chartist Dark Defender says XRP’s current monthly structure has flipped back to the same high-momentum regime that preceded its 2017–2018 vertical run, arguing that a fresh impulsive wave is underway after last year’s breakout. In a detailed thread accompanying a multi-year monthly chart, the analyst urged followers to segment XRP’s history into “Left – Middle – Right,” contrasting a 2017 impulsive setup, a 2021 corrective detour, and what he calls today’s renewed continuation phase. XRP Is Repeating 2017 On the left side of the chart, Dark Defender highlights the 2017 template: candles closing above prior highs, price holding above Ichimoku Cloud support, elevated Relative Strength Index, and monthly closes above a key exponential moving average. “XRP had an impulsive wave by the end of 2017. This caused the RSI spike with a huge momentum… Volume and the speed were high, so was Momentum,” he wrote, adding that the thrust concluded a “five-wave” advance before a multi-month triangle consolidation formed. The RSI, he noted, flattened but stayed above his smoothed baseline, which he interprets as a bullish continuation signal rather than exhaustion. Related Reading: These Are The XRP Price Targets You Need To Know Now: Cubic Analytics Founder The middle section—anchored around 2021—marks the counterpoint. Dark Defender characterizes this period as a corrective A-B structure, with an A-wave decline from the 2018 peak and a B-wave rally that topped at $1.96. Momentum signatures weakened, and the trend lost its structural supports. “First and foremost, the structure in 2021 was a CORRECTIVE STRUCTURE,” he wrote. “The price was below the Ichimoku Clouds, hence bearish… The Triangle did not have any candles above the orange resistance… The exponential moving average… was broken downside.” He also reminds readers that “the lawsuit was ongoing,” situating the pattern in a period of headline risk and depressed trend quality. The right-hand panel is where his thesis turns decisively bullish. Dark Defender says a “CRUCIAL BREAK” he flagged on November 10, 2024 preceded a lasting upside extension that, in his view, reestablished an impulsive regime. “We announced a CRUCIAL BREAK… that XRP was going to break the ATH. Yes, 1 day before the extensive break,” he wrote, linking back to his prior post. He argues that the subsequent advance delivered the necessary checklist for trend validation: monthly Heikin Ashi closes above previous highs, price reclaiming and holding above the Ichimoku Cloud, a series of closes above the red EMA baseline, and a resurgent RSI profile that he explicitly compares to the 2017 impulse. “The IMPULSIVE WAVE structure has not yet been finalised,” he added, cautioning that a February 2025 pullback was corrective within a larger advance rather than the end of the move. Technically, the thread’s comparative anatomy hinges on consistent signals across timeframes and tools. In 2017 and again now, candles closed above resistance within triangle setups instead of failing at the boundary; price lived above Cloud support rather than beneath it; and the moving-average “red line” acted as dynamic support rather than resistance. Meanwhile, the RSI sequence that degraded in 2021—“medium strength… followed by the low strength”—has flipped back to what he calls a “similar high momentum like in 2017, but not in 2021.” In his summary, the 2017 segment was “entirely an impulsive 5 Wave structure,” 2021 was “Corrective and therefore Weak,” and 2024–2025 reflects a “NEW IMPULSIVE STRUCTURE” with continuation potential. Related Reading: $600 Million Worth Of XRP Tokens Are On The Move, Where Are They Headed? The analyst’s tone is unambiguously constructive. “Considering all the above facts, I remain bullish on XRP and the broader blockchain,” he wrote. “We are entering a new era… and I think the future of Ripple and XRP is bright, following the lodestar, Polaris.” He closes with a characteristic refrain to “think positively,” but the core of the argument rests on the checklist of trend-confirmation items now in place on the monthly chart. Whether XRP ultimately reproduces the magnitude of its 2017 move will depend on how long those signals persist—monthly closes, momentum sustainability above the Cloud, and respect for the EMA baseline—yet Dark Defender’s comparative framework is explicit: the market conditions that fostered XRP’s last explosive phase are, in his reading, back on the board. While the analyst refrained from naming an explicit price target in his latest post, he had outlined one earlier this month. In an October 2 post on X, Dark Defender wrote, “We were right on XRP. RSI weekly break, weekly trend break, targets are clear. Nothing can stop what’s coming,” sharing a projected $10.47 target as the culmination of XRP’s anticipated wave-5 structure. At press time, XRP traded at $2.80. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
