The Dogecoin price has been experiencing severe volatility and extended periods of sideways trading in recent weeks. However, seasoned analysts suggest that there’s little reason to panic. Beneath the short-term turbulence lies a long-term structure that experts believe could set the stage for a major price breakout. They suggest that the broader technical picture paints a bullish narrative, one that could eventually drive DOGE above $1 once momentum resumes. Long-Term Accumulation Signal Dogecoin Price Next Bull Run According to a technical analysis presented by crypto analyst EtherNasyonal on X social media this week, the Dogecoin price is preparing for a major bull run above $1. He explained that the DOGE’s price action remains within a powerful long-term Ascending Channel, maintaining structural integrity despite ongoing price fluctuations. His analysis of the monthly chart reveals that the meme coin has been establishing a multi-year accumulation base, similar to the patterns formed before its explosive rallies in 2017 and 2021. Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin Price Is At Risk Of Another 10% Crash EtherNasyonal highlights that momentum is quietly building above key support levels, indicating that the next expansion phase could be forming. The chart illustrates that Dogecoin, which has been trading within a rising parallel channel since 2014, is currently consolidating around the lower boundary near $0.18. Historically, each time Dogecoin has completed a similar descending pattern within this structure, it has initiated a parabolic move upward. The previous breakout propelled the meme coin by several thousand percent, lifting it from fractions of a cent to all-time highs above $0.70. Dogecoin’s current chart setup suggests a repeat of this bullish behavior. A large, rounded base pattern is visible between 2022 and 2024, reflecting steady accumulation and a potentially decreasing selling pressure. EtherNasyonal’s projection targets the upper midline of the Ascending Channel, potentially above $1, if historical patterns play out as expected. Dogecoin False Breakdown Hints At Potential Reversal On shorter timeframes, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade provides additional context to Dogecoin’s current price action. His 4-hour chart highlights a “false breakout” followed by a “false breakdown.” Dogecoin initially broke above resistance near $0.206 but failed to hold, retracing sharply to retest the lower boundary around $0.178. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Macro Target Remains Above $2, And The Market Crash Hasn’t Changed It This quick reversal pattern, marked by aggressive selling followed by a swift rebound, often precedes a recovery move back toward former resistance levels. Trader Tardigrade’s chart structure indicates that the breakdown beneath the horizontal support level was short-lived, with buyers likely stepping in to absorb liquidity and push prices upward. The chart setup suggests that DOGE could soon reclaim the $0.20 – $0.21 region as the next target zone from its current price of $0.18. If the bounce continues and momentum aligns with the broader monthly structure, this could serve as the first leg of a sustained uptrend. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

What to Know: The crypto market dropped to $3.59T on October 30 A recovery pattern is beginning to form as it climbs to $3.69T the day after Crypto should still be relatively undervalued in the dip We’ve identified $PEPENODE, $HYPER, and $LINK as the best altcoins to buy The market cap for crypto fell below $3.59T on October 30, sparking concerns of a new crypto dip. However, for savvy buyers, it’s a chance to buy the best altcoins. While Bitcoin is holding steady above $110K, the overall crypto market cap fell to $3.59T on October 30. It has since rebounded to $3.69T, adding $100B back into the crypto market. One of the biggest losers during this decline was Pump.fun, which experienced a drop of over 20% from an intraweek high of $0.0053 to below $0.0042. Sustaining above $110K will be key for Bitcoin to drive the broader recovery of the cryptocurrency market. If it does, we may have already seen the worst of the dip, but there’s still plenty of time to scoop up cheap crypto before the market returns to normal. That’s why we’re taking a closer look at three altcoins we believe are undervalued at the moment. Let’s check out why PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), and Chainlink ($LINK) are the current best altcoins to buy. 1. PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) – Earn Your $PEPENODE with this World First Mine-To-Earn Meme Coin PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) is for everyone who wants to experience the feeling of building a crypto mining empire without needing the time and money required to make a real-world server farm. It’s a virtual crypto mining simulator with its own meme coin, $PEPENODE. Servers you buy through the PEPENODE project are all stored on-chain and passively generate $PEPENODE over time. You can access them through your own customizable virtual server room through the PEPENODE game by an in-browser interface. Each server node you buy adds to your overall hash rate, which generates passive $PEPENODE for you over time. More expensive servers offer a better hashing rate, but you’ll need to select the right combination to maximize your investment in $PEPENODE. The $PEPENODE token keeps the game’s economy running. While you’ll want most of your $PEPENODE invested in servers to keep your hash rate high, if you need to cash out or upgrade your servers, you can sell your nodes for a return in $PEPENODE. The more $PEPENODE you have invested, the better your returns will be. Investing from the start gives you an advantage over later players, and the best way to ensure you have enough $PEPENODE to spend on your first server farm is with the $PEPENODE presale. Getting to the top of the PEPENODE leaderboards could reward you with airdrops in other meme coins, including $PEPE and $FARTCOIN. Any $PEPENODE purchased during the presale can be staked for rewards of up to 642% annually, significantly increasing your initial stack as soon as the game goes live. That’s why $PEPENODE has already raised over $2 million in presales, pushing the price to $0.0011272. Join the PEPENODE project before the game goes live. 2. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – A Hypercharged Solana-Based Layer-2 Upgrading Bitcoin’s Capabilities Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is revolutionizing the way we perceive the Bitcoin network. It’s upgrading Bitcoin’s transaction speeds and lowering clearing fees with a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) using zK rollups. Buying Bitcoin is an excellent idea if you need a long-term investment asset that you won’t be trading frequently. However, if you want to make a time-sensitive $BTC transaction, you’re going to be paying excessive transaction fees – and you’ll still have to wait at least ten minutes. However, Bitcoin Hyper aims to reduce transaction friction for Bitcoin to comparable levels with Ethereum and Solana. Instead of using Layer-1 for transactions, Bitcoin Hyper uses a separate Layer-2 with an SVM to temporarily record trades in a ledger. These transactions are then written back to the Layer-1 when congestion is low, offloading pressure from the Bitcoin network. This Layer-2 also supports smart contracts, allowing you to use DeFi services, trade NFTs, and swap crypto with $BTC. $HYPER is the lifeblood of the Bitcoin Hyper network. The official utility token grants you access to the Bitcoin DAO as well as exclusive features on select dApps running on the Bitcoin Hyper network. Best of all, it reduces the fees you pay when trading crypto using Bitcoin Hyper, where you can vote on the project’s future. The $HYPER presale is still live, having raised over $25.3M in token presales. It’s now $0.013195 per token, but if you buy now, you can lock in up to 46% in staking rewards. We’ve put together a quick ‘How to Buy Bitcoin Hyper’ guide if you need more information. Get your $HYPER tokens today and earn up to 49% in staking rewards. 3. Chainlink ($LINK) – Bridging the Gap Between On-Chain Trust and Off-Chain Data $LINK is the native token of Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network that enables blockchain developers to build smart contracts that securely connect with external data sources. Developing infrastructure for Web3 is very different from working with the rest of the internet. You can assume that the data sources you’re working with are verified on-chain and thus trustworthy, but that’s not true if the data you need to process comes from off-chain sources. Chainlink solves this problem by providing tamper-proof information provided by a decentralized network. Each Chainlink operator runs nodes that can be asked for data by other blockchain programs. The node fetches the data from the internet, which is then presented back to the chain. If the data provided is validated by the rest of the nodes in the network, the Chainlink operator is rewarded with $LINK. $LINK is currently trading at $17.22, representing a 45% increase over the last year. Although October was a difficult month for $LINK, it remains the 13th largest cryptocurrency by market cap at $12 billion. Additional institutional investment into $LINK could see the token jump to over $20. For example, JPMorgan completed its first inter-chain fund transfer this year after using Chainlink to facilitate a trade between its internal Kinexys blockchain and the Ondo Finance chain. News of this boosted the coin’s value by $4 in May 2025. You can purchase $LINK through any major CEX or DEX. All crypto products are volatile. Be sure to always do your own research before investing – and only invest what you’re prepared to lose. This article is not financial advice.

Bitcoin mining is entering a new era in Japan, where it’s no longer viewed as an energy drain. The transformation is being spearheaded by Canaan (CAN), a forward-thinking initiative that integrates BTC mining into Japan’s renewable energy ecosystem to balance power demand and supply. This Is How Bitcoin Fits Into National Energy Policy In an X post, crypto analyst TheGentleTraveler has shed light on a significant and innovative development at the intersection of Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure. CAN (Canaan Inc.) has announced a 4.5 MW smart BTC mining deployment set to power Japan’s energy grid. Related Reading: China’s Bitcoin Mining Isn’t Dead — It’s The World’s No. 3 Contributor According to TheGentleTraveler, CAN has secured a 4.5 MW contract in Japan to deploy its advanced Avalon A1566HA hydro-cooled mining servers for power-grid load balancing and energy-efficiency optimization. The project, which runs in collaboration with a major Japanese utility, will use Canaan’s smart-control chip capable of dynamically adjusting frequency, hashrate, and voltage in real time. This flexibility helps to stabilize the grid amidst rising AI and residential power demand. The GentleTraveler noted that this initiative reflects Canaan’s expanding strategic role, which combines BTC mining with renewable energy and AI infrastructure. Furthermore, it aligns seamlessly with Japan’s recent crypto-asset regulatory reforms. Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang emphasized that this technology allows utilities to utilize BTC mining as a digital load balancer. Zhang confirmed that similar deployments have already been launched in the Netherlands, with further expansions planned for 2026. Despite this groundbreaking news, CAN’s stock is currently down – 7% after the announcement. This short-term dip is attributed to a combination of the general weakness in the broader BTC sector and the At-The-Market (ATM) announced by Canaan last Friday. How Bitcoin Miners Become Long-Term Investors A key observer in the Bitcoin landscape, GoMining, has stated that every block mined secures the network and strengthens BTC’s role in the modern economy. GoMining has highlighted several standout developments from the past week that collectively underscore this accelerating trend of institutional and sovereign adoption. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selloff: BTC.com Pool Sent 186,000 BTC To Binance In October The expert first draws attention to the strategic actions of mining companies in the US, exemplified by American Bitcoin Corp boosting its reserves to 3,865 BTC. According to GoMining, this is proof that miners are not just securing the network; they are becoming long-term institutional holders. Meanwhile, France’s National Assembly has advanced a bill to create a national BTC reserve, a signal that sovereign adoption is moving from concept to policy. Furthermore, GoMining explains that the public companies now collectively hold over $117 billion in BTC, representing a substantial 38% increase in Q3 alone. Such a surge indicates a growing trend where corporate balance sheets are becoming part of BTC’s security layer. GoMining concluded that every hash is a vote for an open institutional future.
