Crypto analyst TradingShot has revealed that the Dogecoin price has entered a bullish pattern, which could spark a parabolic rally to $1.5. Interestingly, the analyst also raised the possibility of the foremost meme coin reaching double digits. Dogecoin Price Eyes $1.5 With Bullish Livermore Cylinder Pattern In a TradingView post, TradingShot revealed that the Dogecoin price is inside a Livermore’s Cylinder, which suggests that the meme coin could soon rally to as high as $1.5. The analyst noted that DOGE has been trading within a bullish megaphone for the majority of its Bull Cycle since the October 9, 2023, low. Related Reading: Dogecoin Breaks Out Of 4-Year Bearish Streak With 65% Rally In line with this, TradingShot declared that this may technically have been so far one massive accumulation phase along with the rest of the altcoin market. This is where the Livermore Accumulation Cylinder comes in, as it draws comparisons with the Megaphone pattern. Based on this Livermore model, the analyst stated that the Dogecoin price is starting the aggressive breakout phase above the Cylinder. With the accumulation technically over, TradingShot predicts that the Dogecoin price may pursue levels 8 and 9, which give price targets of $1.50 and $12, respectively. These price levels will mark new all-time highs (ATH) for DOGE, with its current ATH at around $0.73. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the meme coin could reach this $1.5 target between now and year-end. Meanwhile, the Dogecoin price could reach $12 by July next year. In line with this, TradingShot admitted that the $12 target is not expected to happen in this current Bull Cycle, which he predicts would end in the next six months or thereabout. However, he added that the $1.50 target is well within reach in this cycle and exactly double the price of the previous cycle high. Therefore, the analyst declared that this target is a “very attractive top candidate.” Bullish Engulfing Candle About To Form For DOGE In an X post, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that the DOGE monthly candle will close in just one week and that a Bullish Engulfing Candle is likely to be established. In line with this, he declared that a big moment is coming for the Dogecoin price. His accompanying chart showed that the meme coin could reach as high as $7.5 on this run. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Prediction: Expect 60% Liftoff If This Channel Breaks: Analyst In another analysis, he declared that a rally to $1 is incoming for the Dogecoin price, echoing TradingShot’s prediction. His accompanying chart showed that the foremost meme coin could reach this psychological level between now and September. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.22, up over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Dogecoin could be approaching a structural breakout that carries it to the long-discussed $1 threshold, according to crypto analyst Stephan Burns, who in a July 24 livestream described a “perfect storm” of monetary design, market structure and what he characterizes as rare astrological alignments. Burns framed the move as an “inevitability,” while acknowledging timing uncertainty, arguing that the next parabolic advance could emerge within months. Is $1 Dogecoin Inevitable? Burns built his case first on tokenomics. Dogecoin’s fixed issuance of 10,000 DOGE per one-minute block—approximately 5.2 billion DOGE annually—translates today into an inflation rate of roughly 3.3% against a circulating supply he placed at 150 billion. With that supply base, he said, the network simultaneously sustains miner incentives, gradually replaces lost coins and avoids the periodic “supply shocks” embedded in Bitcoin’s quadrennial halving schedule. “It’s beautiful because of this inflation rate,” he said, calling Dogecoin “better as a currency than Bitcoin” precisely because of its predictability. By contrast, he argued, Bitcoin’s declining issuance—on track to fall below half a percent after the 2028 halving—forces a future reliance on transaction fees. “Eventually Bitcoin will be completely mined… the network has to be maintained by transaction fees. That’s probably not enough to incentivize miners at the end of the day,” Burns claims. Related Reading: Dogecoin Retests Crucial Support Following 8.6% Drop – Here Are The Levels To Watch He also asserted that Dogecoin’s governance surface is harder to co-opt than Bitcoin’s as large institutional and governmental actors accumulate BTC exposure. In his view, Dogecoin remains “the people’s currency,” with economic dilution limited by social and technical difficulty of altering code. The flat nominal issuance, he added, produces a declining percentage inflation rate over time without rendering the asset strictly deflationary or, in his words, vulnerable to miner attrition. Beyond economics, Burns devoted extensive time to what he calls “crypto astrology,” arguing that Dogecoin’s natal chart—anchored to its genesis block—now sits under exceptionally favorable transits. He highlighted Pluto’s conjunction with Dogecoin’s natal Moon, describing it as “a once in a roughly 250-year transit,” and an impending Jupiter return with the planet “exalted” near the project’s midheaven point. These, he claimed, historically correspond to phases of visibility, capital inflow and wealth symbolism. “Dogecoin is being activated… more than any other cryptocurrency this year,” he said, labeling the configuration a catalyst for renewed global attention. Burns linked those internal transits to a broader macro cycle, citing the approaching Saturn–Neptune conjunction at the first degrees of Aries in early 2026, which he associated—through earlier historical recurrences—with milestones such as the emergence of coinage and trade networks. Related Reading: Dogecoin Rally On Thin Ice: Analyst Predicts Sudden Shakeout In his view, that backdrop reinforces the plausibility of another speculative wave. A logarithmic review of Dogecoin’s price history, he said, shows three prior “parabolic” expansions separated by lengthening consolidation phases; the current basing structure, including what he described as an ascending W-pattern supported by long-term moving averages, could precede a fourth. “Just based off of that it looks like we may be due for another one of these parabolic moves up in the next few months,” he said, while conceding that “just because I think it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.” He further projected that a Dogecoin exchange-traded fund “will get approved” and place the asset “in the spotlight,” though he did not provide documentation beyond his expectation. Burns also contrasted Dogecoin’s relative resilience on its Bitcoin ratio with altcoins that have reverted to prior ranges, arguing that structural holding above pre-2020 levels supports his thesis. Summarizing his outlook, Burns reiterated what he called the “inevitability of Dogecoin going to $1,” framing that level as the maximal target in his public analysis for the forthcoming cycle. The timing, he implied, hinges on the interplay between tokenomics-driven accumulation and the unfolding of the transits he tracks. “I do think it’s going to moon,” he concluded. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.23. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

BitMEX co-founder and crypto investor, Arthur Hayes, has outlined the key catalysts that could drive the Ethereum price to a $10,000 all-time high by year-end. In a detailed market analysis, Hayes explains how expanding US credit policies, growing institutional interests, and a shift toward wartime economic strategies could create the ideal conditions for a major ETH price rally. Ethereum Price Set To Hit $10,000 By Year End On July 23, Hayes published an in-depth report on Substack, analyzing geopolitical trends and how they could create the ideal conditions for a major Ethereum price surge. The crypto founder has set a bold target of $10,000 for ETH by the end of 2025, attributing the future rally to macroeconomic shifts and increasing institutional appetite. Related Reading: This Ethereum Descending Broadening Wedge Pattern Looks Similar To 2019-2020, Here’s What Happened Last Time Hayes believes that as the US leans further into wartime economic policies under President Donald Trump’s reign, a wave of credit expansion could be unleashed—fueling “asset bubbles,” particularly in crypto. According to the BitMEX co-founder, Ethereum could benefit most from this environment. While Bitcoin remains the crypto reserve asset, Hayes notes that ETH has been largely overlooked since Solana’s explosive rebound post-FTX. However, he asserts that the tides are turning, especially among Western institutional investors who are starting to favor Ethereum-based assets. The crypto founder pointed to growing confidence in Ethereum from financial influencers like Tom Lee and a renewed interest in DeFi ecosystems as early signs of a potential breakout. Hayes’ venture capital firm, Maelstrom, is now also fully committed to ETH and the broader ERC-20 ecosystem. He has declared that the next ”Ether bull run” is imminent, forecasting a 176.3% rise from ETH’s current price of $3,619. Alongside his $10,000 Ethereum target, the crypto founder projected that Bitcoin could skyrocket to $250,000 before the end of the year. ETH Rally Tied To US Economic And Wartime Developments In his report, Hayes seemingly connects Ethereum’s upside potential to a broader macroeconomic narrative rooted in fiscal policy and geopolitical conflict. He argues that the US is shifting toward a form of state-sponsored capitalism or economic fascism designed to fuel wartime production. Related Reading: Ethereum ATH Above $4,800? Here’s How High It Will Go If 2021 Repeats According to the crypto founder, this strategy encourages banks to lend freely to companies without government-guaranteed profits. He noted that when the fiat supply increases without a corresponding rise in raw materials or labor, inflation becomes unavoidable. To manage this, he suggests the government may need to blow bubbles in non-essential assets like crypto, to absorb excess credit without destabilizing essentials like food or housing. Furthermore, Hayes believes that just as Ethereum stands to benefit from this environment, stablecoins may play a key role in building it. As the crypto market cap grows, so does the amount stored in stablecoins, most of which are reinvested into US Treasury bills. For instance, if the market cap of crypto hits $100 trillion by 2026, the BitMEX co-founder predicts that stablecoins could indirectly fund trillions in government debt, ultimately making crypto an integral player in sustaining wartime fiscal policies.

Ethereum is showing renewed strength after a sharp but short-lived pullback. Following its recent high of $3,860, ETH dipped to the $3,500 zone — a key level that quickly attracted buying interest. Now, price action is pointing upward again, with Ethereum pushing to reclaim the $3,700 range, signaling bullish momentum may be back in control. Related Reading: Bitcoin LTHs Start Distributing: CDD Ratio Hits Historic Levels Despite the recent volatility, on-chain data support the case for continued upside. According to Santiment, whales have been aggressively accumulating ETH throughout the pullback. This surge in accumulation suggests that institutional players are positioning themselves ahead of the next leg of the rally, anticipating strength in the coming months. These strategic inflows have historically preceded sustained upward trends. The resilience around the $3,500 level, combined with the swift recovery attempt, underscores Ethereum’s strong bullish structure. With a favorable macro environment, regulatory clarity, and mounting institutional interest, Ethereum appears poised for continued expansion as the second half of the year unfolds. All eyes are now on whether this bounce holds and leads to a renewed breakout above resistance. Whales Add Ethereum as US Legal Clarity Boosts Bullish Outlook Ethereum’s bullish momentum is being reinforced by aggressive accumulation from major investors. According to analyst Ali Martinez, whales have purchased more than 1.13 million ETH—worth approximately $4.18 billion—over the past two weeks. This surge in buying activity marks one of the most significant accumulation phases in recent months and signals rising confidence among institutional players. The accumulation comes at a critical time for Ethereum, which has been consolidating near the $3,700 level after a brief pullback from its $3,860 high. This whale activity not only adds fuel to the ongoing price recovery but also strengthens Ethereum’s bullish structure heading into the second half of the year. Beyond market behavior, macro and regulatory shifts are also favoring Ethereum and the broader altcoin market. The recent passage of the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act by the US Congress marks a pivotal moment for crypto legislation. These new laws offer long-sought legal clarity for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and digital assets, encouraging US-based innovation and capital flows into the space. This evolving regulatory framework removes one of the biggest barriers for institutional adoption of Ethereum and DeFi. With clearer rules and a growing appetite for ETH among whales, the stage is set for a potentially explosive rally if current momentum holds. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Realized Price Chart Reveals Key Defense Zones Amid Volatility ETH Holds Strong After Pullback Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength after a brief correction from its local top at $3,860. As seen in the 4-hour chart, ETH dipped to $3,500 but quickly bounced, reclaiming the $3,700 zone and closing in on key resistance at $3,776 and $3,860. This rebound indicates strong buyer interest and resilience in the uptrend. The price is now trading above all major moving averages (50, 100, and 200), which are stacked bullishly. The 50-SMA at $3,648 has provided dynamic support in recent sessions, while the 100-SMA and 200-SMA at $3,304 and $2,883, respectively, remain far below current price action—underscoring the strength of this upward move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holders Still Reluctant To Sell – Supply Active Data Shows Room For Upside Volume is picking up slightly as ETH consolidates in a tight range near resistance.
