An analyst has explained how Dogecoin falling to the lower level of a Parallel Channel could trigger a notable surge, should the support floor hold. Dogecoin May Have Been Moving Down A Parallel Channel Recently In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a long-term pattern in the monthly price chart of Dogecoin. The pattern in question is a “Parallel Channel” from technical analysis (TA), which forms whenever an asset observes consolidation between two parallel trendlines. Related Reading: Bitcoin Shark & Whale Wallets Jump Despite Bearish Price Action The upper level of the pattern tends to be a source of resistance, while the lower one that of support. Together, the lines keep the price trapped in the region enclosed by them. In the case of an escape, the asset may see a sustained move in the direction of the break. That is, a surge above the channel can be a bullish sign, while a drop under it is a bearish one. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows the Parallel Channel that Dogecoin has potentially been trading inside for the last few years on the monthly timeframe: As displayed in the above graph, the 1-month Dogecoin price retested the upper level of this Parallel Channel at the end of 2024, but the memecoin ended up finding rejection. During most of 2025, the channel’s middle line held tight for DOGE, preventing further bearish action. In the last quarter of the year, however, the level finally gave out, and since then, the coin has seen an extended drawdown. Currently, the asset is still a notable distance over the pattern’s lower level, but if its trajectory from the last few months continues in the near future, it’s possible that it might close the gap. “I’m looking to buy the dip at $0.0537,” noted the analyst. “If this floor holds, we could see a 200% rally back to the mid-range at $0.16.” It now remains to be seen whether Dogecoin will end up retesting the support level of this Parallel Channel in the coming months, and if it does, whether the cryptocurrency will find a bottom at it.

From the chart, it’s visible that the Tom Demark (TD) Sequential indicator has given a reversal signal for Dogecoin following nine red candles, indicating that the bearish trend may be reaching exhaustion. In the two days since the signal has appeared, however, the asset has only slid down further.

Ethereum may be nearing a major inflection point, according to market analyst Ali Martinez (@alicharts on X), who argues that a confluence of technical structure and on-chain valuation data is beginning to tilt the setup back in bulls’ favor. In a post on X, Martinez said Ethereum is showing signs of a “major structural shift,” pointing to a multi-year ascending triangle on the weekly chart, a recent test of support near $1,800, and a historically significant drop in the MVRV ratio. Taken together, the message was clear: the recent weakness may have looked less like a breakdown and more like a reset inside a larger bullish structure. Ethereum’s Path To $10,000? Martinez framed the chart setup as the backbone of the thesis. “From a technical standpoint, ETH continues to trade within a well-defined ascending triangle on the weekly chart,” he wrote. “The recent move toward $1,800 served as a critical reaction point, aligning with the rising trendline of this multi-year structure.” In other words, the analyst is not treating the bounce as an isolated event. The relevance comes from where it happened: directly at a level he views as structurally important in the context of a long-duration pattern. Related Reading: Ethereum Investor Druckenmiller Predicts Stablecoin-Led Payment Systems That technical argument was paired with an on-chain signal Martinez described as even more consequential. He said Ethereum’s MVRV ratio recently fell below 0.8, a threshold he characterized as a rare valuation reset. “Historically, this is a ‘Generational Buy’ zone. We saw similar resets before the major bull rallies of the past,” he wrote. “The fact that this on-chain reset happened exactly as price tested the triangle’s support adds massive weight to the bullish thesis.” The logic of the call rests on that overlap. A chart support test on its own can invite skepticism, especially after prolonged weakness. But Martinez’ argument is that Ethereum is not only holding a key structural zone; it is doing so while on-chain data suggests the asset has entered an area associated with deep undervaluation in previous cycles. That does not guarantee a trend reversal, but it does sharpen the significance of the current range. Related Reading: Tom Lee Says Ethereum Looks Ready To Exit Crypto Winter He also pointed to a momentum shift on lower timeframes. According to Martinez, the daily Supertrend indicator has now turned green for the first time since May of last year, suggesting the long stretch of consolidation may be giving way to a new directional move. In his telling, the market is moving out of a “sideways grind” and beginning to rebuild upward momentum. From there, Martinez laid out the price levels that could define whether the thesis holds. He identified $2,356 as the first major level Ethereum needs to reclaim, followed by $2,647 and $3,639 as mid-term breakout targets. Beyond that, he marked $4,632 and $5,624 as longer-term expansion zones. The larger prize, however, sits further out. “A sustained move above $2,356 would be our first confirmation that ETH is moving out of ‘accumulation’ and into a true bull market expansion,” he wrote. “If it can clear the previous all-time high region near $4,900, the door opens for a move toward $10,000, as it will signal a breakout of the ascending triangle.” For now, the thesis remains conditional rather than complete. Martinez described the $2,000 to $1,800 range as a “prime accumulation zone,” while adding that the bull market is not “guaranteed” yet. That caveat matters. His case for a durable bottom depends on Ethereum holding the $1,800 floor and then reclaiming higher resistance levels in sequence. If that happens, the current setup could be remembered as an early-stage reaccumulation phase rather than just another bounce inside a broader range. At press time, ETH traded at $2,054.
