The Dogecoin price action is now being closely examined through the lens of M2 Global Money Supply trends, with a new analysis pointing to a powerful bullish setup. Charts comparing Dogecoin and the M2 global liquidity curve suggest that the meme coin could soon make a decisive move toward $1. At the same time, long-term technical patterns suggest a potential rise toward a market capitalization in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Dogecoin Price And M2 Global Money Supply Signal $1 Breakout On October 4, crypto analyst Bull Bear Spot on X social media highlighted a striking correlation between Dogecoin’s price and the growth of the M2 Global Money Supply. His accompanying chart showed that as M2 liquidity expands worldwide, DOGE tends to follow in tandem, forming a bullish trajectory. The overlay suggests that the meme coin, currently trading around $0.25, may be gearing up for a renewed push toward the $1 milestone, representing a significant surge of approximately 289%. Related Reading: Historical Risk Levels Say Dogecoin Price Has Not Topped Yet, More Upside Coming? Furthermore, the analyst’s projection and logic are rooted in liquidity cycles. Typically, as central banks and global economies increase their money supply, risk assets, such as cryptocurrencies, often benefit from the spillover of excess capital. Dogecoin’s price structure over time has mirrored these macroeconomic liquidity waves, with previous peaks coinciding with surges in M2 growth, as seen in the chart. According to Bull Bear Spot, DOGE’s current bullish setup indicates that it could “pump at any time,” possibly taking the market by surprise. While Dogecoin is often dismissed as a speculative meme coin, the connection between its price action and global liquidity offers a unique perspective—one where the cryptocurrency could experience one of its most explosive rallies in years if historical patterns repeat. Dogecoin Market Cap Could Hit Hundreds Of Billions Adding to the bullish outlook, crypto market expert EtherNasyonal presented a long-term technical analysis indicating a significant increase in market capitalization. His chart illustrates Dogecoin completing a textbook Cup and Handle formation, a bullish continuation pattern often seen before major upward moves. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Is About To Complete Another Golden Cross, Why $0.33 Is The Key In his analysis, Dogecoin has already broken above a key resistance line, a level that had capped its price action for months. After the breakout, the meme coin successfully retested this resistance as new support —a critical step in confirming the strength of the breakout. This technical validation sets the stage for what EtherNasyonal calls a potential “DOGE season,” where the coin’s market capitalization could surge toward “$100 billions.” With Dogecoin’s current market cap hovering just under $40 billion, such a move would represent an exponential increase, bringing the meme coin into the same leagues as leading altcoins like Ethereum and Solana. EtherNasyonal’s chart indicates that a confirmed Cup and Handle breakout signals continued momentum that may drive DOGE well beyond previous highs.

Investment flows into crypto exchange-traded products surged to a record level last week, signaling strong demand from large investors. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $123,000 As Rising Open Interest Signals More Action Ahead According to CoinShares, crypto ETPs drew close to $6 billion in new money in the week that ended Friday, the biggest weekly inflow on record. Bitcoin led the move, taking in $3.6 billion alone as traders and funds piled into BTC offerings. Bitcoin Dominates The Week’s Inflows Reports have disclosed that the latest total beat the prior high of $4.4 billion by about 35%. The week’s gains were not evenly spread. While earlier records had been split more between Bitcoin and Ether, this time Bitcoin funds attracted the lion’s share. Ether ETPs still registered strong interest, adding $1.48 billion and bringing year-to-date inflows for Ether to roughly $13.7 billion. Solana ETPs pulled in $706.5 million, and XRP products saw $219 million. These figures show that investors are putting fresh capital into a range of crypto products, even as BTC takes the lead. Macro Headlines Drove Fresh Buying Based on reports, traders pointed to a mix of macro events that likely pushed allocations into crypto. A recent cut to interest rates by the Fed, weaker-than-expected employment numbers, and concerns about a US government shutdown were all cited by market watchers as triggers. Some investors treated crypto as an alternative play while political and economic worries persisted. Markets reacted fast. Bitcoin climbed above $125,000 during the week, a move that pushed total crypto assets under management past $250 billion, reaching a little over $254 billion. Technical Readings And Analyst Targets Add Fuel According to market analysts and on-chain data observers, the supply of Bitcoin on exchanges has dropped to levels not seen in six years. That trend is often read as holders choosing to keep coins off market platforms, which can reduce selling pressure.

As James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, describes, buyers did not even turn to short investment products at price highs. If this behavior does not reflect an intent to hedge against the uptick, then it reflects confidence that the asset continues to appreciate. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The shutdown entered its sixth day on Monday, with the SEC, CFTC and other agencies operating with restrictions and limited staff.
SwissBorg founding partner Alex Fazel believes the market is entering a multi-year, structurally different bull phase that could deliver “generational wealth,” laying out what he called an “alt season bible” for 2025–2026 in a wide-ranging interview with Altcoin Daily. Speaking in a probabilistic framework, Fazel argued that the confluence of a strengthening business cycle, easier monetary policy, and twin technology booms in crypto/Web3 and artificial intelligence creates the same kind of tailwinds that powered the post-dot-com “recovery cycle” in equities. “I really want to prove to everyone that this is the biggest cycle and the biggest chance for everyone to generate generational wealth,” he said, adding that his views are expressed in probabilities rather than certainties. The 2025–26 Crypto Altcoin Cycle Will Be Historic Fazel’s market structure thesis centers on a familiar rotation: Bitcoin leading, followed by Ethereum and the top-cap cohort, and then a broader dispersion into mid- and small-caps as Bitcoin dominance rolls over. He insisted that the current advance lacks the hallmark “euphoria stage”—a late-cycle condition he considers statistically common and, therefore, still ahead. “It is extremely rare… to have a bull cycle without euphoria,” he said, noting that sizable drawdowns will punctuate the trend without invalidating it. “We won’t see a long bear market anymore… We’re going to see a very extended bull run but with really big corrections along the way.” Related Reading: 2%–4% In Crypto? Morgan Stanley Thinks That’s The Smart Move Now To gauge cycle magnitude, Fazel prefers total crypto market capitalization over date-calling. He mapped prior expansions—roughly 45x from 2014 to 2017 and ~27x into 2021—into a conservative inference that a 2x–3x from the last cycle’s ~$3 trillion top would imply a $6–$9 trillion total capitalization before this run is exhausted. That—along with a still-missing euphoria phase—forms one of his primary exit heuristics. “Rather than just thinking about how long, look at how high,” he said. On sector leadership, Fazel’s team compiled a year-over-year basket (September 2024 to early September 2025) of tokens that outperformed Bitcoin on sustained timeframes to filter out “pump-and-dump noise.” The list he highlighted was dominated by DeFi and exchange-adjacent assets: Virtuals (AI-agent) with a 20x,Hyperliquid’s HYPE 7x, Sui and its DeepBook DEX as strong performers, Curve and Ethena Labs 2.5x–3x, SwissBorg’s BORG ~2.5x, and Raydium. His conclusion was blunt: “DeFi is the best sector to invest in,” with exchange tokens repeatedly among the most resilient leaders since 2018 due to clear product-market fit in speculation and fee generation. Fazel stitched those returns to an explicit capital-flows mechanism: buybacks. He showed a positive correlation, in his view, between top token performers and sustained buyback programs, and drew a parallel to equities where many of the cycle’s strongest stocks—including AI bellwethers—have announced large, continuing repurchases. He cautioned, however, that buybacks can be overwhelmed by emissions. “If you have $20 million buying the token, but an airdrop is emitting $53 million, do the math,” he said, citing this dynamic to explain why some well-known tokens underperformed despite revenue. What Else To Look For On Altcoins From there, he proposed a simple four-quadrant framework for token “pumpamentals”: clear utility that investors perceive as valuable; loyalty via locking; strong, sustainable, and scalable buybacks; and burns or other mechanisms that reduce float. Layer-1s, he argued, typically tick only the first two boxes and still rely on inflationary issuance for staking yields. By contrast, exchange tokens and some DeFi assets can check all four—particularly if fee-linked buybacks are hard-wired, ongoing, and diversified across product lines. Fazel also outlined an increasingly prominent buyer cohort of digital asset treasuries (DATs)—public companies that raise in fiat and accumulate crypto for their balance sheets—observing that this structure can “pump the stock and the token.” He pointed to high-profile examples in Bitcoin and Ethereum, stressing that balance-sheet accumulation simultaneously adds buy pressure and removes sell pressure. More broadly, he framed today’s market as a “supercycle” moment because retail, institutions, and corporate treasuries are now converging on crypto exposure—initially in BTC and ETH, but progressively further out the risk curve as confidence grows. Related Reading: 70% Decline In Corporate Crypto Treasury Buying: What’s Going On? Much of Fazel’s playbook is operational at SwissBorg itself. He disclosed that the company, founded in 2017 and now at “300+ employees” and “$2.4 billion” in assets under management, has shifted to a 50% revenue-to-buyback policy for its BORG token and intentionally delisted from centralized exchanges to “control supply” and concentrate liquidity and volume in-app. Fazel repeatedly returned to risk management, urging investors to think in probabilities and to be willing to “divorce” underperforming tokens that lack real revenues or sound token economics. He also addressed dilution fears sparked by the proliferation of new tokens, contending that almost none reach meaningful size. “Out of all these coins… 0.00001% have a market cap above $1 million,” he said, arguing that the sheer number of microcap launches should not preclude an altseason in larger, revenue-generating names. His timeline remains conditional, but his conviction in the structure is clear. He expects Bitcoin could suffer 30%–40% pullbacks without derailing a longer advance, believes the equity backdrop is still “AI-led” rather than in a blow-off, and contends crypto adoption curves move faster than Web2 because they build atop the existing internet. As for a headline Bitcoin target, he demurred on specifics, but hinted the ceiling is higher than casual forecasts imply. “Almost $200k for Bitcoin seems too small,” he said at one point, before pivoting back to total-market metrics and the presence—or not—of broad-based euphoria. At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $4.2 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
