A crypto analyst has predicted that Dogecoin’s price action will pump very hard soon if on-chain data is any indication. The meme coin has been trading around $0.10, but a set of network metrics is beginning to provide a constructive outlook. Despite the lackluster price action, some analysts believe a recovery may be closer than the price chart suggests. These predictions are based on different factors, but one notable one is the increase in the number of active addresses that are interacting with the Dogecoin network. Dogecoin Active Addresses Jump 176% In One Week Recent data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment points to a significant rise in participation on the Dogecoin network. According to information shared by Ali Martinez, the number of active DOGE addresses increased from 41,557 to 114,662 within the past week, representing a 176% jump. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Can Still Cross $1: Historical Cycle Performance Points To 750% Rally The chart data of active Dogecoin addresses shows that activity increased at the end of the previous week. Earlier readings were around the 40,000 to 70,000 range before an activity run pushed the number of active addresses above 100,000. The final bar on the chart shows the figure reaching above 114,000 addresses, the highest level in months. Active addresses are one of the measures of real network engagement. A rise in this metric usually indicates that more users are sending, receiving, or interacting with the asset. In the case of Dogecoin, which is known for its waves of retail participation, a sudden increase in address activity can be a sign that attention is returning to the meme coin. Commentator Says DOGE Could Pump Hard The jump in network activity quickly led to reactions among market observers. Crypto commentator Myles G. responded to the data by stating that Dogecoin will “pump hard soon,” linking the increase in active addresses to the possibility of a stronger price move ahead. Such reactions are not unusual in crypto markets. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that the analyst would be anticipating a hard pump for the Dogecoin price. Related Reading: Why The Dogecoin EMA Is The Level That Will Determine The Next Price Move Arguably, the most consequential development for the possibility of Dogecoin pumping hard is what appears to be coordinated accumulation by large wallet holders. Another update shared by Ali Martinez adds a different dimension to the recent activity surrounding Dogecoin. According to the analyst, whales purchased approximately 470 million DOGE over the past 72 hours. The chart attached to that post shows the amount of Dogecoin held by large holders climbing from March 12 to March 14. Technical analysis of the Dogecoin price action shows that strength is already building for the meme coin. All it needs is to hold above $0.105 before the end of the week. If history is any precedent, the increase in whale holdings could be the first step in a repricing to the upside. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Every few years, a chart pattern resurfaces in the Bitcoin market that commands serious attention because it has repeated itself with near-mechanical consistency across every major US midterm election cycle since Bitcoin first started trading. Bitcoin’s price history shows that these election-year corrections often happen near the end of major bull cycles before eventually giving way to another powerful expansion phase. Now, with the 2026 midterm cycle underway and Bitcoin already more than 50% off its all-time high, the coming months could include both a deeper correction and a much larger long-term rally. Bitcoin’s History With Mid-Term Election Years A recent chart analysis shared by crypto analyst Crypto Patel on the social media platform X examined how Bitcoin has behaved during past US midterm election years to create a recurring pattern of price movement. Particularly, Bitcoin posted steep losses in each of the three completed midterm election years on record. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Crypto Exchanges Could Be In Trouble, Here’s Why The first example appeared in 2014, when Bitcoin dropped by about 86% from its previous all-time high during the election year period. A similar development occurred in 2018, when the Bitcoin price action recorded another deep bear market, with Bitcoin falling about 84% from its peak. The pattern appeared again in 2022, when Bitcoin declined roughly 77% from its previous cycle high. Each of these corrections took place around the same stage of the four-year market cycle that coincided with US midterm elections. As shown in the chart below, each of the previous cycles had bottomed one or two months after the midterm elections. Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: @CryptoPatel On X What The 2026 Cycle Could Mean For Bitcoin Bitcoin reached its most recent peak in October 2025, and the price action has since moved into a notable correction phase. Price data shows Bitcoin currently trading around $73,600, placing it roughly 42% below that all-time high. The lowest point of the decline so far came in February, when Bitcoin briefly dropped to about $63,000, which makes a correction of about 52% from the peak. If the historical election cycle pattern repeats in a similar fashion, then Bitcoin’s price could still see one final phase of downside before the beginning of the next long-term recovery phase.

The more consequential argument in Crypto Patel’s analysis is not the projected drawdown but what might follow the bottom. A review of price action that followed previous US midterm election years shows that Bitcoin recorded an average rally of about 54% before a minor pullback. That temporary pullback was later followed by a stronger rally that carried the price to new highs ahead of the next election cycle. Based on this historical sequence, the next major move after the 2026 midterm elections could eventually carry the Bitcoin price above $400,000 in the long term.
