Key Insights

  • Dogecoin has mostly followed Bitcoin's lead and is now one of the best-performing assets in the space.

  • This surge has helped the memecoin to reclaim a $30 billion market cap and flip XRP as the 7th largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

  • Dogecoin could be set to break the $1 mark soon if the ongoing crypto trajectory continues.

  • This break will depend on its performance, which will be around $0.2, $0.6, and $0.74.

The crypto market is gaining momentum once again, and the memecoin sector is a direct beneficiary.

According to data from CoinmarketCap, Dogecoin is once again leading the memecoin sector.

Its spectacular performance on the weekly timeframe has led to questions:

Will Dogecoin hit the much-anticipated $1 mark soon?

Dogecoin on a bullish roll

Recently, the cryptocurrency saw a massive 23% surge in a mere 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday, which allowed it to reclaim the $0.20 level and hit a market cap of $30.32 billion.

Its trading volumes are now near $10 billion despite the ongoing correction, and investors are speculating:

How likely is Dogecoin to continue further upwards?

Let’s see what might lie ahead for this popular cryptocurrency.

Dogecoin Breakout—Aiming for a 52-Week High

Dogecoin's daily price chart shows a decisive breakout from a falling wedge pattern.

This indicates a major bullish signal and the start of an upward price trend.

A bullish trend on Dogecoin

This breakout pushed the cryptocurrency above the critical $0.1930 level on the Fibonacci scale.

Said breakout was also followed by three consecutive bullish candlesticks.

This means that within 72 hours, the price of Dogecoin has increased by nearly 40%, crossing the psychological $0.20 mark.

This impressive price action has also allowed Dogecoin to reach a $30 billion market cap and replace Ripple's XRP as the seventh-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

Aside from the aforementioned, several factors are also supporting Dogecoin's uptrend.

One of these is the golden crossover between its 50- and 200-day EMAs.

On the flip side, the 100-day EMA has also crossed over the 200-day EMA.

To top things off, the MACD indicators align towards a bullish sentiment, with the signal line moving above the MACD line.

If this trend continues, Dogecoin could reach a new 52-week high, possibly above the $0.229 mark.

Interestingly, if Dogecoin successfully breaks above $0.229, the next Fibonacci resistance level will sit at around  $0.2976.

Can Dogecoin Hit $1?

Dogecoin’s weekly chart shows that the price is recovering from the bearish cycle of 2021-2022.

It is also forming a “rounding bottom” pattern above the 200-week EMA.

This could be a sign of a long-term reversal and, if $0.33 breaks, signal a further rally to around $0.569.

Is $1 feasible?

The charts show that for Dogecoin to reach the anticipated $1 mark, it must first break past this $0.569 resistance.

Analysts generally believe the 1.272 Fibonacci level at $1 is the next psychological milestone.

This means that if Dogecoin can break above $0.569  and its previous ATH of $0.74, the $1 mark might be a piece of cake.

Market Sentiment and Dogecoin’s “Unstoppable” Narrative

The enthusiasm around Dogecoin has been held up by positive sentiment in the crypto community.

Bitcoin recently broke past its $73,700 and surged to $75,000 amid reports of Donald Trump's victory in the US elections.

According to recent insights from crypto analyst Erica Hazel, Dogecoin’s momentum “looks unstoppable” after it crossed the $0.17 resistance level.

According to other analysts, Dogecoin's popularity—especially with Trump's victory and Elon Musk's proposed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.)—could be a major catalyst.

If this initiative gains ground, it could increase Dogecoin's visibility and even be directly responsible for this $1 touchdown.

U.S. Election Results, Dogecoin and Memecoins

The recent U.S. presidential election has also stirred interest in memecoins.

In a recent tweet, analyst Miles Deutscher said that the presidents Trump and Kamala Harris could affect the general direction of crypto.

However, the analyst notes that the expected D.O.G.E. initiative could boost Dogecoin’s visibility under Trump.

It could also trigger massive FOMO in investors and an enormous rally across most of the memecoins in the space.

What might happen with DOGE?

While there is no way of telling what will drive the $1 Dogecoin price—or whether it will even happen at all:

Its strong rally and market support show that better days are coming for cryptocurrency.

The technical indicators in the charts show strong momentum and a break above the $0.2 mark could be the key.

The broader political landscape could also push the memecoin further when combined with Bitcoin's push for a new all-time high.

Whatever the catalyst is—whether social media or renewed investor interest in memecoins—Dogecoin has a lot of potential, especially in the bull market.

If the cryptocurrency maintains its current momentum, we might see yet another play for the $1 mark.

This would also solidify Dogecoin’s position as one of the most resilient memecoins in the crypto space.
