Dogecoin (DOGE) exhibited a strong resurgence on Friday following a brief pause the previous day.
Notably, despite the price struggling to gain footing amid a wider crypto market surge over the past few months, the largest memecoin demonstrated remarkable strength, surging roughly 23% in the past seven days. Analysts are now predicting an even bigger move for the crypto asset, which could catalyze a broader memecoin rally.
On Thursday, analyst TraderRocko shared one of the most bullish predictions for Dogecoin, utilizing Fibonacci projections to forecast a 150% price surge. He emphasized that current price levels might never be revisited, urging the Dogecoin community to capitalize on the opportunity.
“Last chance to buy $DOGE below $0.40… More than 60% chance it hits $1 by the end of Jan,” he tweeted.
This sentiment was echoed by analysts BitNull and MickeyBullCrypto, who agreed with the projection while highlighting a bullish triangle pattern, suggesting that a breakout could soon propel the price to new highs.
Meanwhile, popular analyst Trader Tandigrade highlighted momentum indicators like the Chande Momentum Oscillator and Relative Strength Index, which suggest significant upward potential.
“Dogecoin is set to finish the final stage of the bull run. The Chande Momentum Oscillator (ChandeMO) indicates that $DOGE still has a LONG way to go to reach the top in this cycle. LONG = in north direction, which could happen super-fast,” he tweeted, projecting an ambitious target of $5.
Historical comparisons further strengthen these bullish predictions. In a Jan. 15 tweet, Martinez pointed out that DOGE could replicate a 2021-style bullish surge, with several key factors aligning.
“During the last bull cycle, DOGE began its second upward leg in the week of January 25, 2021, after a 56% price correction. Over the past few weeks, it has faced a 46% correction. If history repeats, the next rally could start as early as next week,” he stated. Notably, following the 2021 correction, DOGE experienced a substantial surge, suggesting that a similar move now could propel the price to around $4 from its current value.
Adding to the bullish sentiment is the spike in whale activity. On Friday, crypto tracking platform Whale Alert reported a transfer of 400 million DOGE ($154 million) between unknown wallets, signaling potential whale accumulation. Moreover, on Thursday, Martinez highlighted that whales had purchased 200 million DOGE in under 48 hours, contributing to the 470 million DOGE accumulated earlier in the week.
Beyond speculation, optimism is fueled by expectations of an improved crypto landscape in the U.S. following Donald *****’s inauguration, alongside rumors of Tesla accepting DOGE as payment and its potential integration into Elon Musk’s X Money platform. These developments point to increased mainstream adoption and the emergence of real-world use cases for the token.
At press time, DOGE was trading at $0.4119, reflecting a 9.38% surge in the past 24 hours.
