Dogecoin (DOGE) could experience a massive bull run in the near future, potentially reaching $1, according to independent market analyst Kaleo. His bullish prediction is based on DOGE’s historical price rallies following Bitcoin (BTC) halvings. Let’s delve into this fractal analysis and its implications.
Dogecoin’s Trends Post-Bitcoin Halving
Throughout its 9.5-year history, DOGE has largely traded sideways or downwards. However, the memecoin has defied these trends at least twice, experiencing meteoric rises of 6,000% and 30,000%. Both rallies occurred 8-9 months after Bitcoin’s halving events, which reduce BTC’s supply rate by half every four years.
The most recent Bitcoin halving took place in May 2024. Since then, Dogecoin’s price has exhibited a similar sideways pattern observed after previous halvings. If this fractal pattern continues, DOGE could break out to the upside after December 2024.
“With that in mind, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the current bullish trend break lower back to the 8-10 cents range and retrace the February move up that we saw,” Kaleo noted. He added, “A similar trend break with a ~30% drawdown and retrace happened in August of 2020, several months before the beginning of DOGE going mainstream and gigasending.”
The Role of Altseason in DOGE’s Potential Surge
Kaleo’s bullish outlook is fueled by the increased demand for altcoins following Bitcoin halving events, a period known as “altseason.” Typically, Bitcoin experiences significant price increases before the halving. Afterward, traders often take profits from Bitcoin and invest in altcoins like Dogecoin, which can offer better gains. Kaleo predicts, “I still believe we’re in a memecoin supercycle and we’ll see DOGE send to $1-2. History just says we most likely have a little bit of time left to prep for it before it happens.”
Elon Musk’s Influence on Dogecoin
Dogecoin’s price gains in the 2020-2021 period post the third Bitcoin halving were heavily influenced by Elon Musk’s tweets. The billionaire entrepreneur’s support for Dogecoin, calling himself the “Dogefather,” significantly impacted DOGE’s market value. The coin reached its highest level of around $0.60 on the day Musk appeared on Saturday Night Live in May 2021, though it has since declined by up to 85%.
DOGE bulls are optimistic about another price boom due to Musk’s potential involvement. Notably, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) has hinted at integrating DOGE payments into the social media platform’s upcoming payment service, X Payments. As of June 2024, X Payments’ regulatory documents do not currently include cryptocurrencies. However, the Dogecoin community remains hopeful for future crypto integration.
Conclusion
Dogecoin’s historical trends and current patterns suggest a potential price surge to $1 amid a memecoin supercycle. With Bitcoin’s halving history and Elon Musk’s influence, DOGE could see significant gains in the near future.
