DOGE's recent surge follows a period of consolidation, during which whales accumulated significant amounts of the token. This accumulation phase set the stage for the coin's breakout, as it managed to overcome the $0.34 resistance level.
Analysts attribute the renewed interest in DOGE to the broader market's recovery and growing anticipation surrounding Elon Musk’s potential involvement in shaping crypto-friendly policies under Donald Trump’s administration.
Analysts remain optimistic about Dogecoin’s future, doubling down on predictions of the asset reaching $1 during the current bull cycle. Achieving this milestone would require DOGE to more than double its current valuation, but its historic price action and growing adoption keep such targets within reach.
Dogecoin previously hit a peak near $0.5 following a massive rally in early November but faced a sharp correction in December, dropping to $0.26. However, the coin has rebounded strongly, positioning itself as a leading performer among meme-based cryptocurrencies.
With Trump’s inauguration on January 20 and the potential unveiling of Musk’s D.O.G.E. department, Dogecoin’s performance remains a topic of keen interest. Whether it can sustain its upward momentum and hit the $1 mark remains to be seen.
