Investors in Dogecoin were sent mixed signals this week after market analysts disclosed forecasts regarding the future price action of the meme cryptocurrency. Some predict a spectacular rally, while others forecast a sharp decline before there can be any rally.
Analyst Predicts 500% Price Jump Based On Chart Pattern
From crypto commentator “Steph is Crypto,” Dogecoin looks primed for an epic price surge in excess of 500%. That’s the estimate based on a chart pattern seen before a preceding market cycle during which Dogecoin surged 501% after trending down in the last few weeks.
“Bottom signal flashing,” Steph tweeted on social media site X, implying that the same pattern is developing again following another 129-day downtrend. If this trend holds, Dogecoin will rise as much as $0.73583 within the next few weeks.

The Drop Before Reversal
Not everyone agrees with this optimistic view, though. An alternative prediction from SwallowAcademy on TradingView is that Dogecoin may first see a dramatic fall before it can go up. Their study of the price action of Dogecoin relative to Tether (USDT) indicates a possible 40% drop to the $0.09 support level.
SwallowAcademy’s analysis observes that following a brush with close to $0.23 earlier this year, Dogecoin dropped to $0.09 before rising above $0.45.
The analyst foresees the same trend happening, with a sharp drop followed by a four times jump that might ultimately retest the $0.45 level. When this report was made, Dogecoin was trading above $0.15.
Short-Term Trader Numbers Spike
Market intelligence company IntoTheBlock’s data shows dramatic shifts in the behavior of Dogecoin holders. Long-term holders who owned the cryptocurrency for more than a year fell by 2.67% last month. Medium-term holders (one to 12 months) fell by nearly 12%.
Meanwhile, short-term traders with holding time of less than one month rose by over 100%. This radical movement toward short-term speculation might signify greater price volatility since these traders will respond rapidly to changes in the market.
Large Investor Activity Shows Massive Increase
Perhaps the most dramatic statistics come from monitoring large holder transactions. Large holder inflows increased by over 5% in the last week, as reported by IntoTheBlock. On a longer term basis, these inflows were up 324% in the last 30 days.
This increase in whale activity indicates significant investors may be setting themselves up for future price action even though daily trading continues to be dominated by smaller, short-term traders.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
