DOGE

Dogecoin

Memecoin forecasts are resurfacing amid market volatility, with prominent voices outlining bullish cycle targets for Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.

The performances of Dogecoin and Shiba Inu this cycle have been disappointing for investors, who have waited years for the possibility of new all-time highs. Nevertheless, these two remain the largest meme coins by market cap and are often the first stop for investors looking to get into the meme market. Using predictions from the CoinCodex machine learning algorithm, this report will focus on the two leading meme coins and which one could bring the most returns in 2026. Dogecoin Could End Up A Better Investment Than Shiba Inu Since the year 2026 began, both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have struggled as their prices failed to see any notable recovery. But even this has not deterred expectations that the meme coins will recover. According to the CoinCodex website, both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu will see gains in the double-digits this year, but one will outperform the other.

Despite this being a 56.90% increase from the current levels, it is still more than 80% below its all-time high price of $0.00008. With this being the highest the meme coin is expected to go, investing in Shiba Inu could only end up bringing a 50% return on investment at best when buying at these levels. While this is a reasonable return, it pales in comparison to where the algorithm predicts Dogecoin could be in the same time period. Just like Shiba Inu, the Dogecoin recovery is expected to start out slow. However, the algorithm predicts that the rally will pick up toward the end of the year. In contrast to Shiba Inu’s highest returns being only 56.90%, the algorithm predicts that the Dogecoin price would rise by 124.71% in the third quarter of the year.

Not only this, the algorithm predicts that the rest of the year will be green for not only Dogecoin, but for Shiba Inu as well, suggesting that 2026 could be the year of recovery for the crypto assets. However, for now, both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu continue to struggle with no sign of a recovery. This is largely due to the poor performance of Bitcoin, which seems set to crash below $60,000, plunging the crypto market into another bear cycle.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently trading at $0.09330, up approximately 1.98% over the past 24 hours. The price showed initial weakness, dipping to around $0.0911, before sharply rebounding above $0.093. This volatility suggests buyers are defending the key support near $0.091. The recent upward momentum indicates growing short-term buying interest. If DOGE sustains above $0.0925, it could consolidate further, potentially targeting the next resistance near $0.094. Dogecoin Holds Trendline, but Momentum Remains Weak Dogecoin continues trading above the descending trendline near $0.09, maintaining a bullish structure according to Trader Targrade. Price has tested the trendline multiple times, showing consistent support around the $0.088 to $0.089 range. These repeated defenses suggest sellers are struggling to force a breakdown below the key structure. As long as DOGE holds above $0.088, the broader trend remains constructive. However, upside progress has been slow and lacks strong bullish conviction. Momentum remains weak, with low volume and shallow bounces signaling limited buying demand. Recent candles show hesitation, indicating bulls are not yet in control. Trader Targrade points to $0.105 as immediate resistance that must break with volume. A clean move above $0.11 would improve continuation odds significantly. Failure to see demand could drag the price back toward $0.088 or lower support near $0.085. Dogecoin Price Action Holds Key 0.236 Fibonacci Support at $0.093 Meanwhile, analyst Chad explains that Dogecoin closed the week above the 0.236 log Fibonacci level at $0.093, showing that buyers are attempting to defend this key support. Dogecoin price has tested this zone several times in recent sessions. This repeated interaction suggests it could form a base for a rebound if buying pressure strengthens. Holding this level is crucial to prevent further downside towards the $0.049 area, which represents the next major Fibonacci support. From a technical standpoint, DOGE’s weekly price action indicates cautious optimism. The trend has remained mostly bearish in recent sessions. However, holding the 0.236 Fibonacci level could attract short-term buyers and help limit further losses. Traders will closely watch how the price reacts around this zone. A break below may signal renewed selling, while a sustained hold could point to consolidation before a potential upward move.

DOGE's rally in 2024 fueled bullish expectations and long-term investor buying throughout 2025.

The token is consolidating around $0.0940–$0.0945 with higher lows, signaling constructive momentum after the breakout.

Like most meme coins in the market right now, Dogecoin (DOGE) has been in a major downtrend, with its price still testing the $0.1 level amid broader volatility and shifts in investor sentiment . As DOGE’s market value continues to decline, many investors and traders may see the correction as a possible buying opportunity. Amid this backdrop, a crypto analyst has identified the ideal point for investors to re-enter the market. He described this zone as the time when “real money is made.” Dogecoin Expert Reveals Real Money Zone Market analyst @AltCryptoGems has highlighted that Dogecoin’s largest profits are not made by accumulating during hype-driven breakouts , but during extended periods of low activity and sideways trading. In a recent analysis shared on X, the market expert stated that Dogecoin currently has one of the most challenging price charts to read for timing entry points. He explained that, historically, the Dogecoin price tends to remain inactive or compressed for months before delivering explosive gains that take the market by surprise. Because of this unpredictable and dramatic behavior, he argues that the best chance to make “real money” comes during long, boring market phases , when Dogecoin experiences the least activity and demand. Notably, historical price patterns on the analyst’s three-day Dogecoin chart reinforce this pattern. During the 2021 bull cycle , the DOGE price exploded by approximately 10,337%, shocking the market. The meme coin climbed from below $0.05 to a peak near $0.76. That explosive rally came after an extended period of sideways trading and low volatility. After reaching the top, Dogecoin entered a prolonged bear market . The chart marks this long stretch as the “last bear market accumulation,” where price declines and remained near cycle lows for months before staging yet another powerful breakout to the upside. From that accumulation base, which ended around 2024, Dogecoin rallied by 740.22%, reaching a new high of around $0.48. Just like in 2021, the price surge in 2024 was unexpected and short-lived, repeating the same pattern of subdued market activity before an unexpected uptrend. Based on @AltCryptoGems’ analysis, this consolidation period is what he describes as the “boring” phase. DOGE’s Next Possible Target According to @AltCryptoGems analysis, Dogecoin’s current chart structure is mirroring the same historical setup seen in 2021 and 2024. The analyst suggests that the meme coin is once again in a boring phase and could be preparing for another major upward rally . The analyst has labeled this consolidation area on the chart as a “potential accumulation zone,” corresponding to the price range between $0.1 and $0.3. The chart has also projected the meme coin’s next potential target near $0.25, representing a roughly 177% increase from current levels near $0.09.

Dogecoin price and open interest are down, hinting at extended bearish sentiment.

Crypto analyst Cryptollica has revealed that the Dogecoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crashed to its lowest level since its launch. The analyst also predicted that this might mark the bottom for the foremost meme coin, with a bullish reversal on the horizon. Dogecoin RSI Hits All-Time Low Since Launch In an X post, Cryptollica stated that the Dogecoin RSI has hit its lowest level in 12 years and is completely oversold. The analyst noted that, after removing all social sentiment and meme narratives, DOGE’s 2-week chart shows one of the most “severe structural anomalies currently visible in the market.” Related Reading: Ready For A 443% Dogecoin Move? The Meme Coin Just Touched A Historically Explosive Level Cryptollica’s chart also highlighted what marked the macro bottom for Dogecoin in previous cycles and how this may be the bottom for the meme coin in this cycle. The analyst noted that the DOGE price has now compressed to the exact structural baseline that precedes major macro expansions, suggesting a bullish reversal may be on the horizon. The analyst mentioned that this appears to be the “absolute oscillator floor” as the Dogecoin RSI is at an all-time low. Cryptollica alluded to the underlying momentum indicator, noting that the 2-week RSI has hit the 34 threshold. He added that the current downward momentum is mathematically weaker than it was during the 2015 bear market and the 2020 COVID crash. Meanwhile, selling pressure is completely exhausted. In another X post, Cryptollica highlighted a channel from 2021 up until now. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that Dogecoin could still rally to as high as $1.3, which is the top of the line. The midline target for the foremost meme coin is $0.3. The chart also suggested that DOGE could see a bullish reversal between now and July later this year. DOGE Bouncing From Oversold Level Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated in an X post that Dogecoin has just bounced from the RSI oversold zone and is heading back to the top. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could rebound to $0.12 as it bounces from this oversold zone. It is worth noting that the meme coin, however, continues to face selling pressure amid the crypto market sell-off due to the Trump tariffs. Related Reading: Dogecoin Divergence Formation At This Level Could Trigger Major Move In another X post, Trader Tardigrade noted that Dogecoin has formed a second base on the weekly chart. A pump followed base 1, and he again expects another pump to follow base 2. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could first rally to $0.4 between now and July, then see a corrective move before it rallies to $1 by next year. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.09116, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
