Dogecoin has certainly dipped quite far from its highest point so far this year. While this sideways movement and a recent correction have lingered on for quite some time, the price action is a reflection of the wider crypto market movement. However, DOGE continues to attract bullish opinions among traders. Its popularity and status as the largest meme coin continue to generate optimistic sentiment within the trading community.
Crypto analyst Astronomer believes DOGE is still prime for a strong bull run on the technical side of things. According to Astronomer, the current price structure of DOGE demonstrates a relative strength that sets it apart from other cryptocurrencies price action since Q4 2023, suggesting that the coin has the potential to recover and even thrive in the near future.Â
DOGE On Track To Rally Above $0.2
Astronomer’s DOGE technical analysis, which he shared on social media platform X, is based on the cryptocurrency’s price action since the fourth quarter of 2023. The crypto market kickstarted its recent market cycle in Q4 2023 after the applications of Spot Bitcoin ETFs by BlackRock and others.

This event marked the end of a multi-year bearish cycle, leading to bullish sentiment across the entire crypto market. As a result, many cryptocurrencies experienced substantial price increases, which pushed them to reach new multi-year highs.
Although many market participants might argue the market is still largely in a bullish cycle, many cryptocurrencies have corrected even below Q4 2023 prices. However, Astronomer notes that DOGE stands out in this regard, as it has managed to maintain a price level above its Q3 2024 value.
At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1057. Although the meme coin is still up by 29% from its price in the beginning of the year, it has corrected 52% from its yearly high of $0.22. Additionally, DOGE has corrected by 12% from its Q3 2024 opening price of $0.121; a pivotal price point. According to crypto analyst Astronomer, all the cryptocurrency needs now is to break above a new local high to solidify the return of a bullish price run.
Price Targets For Dogecoin
In terms of a price target, the Dogecoin/Tether US price chart shared by the analyst predicts DOGE will double its current value and climb back above the $0.22 price point later this year. The analyst’s projections are even more bullish, suggesting that DOGE could surpass $0.26, which would represent a remarkable 145% increase from its current trading price.

However, the recent DOGE price action suggests various resistances before $0.22. Nonetheless, the analyst remains confident that once DOGE successfully breaks through this local high, it could trigger a renewed and sustained upward movement, further fueling the bullish sentiment surrounding the coin.
