Dogecoin Up 9% On The Week, Teases A 'Bullish Breakout:' Here's What The Numbers Say

Dogecoin's DOGE/USD 9.3% gains over the past week have renewed traders’ calls for an uptrend of the languishing meme coin.

What Happened: Crypto technical chart analyst Ali Martinez sees Dogecoin hovering around a bullish breakout but predicts a "potential short-term correction before the next move."

Crypto trader Kevin also sees a breakout attempt off the back of a perfect setup for a "pretty ferocious move out of this macro falling wedge."

Trader Master Kenobi cautions not to underestimate Dogecoin, stating that if DOGE were to perform as in the first cycle (2017-2018), it would reach $1.55 on Dec. 9 and $7.78 on July 14, 2025. If the meme coin were to perform as in the previous cycle (2021), it would reach $2.8 on Dec. 9 and $25.8 on March 10, 2025.
