Dogecoin Surges 77% in July – Is This Just the Beginning?

Dogecoin's price rockets upward—77% gains in a single month. Meme magic or sustainable momentum?

Subheader: The DOGE rally defies 'serious' crypto skeptics

Traders who dismissed the Shiba Inu-themed coin as a joke are now scrambling to explain its performance. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts still can't decide whether to downgrade it or add it to their pension funds.

Subheader: What's fueling the pump?

Speculation runs wild as DOGE outperforms 'fundamentals-driven' assets yet again. The usual suspects: Elon Musk tweets, retail FOMO, and the eternal crypto cycle of absurdity.

Closing hook: Whether this is a dead cat bounce or the start of another parabolic run, one thing's certain—the market's irrationality remains the only reliable indicator.

Key Takeaways

The rectangle bottom, or consolidation, that Dogecoin saw after April has been resolved bullishly and could herald a near 20% rally for the leading memecoin. The on-chain metrics did not signal a frenzy of profit taking yet – A good sign for the bulls.

Dogecoin [DOGE] led the memecoin sector’s recovery in recent weeks. In fact, it is up by a whopping 77% in July – The largest rally among the top 3 memecoins by market capitalization. Additionally, on-chain metrics revealed that network activity has been rising over the past month.

The daily active addresses saw huge spikes in May and mid-June. These spikes marked the market’s local top and bottom. Over the past month, the daily active addresses metric was slowly rising, but did not rise to alarmingly high levels. The transaction count was the same – A rising trend in July, but no sign of capitulation, or a bursting bubble at local price tops.

The 365-day circulation has ticked higher since May. This may be a sign of rising adoption, with old holders taking profits but new market participants entering the market as well. Hence, the question – Does the price action agree with the metrics that Doge could rally further?

Dogecoin price prediction for July and August

The range formation (white) since March has extended from $0.142 to $0.25. The range highs were breached on Sunday, 20 July. The trading volume has been well above average over most of the past twelve days, helping DOGE break out past the key resistance at $0.25.

The breakout past the range high and the width of the range suggested that the current dogecoin rally should reach at least $0.33. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was testing the $0.285 resistance from February.

Overhead, the next key resistances were marked in yellow. The psychological resistance at $0.4 could pose a huge obstacle to Dogecoin. Especially since it was a significant horizontal level from November 2024 to January 2025.

In the next month or two, Dogecoin’s price prediction will be strongly bullish, with a $0.357 target based on the range breakout. In the short term, a pullback to $0.25 or the fair value gap at $0.26 WOULD offer a good buying opportunity to swing traders.
