Dogecoin Surges 16%: Is $0.40 Next After Rate Cut?

Meme coin defies gravity with massive rally—just as the Fed opens the liquidity taps.

The Pattern Everyone Missed

Dogecoin's 16% pump isn't random. It's pricing in the rate cut before your savings account even gets the memo. Retail's piling in, whales are accumulating, and suddenly everyone's a macro strategist.

When Memes Meet Monetary Policy

Cheap money chases risk—and nothing says risk like an asset born from an internet joke. The 16% surge signals one thing: crypto markets front-run traditional finance yet again. Because why wait for the economy to recover when you can just buy Doge?

Here’s the cynical take: Wall Street still can’t decide if crypto is an asset class or a casino, but they’ll sure collect fees while you figure it out.

Will Dogecoin Rally to $0.40 After an Interest Rate Cut?

Dogecoin’s (DOGE) latest upswing comes after the US reported cooling inflation numbers for August 2025. The dip in inflation figures has further increased the chances of an interest rate cut after the Federal Reserve’s next meeting. CME FedWatch notes that there is a 92% chance of a 25 basis point interest rate cut this month. An interest rate cut will likely lead to a continued rally for the crypto market as investors may increase their risky investments.

According to CoinCodex’s analysis, Dogecoin (DOGE) will continue its rally over the coming weeks. The platform anticipates the memecoin to hit $0.321 on Oct. 6, 2025. DOGE’s price will rally by 27.89% if it hits the $0.321 target. CoinCodex does not anticipate DOGE’s price to hold at the $0.32 level, predicting a correction after hitting the target.

While CoinCodex does not expect dogecoin (DOGE) to hit $0.40 just yet, there is a possibility that the memecoin will pick up more steam than the platform anticipates. There is a DOGE ETF set to debut soon, which could lead to a surge in institutional interest. Such a development could lead to DOGE’s price going beyond the $0.40 mark.
