A closely followed crypto strategist believes that top memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE) is poised to spark massive rallies, en route to astronomical fresh all-time high levels.

Analyst Ali Martinez tells his 80,000 followers on the social media platform X that DOGE appears to be trading in a large ascending channel on the weekly chart.

An ascending channel is typically seen as a bullish structure as it suggests that an asset is printing higher highs and higher lows.

According to Martinez, Dogecoin looks to be gearing up for fireworks after respecting the diagonal support of the channel.

“A test of the middle or upper boundary of the channel puts Dogecoin DOGE at $2.40 or $18!” 

At time of writing, DOGE is trading for $0.383, suggesting a potential rise of 526% if the coin hits the trader’s first target and about 6,000% if it reaches Martinez’s second target.

Next up, the trader has his radar locked on the native asset of the Ethereum (ETH) scaling solution Optimism (OP). According to Martinez, OP appears to be mirroring a pattern that led to parabolic rallies last year.

“Optimism OP has a history of forming market bottoms with ascending triangles, often followed by rallies to the 1.618 Fibonacci retracement level. Today, we’re seeing a similar setup, pointing to a bullish target of $7.20 for OP – a potential 340% gain.”

At time of writing, OP is worth $1.68.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is in the middle of an explosive move, running more than 160% in less than a week as one of the main beneficiaries of the bounce in crypto markets.

DOGE is up 107% in the last week after adding $30 billion to its market cap in one day.

With DOGE gaining momentum, traders and analysts in the space are eyeing the top memecoin’s next move, focusing on the psychological $1 level.

Pseudonymous crypto trader Kaleo tells his 656,000 followers on the social media platform X that DOGE is now due for some chop and then a “flush” down, potentially below the $0.30 level before continuing higher.

“General PA (price action) here makes sense to me.

Chop under meme resistance (0.42069) for a minute, have one flush back down to high 20s / low 30s to shake out late longs and fomo (fear of missing out) top buyers, then continue to rip.”

Ultimately, Kaleo sees DOGE reaching the $1 mark, currently about a 170% rally.

“Roadmap to $1.00.”

Legendary commodities trader Peter Brandt recently accurately called DOGE’s breakout from an inverse head and shoulders (H&S) after breaking out of a channel. Brandt says a break of all-time highs – above $0.73 – is imminent.

“In Musk we Trust

DOGE confirms channel breakout with massive underlying price accumulation and new ATHs around the corner.”

Other veteran traders like the widely followed Bluntz have also called for $1 DOGE, saying that the crucial dollar level is “not the meme you think it is.”

Some analysts aren’t as confident in DOGE. Pseudonymous trader Donalt recently addressed his 595,000 followers on X warning that Dogecoin was a “coin of old” not likely to gain the attention of new retail market participants.

At time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.37.

Bitcoin is officially back in a bull market and could potentially hit $1 million per coin in the next few years, according to trader and investor Michaël van de Poppe.

However, the founder of MN Consultancy, MN Capital and MN Academy warned that a $1 million Bitcoin (BTC) price might come alongside a much broader debt crisis that could wreck the price of all assets in the short term.

Van de Poppe sat down with Decentralize with Cointelegraph host Jonathan DeYoung at DKGcon 2024 in Amsterdam for an exclusive interview to discuss the state of the Bitcoin bull market, whether an altseason is on the horizon, the impact of a Donald Trump presidency, and more.

Bitcoin price to $1 million?

Van de Poppe, who spoke with DeYoung on Oct. 24 — prior to Bitcoin’s recent return to new all-time highs — said that Bitcoin was back in a bull market but that it had been stuck in the “boring zone” while waiting for a return to the “banana zone.” 

“I still believe that, currently, we are on the verge of the perfect storm, or we are actually building it already, which means that next year is going to be big,” he said. “But maybe that’s the difference: I think that the next part of the cycle is going to be longer than the previous cycle, so we’re going to end up in somewhere 2026.”

As to whether Bitcoin will ever reach the oft-discussed $1,000,000 price point, van de Poppe said it will likely happen as long as the de facto policy from central banks continues to be money-printing.

However, he cautioned that many investors don’t pay close enough attention to “the amount of debt that we create, and that’s going through the roof. […] It’s going to be recalled at some point, so we’re going to have a debt crisis like we’ve seen in 2008.”

“When and if that happens, the amount of dollars that we have in circulation is going to drop. And if that happens, the purchasing power is going to drop as well, and the price of Bitcoin will also change. So yes, at some point in time I expect it to happen. But if we have the crisis in between, yes, of course, it’s going to be disastrous for the valuation of all assets in the US dollar.”

Bitcoin’s future under Trump

Van de Poppe also weighed in on the impact that United States President-elect Trump and his administration might have on Bitcoin. “I think people overrate the current elections, he told DeYoung. “In the long term, it doesn’t matter.”

“Bitcoin doesn’t care about governments, and it doesn’t care about policies.”
