DOGE price eyes 500% surge based on historical pattern – another cause for celebration after DogeDay

Dogecoin Celebrates DogeDay and Potential for Significant Growth

On April 20th, Dogecoin enthusiasts celebrated the annual DogeDay, an event that gained significant popularity in 2021. This year's celebration is amplified by a crypto analyst's prediction of a potential 500% surge in Dogecoin's price, based on a historical pattern observed before a previous major rally.

Currently trading at $0.16132, Dogecoin is consolidating around a key horizontal support level. Since late March, it has traded sideways between $0.14 and $0.16, suggesting a period of accumulation following a prolonged downtrend. The price is currently testing the 20-day Exponential Moving Average ($0.16067) and appears to be aiming for the $0.20 psychological resistance level (established and retested in early March).

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is rising and has crossed above its moving average. While still below the neutral 50 level, this upward momentum indicates growing bullish sentiment.

However, the overall market structure remains bearish. A decisive break above the 20-day EMA and a significant increase in trading volume are still needed to confirm a bullish reversal. Currently, market interest is stable but relatively subdued.

Crypto Analyst Predicts 500% Dogecoin Surge

Despite the largely bearish daily chart, crypto analyst @Steph_iscrypto anticipates a major Dogecoin breakout, citing a historical pattern from a previous market cycle. Steph notes that Dogecoin experienced a 129-day downtrend before a dramatic over 500% surge, rising from approximately $0.08 to over $0.40. He observes a similar 129-day downtrend (represented on the chart as “43 bars, 129d”) currently unfolding, suggesting a potential repeat of this pattern.

Steph believes the current consolidation phase could be the launchpad for the next significant rally, stating "Bottom signal flashing" in an April 19th X post.

Institutional interest in Dogecoin is also growing, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reviewing several exchange-traded fund (ETF) applications tracking Dogecoin's price. These include filings from Bitwise, Grayscale, 21Shares, and Rex Shares (in partnership with Osprey Funds). The approval of these ETFs could serve as a significant catalyst, potentially accelerating the 500% surge predicted by @Steph_iscrypto.
