Analyst Predicts 500% Surge For The Dogecoin Price

In an X post, crypto analyst Javon Marks predicted a 500% surge for the Dogecoin price, representing a 5x increase from its current level. The analyst explained that Dogecoin is back showing strength, and by its historical performance, DOGE can be set for an over 432% gain at the least from its current level.

Javon Marks further remarked that the Dogecoin price could rally above the 1.618 Fib extension, which is currently at $2.2. In line with this, the analyst added that market participants could still be early, considering that DOGE could witness a 5x price increase from its current level.

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade also recently predicted that the Dogecoin price could rally above $2. In an X post, the analyst stated that the meme coin had formed a bull flag on the 2-day chart. According to the analyst, this DOGE bull flag pattern puts a target of over $2 for the foremost meme coin. 

The crypto analyst had previously predicted that the DOGE price could even rally as high as $8 if it mirrors the 2017 bull run. He added that DOGE could also reach $30 if it mirrors the 2021 bull run. These projections further prove that the foremost meme coin could at least record a 500% price surge from its current level. Crypto analyst Master Kenobi has also previously predicted that Dogecoin could rally to $2 in this cycle and top around $3. 

Bullish Fundamentals Also Support A 5x Increase For DOGE

The Dogecoin price also boasts bullish fundamentals, which support a 5x increase from its current level. One of the fundamentals includes the potential launch of a Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the US. Asset manager Bitwise recently filed for a Dogecoin ETF in Delaware, indicating that an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be next.

Asset manager REX Shares, in collaboration with Osprey, already filed with the SEC to offer a Dogecoin ETF. This is bullish for the Dogecoin price, considering the amount of institutional funds that could flow into the DOGE ecosystem if the SEC approves these funds. There is also a huge likelihood that the SEC will approve these funds, considering the pro-crypto climate under Donald Trump’s administration. 

It is also worth mentioning that there has been a huge accumulation trend among DOGE whales, which is also bullish for the Dogecoin price. IntoTheBlock data shows there has been a 41% spike in the meme coin’s large transactions, with $23.35 billion traded in the last 24 hours. Another bullish fundamental is Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which puts the foremost meme coin in the limelight. 

At the time of writing, the DOGE price is trading at around $0.35, down almost 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

New ETF Filings Take The Market By Storm

The crypto industry has been filled with excitement in the past few days leading to and after the inauguration of new US president Donald Trump. This excitement has brought alongside it an intense volatility to the price action of many cryptocurrencies.

Amidst this intense volatility, asset management firms REX Advisers and Osprey Funds have jointly submitted filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking approval to launch seven new cryptocurrency ETFs. These ETFs are designed to provide exposure to a range of digital assets, including established tokens like Solana and Ripple’s XRP, as well as meme coins such as Dogecoin and even the recently launched TRUMP coin. 

ETFs are currently the rave in the crypto industry due to the success of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs that were launched in the US early last year. Their widespread success marked a turning point for institutional investment in crypto. Following their success, Spot Ethereum ETFs also entered the market, paving the way for discussions about spot ETFs for other digital assets, mostly XRP and Solana. 

Interestingly, the new ETF filings by REX could be seen as an effort to capitalize on the growing interest in diverse crypto assets and to test the SEC’s evolving stance under its new crypto-friendly leadership. Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the growing interest in this space, noting that the number of crypto ETF filings with the US SEC has now reached 33, essentially doubling since Gary Gensler stepped down as the regulator’s chairman last Friday. 

What Does A Dogecoin ETF Mean For Dogecoin?

Specifically, the nature of the filings means that these proposed could hit the market very quickly in the next 75 days. Dogecoin, for one, is projected to benefit the most from an ETF hitting the market. This is because recent crypto market dynamics have caused Dogecoin to become the go-to cryptocurrency for retail investors since Bitcoin is increasingly becoming the choice for institutional investors.

Historically, Dogecoin has shown its ability to rally sharply on the back of positive trends, such as Elon Musk’s tweets and listings on major exchanges. If the Dogecoin ETF gains approval, it could attract substantial inflows from new investors. This, along with the community support for Dogecoin, could pave the way for a significant price surge above $1. Crypto analysts are already predicting that Dogecoin will break the $1 mark this cycle, noting various technical indicators and patterns to back this prediction. 

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.364, up by 5.1% in the past 24 hours. Reaching $1 from the current level would represent a 175% price increase.
