DOGE Price Update: Can It Break Through the $1 Milestone in the Future?

2025-06-16, 07:08

As of June 16, 2025, the global latest price of Dogecoin (DOGE) hovers around $0.1756, having fluctuated fiercely between $0.17 and $0.185 over the past week. A political storm at the beginning of June worsened the already sensitive DOGE market—Elon Musk announced his resignation as the chief advisor of the “Efficiency Department” (DOGE) in the Trump administration, which directly caused a single-day price drop of 10% and a total weekly decline of 22%. This sharp decline highlights DOGE’s deep reliance on Musk’s personal influence; historical data shows that a single tweet from him once caused DOGE to surge by 30% in one day, while now, the retreat of his statements has led to a 70% drop in community engagement and search volume.

Technical Analysis: Bull vs Bear

Dogecoin currently stands at a critical crossroads, with intense battles between bullish and bearish signals on the technical chart:

Bearish Alert: The daily chart has broken below the 20-day (0.22253 USD) and 50-day (0.19578 USD) moving averages, with key support shifting down to 0.188 USD. If this level is lost, it may quickly slide to 0.15 USD (a decline of 21%), and in extreme cases, even test 0.05 USD (a decline of 74%).
Bullish Dawn: The 2-hour chart shows RSI rebounding to 44.07, indicating a slight bullish divergence. Some analysts have noted that the stochastic indicator has pulled back to the midline, suggesting that if the resistance at 0.21 USD is broken, it could trigger a 50% surge. More notably, DOGE broke through the 0.194 USD resistance level in early June, forming a prototype of an “inverse head and shoulders” pattern, with the neckline at 0.25 USD. If this pattern is confirmed, it will open up significant upward potential.

Institutional Movements and On-Chain Signals

Despite cautious retail sentiment, on-chain data reveals a surge of institutional activity:

Whales Entering: On June 10, a transfer of 20 million USD in DOGE to Coinbase was interpreted as a signal for institutional positioning. Over the past month, large holders have accumulated over 1 billion DOGE, bringing the total whale holdings to 26 billion.
Network Activity Soars: The number of daily active Dogecoin addresses surged by 528%, skyrocketing from 75,000 to 400,000, with daily trading volume nearing a six-month high. History shows that such surges in on-chain activity often precede price breakthroughs.

Price Prediction: Opportunities in Disagreement

Analysts show significant divergence in the medium-term outlook for DOGE:

Conservative Range: CoinCodex predicts that DOGE will fluctuate between $0.181 and $0.273 in 2025, with an average of $0.215. The previously anticipated target of 150 rupees (approximately $1.8) in the Indian market is facing challenges due to the current weak trend.
Optimistic Scenario: If it breaks above $0.25 and holds, it may test $0.35–$0.40 by the end of the year; if the bull market continues, it could eye $0.50 in 2026. The $1 target requires the resonance of three major conditions: ETF approval, Musk restarting his promotion, and a full-blown meme coin season.
Long-term Inflation Constraints: DOGE has an annual issuance of 5 billion coins; if demand cannot match supply, it will significantly suppress the price increase.

Policy and Narrative Variables

Two potential catalysts may rewrite the trajectory of DOGE:

ETF Process: The 21Shares spot DOGE ETF application has been accepted by the SEC, with the final approval deadline set for January 9, 2026. If approved, it will attract billions of dollars in institutional funds.
Payment Scenario Implementation: Over 2000 merchants worldwide have supported DOGE payments, and acceptance in India is also on the rise. If Musk integrates DOGE into the X (formerly Twitter) payment system, its “joke currency” identity may undergo a complete transformation.

The next step for DOGE is dependent on the defense of the support level at $0.188. If it holds strong and breaks through the resistance at $0.25 with volume, the technical pattern will open an upward channel to $0.40; conversely, if it fails to hold, it may slide into the abyss at $0.15. In this long and short game woven by whale accumulation, ETF expectations, and meme frenzy, DOGE proves once again: in the world of cryptocurrency, no “joke” will be easily forgotten.
