Key Takeaways

  • Dogecoin was one of many memecoins to surge in early March 2024.
  • Despite being founded as a parody of crypto, DOGE is in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap. 
  • Can DOGE hit new heights?
  • One Dogecoin price prediction suggests that DOGE could become a deadcoin by 2030. 

Dogecoin, the joke crypto that became serious business, looks like it is cashing in on an upturn in memecoins.

Earlier in the 2024, DOGE made something of an upturn following the news that X – better known as Twitter – was setting up a payment platform. With the social media platform’s owner, Elon Musk, being an ostensible fan of the coin, speculation was rife that Xpayments would accept not just crypto, but Dogecoin in particular.   

While nothing has come of the idea so far, it is worth noting  that the Dogecoin Foundation has suggested using a form of PoS before. 

In September, the coin suffered a setback when it was removed from New York State’s list of approved cryptos.

On March 5, 2024, Dogecoin was worth about $0.18.

Dogecoin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

But what is Dogecoin (DOGE)? How does Dogecoin work? Let’s see what we can find out, and also take a look at some of the Dogecoin Price Predictions that were being made as of March 5, 2024.

Dogecoin Price Prediction

Let’s examine some of the Dogecoin price predictions being made on March 5 2024. It is crucial to bear in mind that price forecasts, particularly for a potentially volatile asset like cryptocurrency, often turn out to be inaccurate. Additionally, please remember that many long-term crypto price predictions are generated using algorithms, which means they can change at any time.

2024 2025 2030
Prediction #1 $0.1871 $0.1194 $0
Prediction #2 $0.36 $0.41 $1.33
Prediction #3 $0.2078 $0.2529 $1.79

First, CoinCodex  had a mixed short-term Dogecoin price prediction. The site said DOGE would rise to $0.1952 by March 10 before falling to $0.1704 by April 4. The site’s technical analysis was bullish, with 28 indicators sending positive signals and just six making bearish ones. 

Dogecoin Price Prediction for 2024

CaptainAltCoin  said that DOGE could climb to $0.1871 by December. DigitalCoinPrice  thought it would get to $0.16, while PricePrediction.net  said it would trade at $0.1141 this year. 

Dogecoin Price Prediction for 2025

Moving on, DigitalCoinPrice said that Dogecoin would trade at $0.41 next year. PricePrediction.net said that it would reach $0.302 then. CaptainAltCoin said it would be worth $0.2529 in 2025.

Dogecoin Price Prediction for 2030

Looking at a more long-term Dogecoin price prediction, PricePrediction.net said it would trade at $1.79 in 2030. DigitalCoinPrice said it would get to $0.57 that year. CaptainAltCoin, on the other hand, had a DOGE price prediction that would not have gone down well with the coin’s fanbase. It said it would become a worthless de facto deadcoin by the start of the next decade. 

Google Gemini Price Prediction for Dogecoin (as of March 5)

Google’s Gemini platform gave the following price prediction for Dogecoin on March 5. Please remember that the exact price prediction of an asset or cryptocurrency in the future is nearly impossible to achieve. Additionally, artificial intelligent price predictions are predicated on past performances and are in no way entirely accurate.

Short-term (Next 30 days):

  • Prediction: Mixed. Some analysts predict a slight increase of up to 5%, reaching around $0.185, while others forecast a decrease of up to 7%.
  • Reasons: The market sentiment is currently “extreme greed” which can lead to price corrections. However, positive updates from the Dogecoin development team or a broader crypto market rally could push the price upwards.

Medium-term (Next 6 months):

  • Prediction: Potential for moderate growth, reaching around $0.25 – $0.32.
  • Reasons: Continued development efforts like the planned improvements to Dogecoin’s payment infrastructure could attract more users and increase adoption. Additionally, if the overall cryptocurrency market experiences a positive trend, Dogecoin could benefit alongside other coins.

Long-term (Next 5 years):

  • Prediction: Wide range of possibilities, with estimates varying from $0.70 to over $1.
  • Reasons: Long-term predictions are highly uncertain and depend on various unpredictable factors like future regulations, technological advancements, and broader market acceptance of Dogecoin.

It added: “It’s important to remember that these are just predictions, and the actual price of DOGE can fluctuate significantly. It’s crucial to conduct your own research and consider your risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.”

Recent updates from Dogecoin

Dogecoin rallied in early March 2024, as the memecoin sector benefited from a bullish market, spurred by Bitcoin coming close to its all-time high.

Meanwhile, in January, a version of the classic 1990s video game DOOM was released on the Dogecoin  blockchain. The reworking was a “Doginal”, an inscription on a Dogecoin, similar to Bitcoin ordinals.

Dogecoin was removed from New York State’s “greenlist” of approved cryptocurrencies in September. Although no official reason was given, it can be implied that the state’s Department of Financial Services did not consider it to have a “historic record consistent with safety and soundness and the protection of customers, including broad marketplace adoption”.

DOGE Price History

Now, let’s examine some of the highlights and lowlights of the Dogecoin price history . While we should never take past performance as an indicator of future results, knowing what the coin has achieved can provide us with some very useful context if we want to make or interpret a Dogecoin price prediction.

When Dogecoin first came out in late 2013, it was worth about $0.0001 and it remained well under the cent – albeit with a brief foray above $0.01 around the time of the crypto bubble of late 2017 and early 2018 – for most of its first seven years or so. 

This all changed during the crypto bull run of early 2021, when its price skyrocketed and what had been one of crypto’s many also-rans turned into one of the biggest coins going, reaching an all-time high of $0.7376 on May 8 that year. 

Things then fell apart when Tesla boss and alleged Dogecoin enthusiast Elon Musk called the crypto a “hustle” on top American TV show the exact same day. His comments were exacerbated by an overall market downturn and DOGE closed the year at $0.1673.

2022 was a poor year for crypto and DOGE was unable to enjoy the same sort of success it had in 2021. Following the collapse of the LUNA cryptocurrency in May 2022, it has, with the exception of a brief period in late October and early November last year, remained under the $0.10 mark. On December 31, it was worth $0.06816. This meant it had lost nearly 60% of its value over the course of 2022. However, it had performed slightly better than the overall crypto market, which dropped nearly 65% over the same period. 

Dogecoin in 2023 and 2024

DOGE started 2023 well. It broke past $0.10 for the first time since December 2022 in April, but things soon went downward. The news that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was suing the Binance and Coinbase exchanges hit DOGE, which fell to $0.05854 on June 10. This coincided with Crypto.com suspending its American institutional operations.

There was a recovery over the following weeks. On July 25, it hit $0.08334, only for it to collapse. By October 12, it was worth $0.05747. It was able to mount a fightback over the following months, breaking past $0.10 for the first time in more than a year and reaching a high of $0.1058 on December 11. After that, it closed the year at $0.08947, representing an annual increase of more than 30%. 

The token’s slump continued in the new year and, on January 29, 2024, it was worth about $0.08055.

In March, however, it recovered and, on March 5, 2024, it was worth about $0.18.

At that time, there were about 143.3 billion DOGE in circulation, representing the total supply. This gave the coin a market cap of around $26 billion, making it the ninth-largest crypto by that metric. 

Dogecoin Price Analysis

Dogecoin Price Analysis
DOGE could get past $0.35.

After stabilizing above a support level of $0.06, DOGE’s price began rising in mid-October last year. It climbed 82% to hit resistance at $0.10, falling down in December.

A slight increase from a January low suggested a starting uptrend but a break above $0.10 confirmed a bullish phase.

DOGE is now at its highest level since April 2022, having risen more than 150% since its January low and around 250% from its previous support. 

The daily chart shows resistance at above $0.16, and the current high is starting to flash a red candle. This is a sign of weakness, confirmed by the overbought conditions seen on the daily Relative Strength Index, which is going to 95%. 

A reversal is now more likely to occur as we’ve most likely seen wave three out of a larger five-wave pattern. Its fourth wave is expected to return the price to retest some of the broken resistance levels for support before another advance to the upside. 

Our next target is at $0.13, but it could stop before then. After this retracement ends, DOGE could be ready for another jump to reach above $0.35.. 

Is Dogecoin a Good Investment?

It is hard to say. The coin that was the poster child of the 2021 boom struggled as the market has sunk. Whether a change to a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism will help things remains to be seen. Remember that when Ethereum (ETH) moved to PoS, overall economic conditions meant the change barely had an impact. One would hope that, if DOGE undergoes its own Merge, things will be better for it. 

On the other hand, DOGE does have a rather enthusiastic fan base. Whether the foundation behind the coin can really capitalize on that and deliver more uses for Dogecoin is another matter. If it does, things might look good. Indeed, its recent performance could well have got people interested in Dogecoin again. 

Something that DOGE does need to work out is whether or not Elon Musk’s association with the coin is a good thing or not. Keep in mind that the self-proclaimed Dogefather damaged the coin’s reputation when he appeared on American TV and called it a “hustle”. 

As ever with crypto, you will need to make sure you do your own research before deciding whether or not to invest in DOGE.

Will Dogecoin go up or down?

No one can really tell right now. Most of the DOGE price predictions are positive, even if CaptainAltCoin thinks it will cease to be worth anything by 2030. On the other hand, price forecasts are very often wrong. Keep in mind, too, that prices can, and do, go down as well as up. 

Should I invest in Dogecoin?

Before you decide whether or not to invest in Dogecoin, you will have to do your own research, not only on DOGE, but on other, similar, coins and tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Litecoin (LTC). Either way, you will also need to make sure that you never invest more money than you can afford to lose.

Who are the Founders of Dogecoin?

Australian software engineers Billy Markus  and Jackson Palmer founded Dogecoin in 2013. Markus left the project in 2014 while Palmer, who had previously worked for Adobe, quit  in 2015.

From the Whitepaper

In its technical documentation, or whitepaper , Dogecoin explains what it is.

It says: “Dogecoin is a community-driven cryptocurrency that was inspired by a Shiba Inu meme. The Dogecoin Core software allows anyone to operate a node in the Dogecoin blockchain networks and uses the Scrypt hashing method for Proof of Work. It is adapted from Bitcoin Core and other cryptocurrencies.”

Dogecoin (DOGE) Explained

Initially created as a parody of crypto, Dogecoin uses similar software to Bitcoin (BTC). It really started to gain traction in late 2020 when a series of popular TikTok videos helped promote it. 

It was around this time that Musk, who had previously seemed comparatively ambivalent about crypto, started calling himself the Dogefather. In turn, this got the billionaire a, perhaps unearned, reputation as a kind of crypto prophet. 

How Dogecoin Works

At present, Dogecoin uses a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism. This means that people verify transactions and add blocks to the blockchain by solving a series of increasingly complex mathematical equations. 

DOGE rewards the Dogecoin blockchain’s miners. It can also pay for some things in the real world. People can buy, sell, and trade it on exchanges.
