DOGE Golden Cross
For the first time since November 2024, Dogecoin’s 50-day moving average has crossed above the 200-day moving average, a pattern known as a golden cross.
Historically, this indicator has preceded gains of over 130% in the following weeks, creating a bullish precedent that is now underpinning investor confidence.
Aiming for the High Ground
Dogecoin’s ongoing rally has reignited talk of revisiting previous peaks and perhaps repeating one of the short, intense bull runs that DOGE is known for.
In December 2024, the OG memecoin climbed to $0.47 after rising more than 32% in 21 days.
Prior to that, a similar rally propelled DOGE to its all-time high price of $0.57 in October 2021.
