Can Dogecoin reach 1 $ before 2023? Slim chances, BUT…

After reaching its bottom, the crypto market attempted to recover. This attempt failed in the past week as prices collapsed back towards their respective support areas. Dogecoin is currently the #10 biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. However, it risks being dethroned by Polkadot and Polygon, two well-known cryptos with important use cases. Is Dogecoin worth it still? Can Dogecoin reach 1 $? In this article, we analyze Dogecoin from a technical perspective and present fundamental challenges.

What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin is one of the best-known cryptocurrencies on the market, and Meme coin specifically. Not because of its technical peculiarities but the project was launched as a parody of cryptocurrency to counter the hype surrounding Bitcoin and various other new cryptocurrencies with something humorous. It is an open-source cryptocurrency that is utilized by internet users globally.

In figure 1 below, we can see how Dogecoin prices retraced lower as they could not breach the resistance price of $0.07. The current target still stands around $0.06.

Can Dogecoin reach 1 $ before 2023?

The cryptocurrency market is currently bearish. Since Doge is highly correlated with the crypto market, it is very unlikely for Doge prices to soar high in a matter of 3 months. To add to this equation, Doge prices always increased whenever Elon Musk used to tweet about it. It seems that Elon Musk moved on from Doge and is not hyping it anymore. In fact, his last tweet was in May 2022, saying that people can now purchase Tesla merchandise using DOGE. As expected, that was a purely hyped tweet that did not take effect yet, just as his promise of buying Teslas using Bitcoin which halted months after the announcement.
