Dogecoin gets political and celebrity backing
Elon Musk’s continued support for Dogecoin is driving the price.

The key price target for Doge has always been a dollar. Doge to $1 seems a certainty this crypto cycle.

The RSI is at 53.60 so buyers are in control and will use $0.40 as a stepping stone to higher prices. Historical precedent is on their side too. DOGE went up 30x and 80x after the US presidential inaugurations in 2017 and 2021. If DOGE does even 1/10th of that it will go to $20.
Fibonacci retracement tools give us more clues. Popular analyst Surf on X thinks DOGE will go to $10 long term which is 2300% from current price.
That fits with Fibonacci trading, where support and resistance levels are based on mathematical sequences. If DOGE goes to $9 the market cap will be over $1.3 trillion and it will be the top dog in the meme coin space. Even machine predictions agree that doge can go to $1 and beyond.
