Silver has staged a historic, late-December breakout, surging from roughly $50 
an ounce in mid-November to an intraday all-time high above $83, before easing 
slightly as traders took profits. Will Dogecoin follow its lead? At press 
time, spot silver was holding near $76 after pulling back from the earlier 
record high of $83.62, with the metal up roughly 181% year-to-date in 2025, an 
outsized move for the precious-metal. The rally is attributed to a mix of 
macro and market-structure drivers including expectations for easier US 
monetary policy in 2026, strong industrial and investment demand, persistent 
supply shortfalls, and silver’s recent designation as a US “critical mineral,” 
which added a policy-sensitive supply narrative to an already tight market. 
The ‘Silver Fractal’ Pitch For Dogecoin That silver move is now being used as 
a visual analog in crypto. X analyst Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) posted a 
side-by-side TradingView comparison suggesting Dogecoin’s 6-month chart 
resembles silver’s 3-day structure from three weeks ago, implying DOGE could 
be positioned for a similarly persistent advance if the fractal holds. In the 
shared DOGE 6-month panel, Cantonese Cat shows a large selloff candle and 
frames it as a potential cyclical low. Based on the silver comparison, the 
interpretation is not “DOGE pumps next week,” but “DOGE trends for years.”

Move Nears – Time To Be Cautious? In the proposed fractal path, the current 
6-month candle would mark the bottom, followed by eight additional 6-month 
candles spanning roughly four years where seven are green and only one is red. 
The lone red candle is mapped as the third in the sequence, implying the first 
half of 2027 could be a down half-year even within an overarching uptrend. If 
the pattern were to track silver “exactly,” the projected cycle peak would 
land in the second half of 2029, with a peak price “above $11” in that window.

Says How It Fits His Earlier Wave Framework The comparison follows Cantonese 
Cat’s earlier Dec. 20 post outlining a longer-horizon DOGE roadmap on the 
weekly chart. “We’ve already had a 13 month bear market for DOGE, with my 
working hypothesis of this being likely a wave 2 correction prior to wave 3 
explosion,” the analyst wrote. The accompanying weekly DOGE chart labels the 
prior advance as “Wave 1” and the subsequent decline as “Wave 2,” with a 
descending trendline drawn across the multi-year structure. The Dec. 20 weekly 
snapshot shows DOGE around $0.13160 with retracement levels including 0.382 at 
about $0.11771, and 0.236 at about $0.08427, with the base (“0”) around 
$0.04909. Above the current price, the analysis maps 0.5 at about $0.15422 as 
the next resistance, followed by 0.618 at about $0.20205, 0.707 at about 
$0.24770, 0.786 at about $0.29681, and 0.886 at about $0.37315, before the 1.0 
level near $0.48442. Above the prior high, the same map plots extension 
targets often used in Elliott Wave projection frameworks, labeled near 1.272 
($0.90288), 1.414 ($1.24968), 1.618 ($1.99344), 2 ($4.77927), and 2.272 
($8.90771). The implication is conditional: the extensions matter only if DOGE 
completes the corrective phase and reclaims the prior impulse high. At press 
time, DOGE traded at $ Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from

The Zcash (ZEC) price has rallied above the psychological $500 level, 
providing a bullish outlook for the privacy-focused token. This comes amid a 
notable surge in whale accumulation and derivatives activity among crypto 
traders. Why Zcash (ZEC) Price Rallied Above $500 Despite Crypto Market 
Decline CoinMarketCap data show that the Zcash (ZEC) price has rallied above 
$500 again, up over 20% in the last week. This comes despite the crypto market 
downtrend, with Bitcoin trading in a tight range just below the psychological 
$90,000 level. The ZEC surge above $500 comes amid a significant increase in 
whale accumulation, which has contributed to this price surge. Related

The Bear Market? Nansen data show a 47% increase in ZEC whale holdings, with 
the top 100 addresses now holding 66% of the token’s total supply. This has 
likely created a supply shock, sparking a rise in the Zcash (ZEC) price. 
Notably, there has been a 55.36% drop in the supply held by exchanges, further 
highlighting the accumulation trend, with investors likely moving their coins 
off-exchanges for long-term holding. On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain 
also highlighted the accumulation trend among these whales. In an X post, 
Lookchain revealed two newly created wallets that withdrew 26,241 ZEC ($13.5 
million) from Binance. In another post, the on-chain analytics platform 
revealed that another whale withdrew 7,714 ZEC ($4.12 million) from Kraken. 
Lookonchain had also drawn attention to a whale that withdrew 30,000 ZEC 
($13.25 million) from Binance last week. Activity in the derivatives market 
has also contributed to the Zcash (ZEC) price rally above $500. CoinGlass data 
show an increase in the altcoin’s open interest, indicating that traders are 
increasing their positions. Most of these traders are currently long with the 
long/short ratio above 1. This recovery marks a positive for the privacy 
token, which had dropped to as low as $310 earlier this month. ZEC is notably 
the best-performing crypto among the top tokens with a year-to-date (YTD) gain 
of around 800%. ‘Next Stop Is $1,000’ BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes declared 
in an X post that the next stop for the Zcash (ZEC) price is $1,000 following 
its recovery above $500. This represents a potential 100% gain from its 
current price level. The BitMEX co-founder has been bullish on the privacy 
token for some time now, predicting it could eventually reach $10,000. Related

Meanwhile, Zcash’s co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson suggested that the Zcash (ZEC) 
price will continue to rally because of its good product, scarcity, and 
regulatory atmosphere. He noted that privacy is now widely recognized as 
necessary in crypto. As such, the privacy narrative is expected to keep 
fueling this price surge. At the time of writing, the Zcash (ZEC) price is 
trading at around $536, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data 
from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com
