Dogecoin is hovering near $0.15, but a cluster of technical and on-chain 
indicators shared on X suggests the market structure is far healthier than 
during the last bear phase, prompting fresh upside calls from analysts. 
Dogecoin Could Target $1.30 Trader Cryptollica posted a long-term monthly DOGE 
chart with the Mayer Multiple and a clear message: “DOGE Target &gt; $1.30.” The 
Mayer Multiple, using 200- and 50-period moving averages with a 2.4 threshold, 
sits at 0.66005. Visually, that is far below the spikes above 5 that 
accompanied the 2017 and 2021 blow-off tops, indicating that Dogecoin is not 
yet in the overheated conditions historically associated with major market 
peaks. Cryptollica also highlighted an Alphractal chart titled “Dogecoin: 
Number of Days Spent at a Loss.” The series overlays DOGE’s price with a 
multicolour histogram of how long coins have been held in unrealised loss.

Falling Wedge Pattern Earlier cycle lows around 2014–2015 and the post-2021 
unwind show extended peaks above roughly 1,200–1,500 days at a loss. In the 
latest segment, that metric has compressed back toward the lower end of the 
scale, resembling the early reset phases that preceded previous advances, and 
signalling that the proportion of long-suffering holders has markedly 
declined. DOGE On-Chain Data Looks Strong On the shorter-term on-chain side, 
Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) pointed to a sharp rebound in network activity. 
“Dogecoin just saw 71,589 active addresses. The biggest spike since 
September,” he wrote, sharing Glassnode data. The chart “DOGE: Number of 
Active Addresses” plots daily active addresses as yellow bars against the DOGE 
price in black. From early November, activity ranged around 45,000–47,500 
addresses while price drifted lower from about $0.17 to $0.14. On December 3, 
active addresses jumped to 71,589 as price recovered to $0.15181709, 
signalling a broadening of participation rather than a purely price-driven 
move. Ali also drew attention to whale behaviour. Posting a Santiment chart of 
balances held by addresses with between 1,000,000 and 100,000,000 DOGE, he 
noted: “480 million Dogecoin bought by whales in 48 hours!” Related Reading: 
Is The Dogecoin Bottom In? This Price Level Could Be The Tell The grey area 
representing holdings in this band trends down from around 35.6 billion DOGE 
in mid-October to below 28 billion by late November while price falls from 
above $0.18 to about $0.135, indicating sustained distribution. In the final 
days of the chart, holdings rose again to roughly 28.45 billion as price 
rebounded from $0.14 to $0.15, confirming a renewed net accumulation phase 
among large holders. A third chart from Ali, “DOGE: Cost Basis Distribution 
Heatmap,” defines the next major technical hurdle. “$0.20 is the key 
resistance for Dogecoin. That’s where 11.72 billion $DOGE were accumulated,” 
he wrote. The Glassnode heatmap highlights a dense band between $0.20284609 
and $0.20442947, with an annotated supply of 11,723,527,138.97 DOGE whose on- 
chain cost basis lies in that range. This cluster marks a heavy realised-price 
node where a large volume of coins moves from loss to breakeven as spot 
revisits $0.20, creating a clearly defined resistance zone. In combination, 
subdued valuation on the Mayer Multiple, a reset in “days at a loss,” the 
largest active-address spike since September, recent whale accumulation of 480 
million DOGE and a well-defined $0.20 cost-basis wall form a favourable on- 
chain basis. Whether those higher levels are reached will depend on the 
market’s ability to absorb the 11.72 billion DOGE supply stacked around $0.20 
and sustain the recent improvement in on-chain activity and large-holder 
demand. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.14451. Featured image created with
