Dogecoin (DOGE) is again drawing attention with new analysis from an 
investment data analysis platform, Alphractal points to strengthening network 
metrics that could pave the way for a significant price breakout. With miners 
driving hash rate levels toward record highs and long-term valuation models 
signaling room for growth, the popular meme coin appears to be building a 
solid base for its next potential move higher. Dogecoin Market Metrics To 
Spark Breakout In an X social media post on Thursday, Alphractal highlighted 
that Dogecoin’s underlying blockchain strength may set the stage for a 
potential breakout. Despite being one of the most volatile assets in the 
crypto market, Dogecoin’s mining network continues to showcase resilience, 
with hash rate activity trending toward record highs. Related Reading: 
Dogecoin Targets $1.25, But This 170% Move Is The Start The latest data shows 
that Dogecoin’s mean hash rate has steadily climbed since 2020, closely 
mirroring its price growth, and signaling that miner commitment has persisted 
and intensified even during long consolidations. This level of mining 
participation demonstrates miners&#8217; continued confidence and reflects the DOGE 
network&#8217;s growing robustness. With hash rate trending near its highest 
historical levels, the meme coin’s security and transaction reliability remain 
well-supported, mitigating concerns over structural weakness. At the core of 
Alphractal’s analysis is its newly developed Network Stress Index, a metric 
designed to gauge blockchain health by combining multiple key stress 
indicators. Higher readings on the stress index typically point to turbulence 
or instability, while lower values reflect a balanced and secure network 
environment. Recent readings show that Dogecoin’s network is currently stable, 
with no immediate signs of systemic stress, opening the door for potential 
upward momentum. The resilience of Dogecoin’s network metrics may also play a 
key role as it continues trading around what Alphractal calls the True Market 
Mean Price. As DOGE consolidates within this range, a strong foundation is 
being built for a potential breakout that could drive the meme coin toward its 
next major price milestone. Alpha Price And CVDD Highlight DOGE’s Long-Term 
Upside Beyond network resilience and hash rates, Alphractal’s models, such as 
the Alpha Price and the Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD), provide deeper 
insights into Dogecoin’s valuation potential. The Alpha Price acts as a 
sentiment-driven gravitational model, capturing where the asset should trade 
relative to broader psychological and technical conditions. Related Reading:

Historical alignment between Dogecoin’s market price and the Alpha Price 
suggests that this model often serves as a reliable compass during rallies and 
corrections. Meanwhile, the CVDD model has been one of the most accurate 
indicators for identifying long-term tops and bottoms in UTXO-based 
blockchains like Dogecoin, Bitcoin, and Litecoin. According to Alphractal, 
current CVDD readings for Dogecoin highlight how the price is consolidating 
between the lower and upper bands, mirroring patterns seen ahead of previous 
major rallies. The analysis reports that the CVDD top currently sits at around 
$0.54, but this threshold could rise as dormant coins begin moving back into 
circulation. This dynamic is expected to drive the DOGE price to $1, 
particularly if heightened network activity sparks a new wave of speculative 
demand. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
