Dogecoin’s price action is beginning to tell a quiet but compelling story, as 
key structural signals align to support a potential move higher. While the 
meme coin has stayed under the radar recently, a closer look at its chart 
reveals a foundation of gradually rising lows and well-respected support 
levels, which are classic traits of an asset quietly building strength. This 
setup suggests that Dogecoin may be forming a base for a larger upside move. 
If confirmed, the path ahead could see DOGE testing higher resistance zones as 
confidence subtly returns to the market. Ascending Wedge Emerges On DOGE’s 
30-Minute Chart According to a recent analysis shared by Thomas Anderson on X, 
Dogecoin is currently forming an ascending wedge pattern on the 30-minute 
chart, a technical setup often associated with potential breakout scenarios. 
At the time of his post, DOGE was trading around $0.17397, testing the 
200-period moving average. Related Reading: What Will Send Dogecoin Soaring? 
Analyst Reveals The Key Drivers Despite this overhead pressure, the price 
remains securely above a critical support zone at $0.16424, reinforcing the 
strength of the current uptrend on this lower timeframe. Anderson further 
emphasized that short-term momentum appears bullish, supported by a steady 
increase in trading volume, a positive sign that market participants are 
engaging with the move. However, he issued a note of caution based on broader 
context: the 1-hour chart shows DOGE is trading near the upper boundary of the 
pattern. As the price approaches the pattern’s upper boundary, the potential 
for rejection and a pullback grows. Traders are advised to stay alert and 
consider both the bullish wedge on the M30 and the larger bearish context on 
H1, as this confluence might lead to heightened volatility in the near term. 
Dogecoin Nears Falling Wedge Breakout In a recent update shared on X, 
Whales_Crypto_Trading pointed out that DOGE is trading at the edge of a 
falling wedge pattern on the daily chart, a technical formation hinting at 
upcoming bullish reversals. This pattern has been developing over time, 
showing a gradual narrowing of price swings as DOGE coils within a tightening 
range. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Eyes Breakout: Could an Upside Rally 
Spark Full-On Recovery? According to Whales_Crypto_Trading, if DOGE 
successfully breaks out of this wedge, it could unleash a powerful rally in 
the medium term, pushing prices 80–100% higher. This projection aligns with 
historical behavior following similar wedge breakouts, where compressed price 
action leads to explosive moves once resistance is cleared. The setup 
highlights a crucial moment for DOGE, with bulls looking for a confirmation 
signal while bears attempt to maintain downward pressure. A clean breakout 
could shift sentiment decisively, turning this long-standing consolidation 
into a strong upward trend. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from

Dogecoin Structural Signals Align: Chart Suggests A Quietly Confident Path Toward Higher Levels

**Key takeaways:**
 * Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by August or September of this year if BTC breaks above the parabolic slope pattern. 
Bitcoin (BTC) price jumped to new quarterly highs at $96,700 on May 1, a day 
after the US GDP contracted -0.3% for the first time since Q2 2022. Amid 
heightened economic concerns, the probability of a Federal Reserve interest 
rate cut rose to 62.8% for the June 18 Federal Reserve meeting.
Over the past 24 hours, short position liquidations exceeded $137 million, 
with Alphractal founder Joao Wedson observing that BTC&#8217;s price momentum 
continues to favor bullish trends.

## Peter Brandt predicts a $150K Bitcoin top by Q3
In a recent post on X, veteran trader Peter Brandt forecasted a Bitcoin price 
rally, potentially reaching $125,000 to $150,000 by August or September 2025. 
The trader predicted a parabolic arc pattern in Bitcoin&#8217;s price chart&#8211;a 
technical formation often signaling rapid rises followed by sharp corrections, 
as seen in the 2017 Bitcoin surge.

Brandt noted that Bitcoin must reclaim its broken parabolic slope to achieve 
the above target. However, he cautioned that a 50%+ correction could follow 
the peak, reflecting the pattern&#8217;s characteristic volatility.
From an onchain perspective, Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. pointed out 
that Bitcoin is on the cusp of a &#8220;start&#8221; rally zone. The analyst underlined 
three scenarios, with the optimistic (bull) case outlining a price target 
above $150,000. Adler Jr. added,
&gt; &#8220;If the Ratio breaks through 1.0 and holds above it, the NUPL/MVRV metrics 
&gt; will show a new impulse, and the price could reach $150-175K, repeating the 
&gt; cycle logic of 2017 and 2021.&#8221;

In a baseline scenario, BTC&#8217;s price may consolidate within a $90,000 to 
$110,000 range if new capital inflows remain limited and existing investors do 
not increase their positions.
Lastly, a bearish case could unfold if further profit-taking from short-term 
holders takes place, leading to a correction down to $85,000-$70,000.
Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has displayed a consistent breakout pattern, 
surging 13% before entering sideways consolidation, then breaking out again to 
reach $93,000-$96,000.
BTC is currently breaking out of its existing resistance range. Still, as 
shown in the chart below, a significant volume cluster between $96,000 and 
$99,000 suggests a phase of consolidation before Bitcoin can test the $100,000 
mark.

Cryptocurrency can accelerate artificial intelligence adoption by helping AI 
startups onboard users, according to Polygon&#8217;s co-founder Sandeep Nailwal.
&#8220;You can use crypto incentives and disincentives to onboard users to onboard 
the ecosystem players,&#8221; Nailwal said during a panel discussion at the 
LONGITUDE by Cointelegraph event.
He added that projects with effective onchain incentive structures might even 
&#8220;build a better AI because you have this incentive engine that brings in 
developers,&#8221; Nailwal said on May 1.
Cointelegraph&#8217;s LONGITUDE is an event series that brings together leaders and 
innovators from the blockchain and Web3 space for exclusive discussions.
Joining the panel, Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of the Near Protocol, expanded 
on crypto&#8217;s long-term synergy with AI, forecasting that crypto-native AI 
agents could replace traditional web application front-ends as the primary 
user interfaces for Web3.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t need applications or websites anymore. Your AI becomes the interface 
to computing and the internet,&#8221; Polosukhin said.

However, Nailwal cautioned that the rise of AI-related tokens onchain has also 
attracted a wave of opportunistic scams. &#8220;We know that 99% of those projects 
are literally token scams, but very few projects are actually trying to have 
some meaningful AI project,&#8221; he said.
## The era of Web3 AI agents
AI agents are expected to take on a more prominent role within decentralized 
communities, J.D. Seraphine, co-founder of Web3 developer Raiinmaker, recently 
told Cointelegraph.
According to a report by VanEck, over 1 million AI agents could enter the 
market in 2025, with many of them tied to decentralized finance applications. 
Such agents are already reshaping the digital economy, building decentralized 
applications, launching tokens, and interacting with humans autonomously.

&#8220;AI is an extremely centralizing force. A few companies could become the 
warlords of the world,&#8221; Nailwal said.
&#8220;That&#8217;s why crypto-native, peer-to-peer AI solutions are so important&#8211;they 
enable privacy-preserving innovation,&#8221; Polosukhin said.
