Dogecoin changed hands near $0.162 in late-European trading on June 26, little 
changed on the day but still more than 13% above last Sunday’s swing low. Yet 
beneath that placid price action, the market is balancing on what YouTube 
analyst More Crypto Online calls “a wait-and-see situation” that could ignite 
either a decisive upside impulse or a slide back toward $0.14. Dogecoin 
Teeters On The Edge In a video published yesterday under the headline “Is DOGE 
About to CRASH or SOAR? Price Analysis &amp; Scenarios,” the Elliott-wave 
commentator argues that the advance from the June 22 bottom remains 
incomplete. &#8220;The Doge chart is currently still, yeah, trying to reverse here 
to the upside from the swing low that formed on the 22nd of June,” he says at 
the outset, stressing that the rise so far is “only a three-wave move.” 
Because the structure has not yet printed the full five-wave sequence that 
typically inaugurates a new bullish trend, he cautions traders against 
assuming the worst is over. Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashes Rare Buy 
Signal—But One Move Could Ruin It The technician locates that June 22 low 
inside a demand band between $0.15 and $0.14, a zone that also includes the 
78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement of the May–June rally and sits just above 
April’s cycle through—his hard “invalidation point.” From there, Dogecoin 
bounced in what he labels an a-b-c recovery, with the third wave peaking at 
$0.169, exactly the 1.618 Fibonacci extension he looks for in a “healthy third 
wave.” If price can now carve a fourth-wave higher low and extend to a fifth- 
wave high near $0.174–$0.177, the analyst says, “we actually get five waves up 
and then we can add support … and we have a setup.” Until that confirmation, 
the move remains a “chameleon-like” B-wave—prone to deeper pullbacks than the 
more bullish wave-two alternative. The line in the sand is $0.158. “Any break 
now below $0.158 cents would indicate the upside-reversal attempt is failed 
and we fall back into the support region, maybe we’ll even test the $0.14 
level,” he warns. Conversely, holding that micro-support and punching through 
the $0.17 handle would provide the first “evidence” that a durable bottom has 
formed. Related Reading: Dogecoin Crash Far From Over? Analyst Reveals The 
Target The stakes are high because, as the analyst points out, confirmation of 
a five-wave impulse would force subsequent corrections to respect a higher-low 
framework, allowing traders to reposition with clearer risk parameters. 
Failure would likely drag Dogecoin back into the wide consolidation range that 
has dominated June and risk flipping sentiment toward a protracted downside 
grind. For now, the memecoin’s near-term fate rests on whether buyers can 
engineer that final fifth-wave pop without first violating $0.158. “At the 
moment,” he concludes, “we’re in a wait-and-see situation to see if we 
actually get five waves up.” Until the chart resolves, Dogecoin remains 
suspended between a technical breakout and another leg down—boom or bust 
hinging on a single intraday signal. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.161.

Boom Or Bust? Dogecoin Awaits Critical Signal, Says Analyst

The Bitcoin price could be entering the final and most explosive phase of its 
current market cycle, as an analyst maps out the cryptocurrency’s next 
movements onto a parabolic step-like structure. Reinforcing this bullish 
outlook is the Elliott Wave 5 count, which points to an epic price rally that 
could propel Bitcoin above $300,000, eclipsing its previous all-time high and 
current market value by a substantial margin. Bitcoin Price Ultimate Parabolic 
Push Unveiled A newly released Bitcoin price forecast by X (formerly Twitter) 
crypto analyst Gert van Lagen boldly suggests that the leading cryptocurrency 
may be on the verge of its most aggressive bull run this cycle. Lagen’s price 
chart indicates that BTC is firmly locked into a parabolic step-like growth 
structure, potentially eyeing an extended Wave 5 breakout that could drive 
prices well beyond $345,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Elliott Wave Count 
Predicts Further Crash To $94,000, But What Next? The trajectory of the 
analyst’s chart illustrates a clear parabolic growth curve anchored by four 
distinct formations, labeled Base 1 through Base 4. Each of these bases 
represents a phase of accumulation and consolidation that preceded a Bitcoin 
price breakout. This structure also mirrors a textbook parabolic setup, where 
each new base sets the stage for steeper upward moves. Most notably, after the 
completion of Base 3, marked by the inflection point on the chart, Bitcoin 
launched into a sharp rally, confirming the expected parabolic behavior. 
Lagen’s analysis now indicates that BTC’s current Base 4 has been completed, 
followed by a corrective A-B-C structure that appears to have reached its 
bottom, positioning the cryptocurrency for the anticipated final leg of its 
cycle. Using Elliott Wave theory, Bitcoin’s price action is still unfolding 
within the fifth wave, which is the final advance in the five-wave impulsive 
cycle. The price chart identifies Wave 1 as beginning shortly after the 2022 
lows. This was followed by a powerful breakout in 2023, which defined Wave 3, 
while Wave 4 concluded more recently with a classic corrective pattern. 
Notably, the upcoming Wave 5 could see Bitcoin skyrocket anywhere between 
$300,000 and $425,000, depending on the timing and strength of its bullish 
momentum. Timeline For Game-Changing Rally A key element in Lagen’s analysis 
is the dynamic “sell line” drawn near the upper end of the parabolic arc that 
runs underneath the Bitcoin price movement on the chart. According to the 
analyst, the longer it takes for Bitcoin to hit this projected vertical 
trajectory, the higher the price at which the potential market top might 
occur. This is due to the upward curvature of the parabolic trend line itself, 
which steepens over time. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Surge To $130,000 Next? 
What The Wave Count Says Currently, Lagen forecasts an early breakout by July 
7, 2025, if momentum resumes immediately. However, if Bitcoin continues 
consolidating through the summer, the projected peak could rise further, as 
the sell line would continue climbing over time. Featured image from Pixabay,
