Dogecoin has now entered the longest period below its all-time high in its 
history—over 1,550 days and counting—with crypto analyst VisionPulsed warning 
that while a breakout may eventually come, the asset remains locked in what he 
calls a “bearish forever” pattern. In his August 6 video update, VisionPulsed 
provided a sobering macro-to-micro analysis of Dogecoin’s price action, 
underscoring the asset’s historic underperformance compared to other large-cap 
cryptocurrencies. “We’re now setting a Guinness World Record for most days 
below the all-time high for Dogecoin,” he remarked. “First cycle was 1,200 
days, second cycle was 1,126. Right now, we are at a staggering 1,550-plus 
days.” That milestone, he argued, is not just symbolic—it reflects deep 
structural weakness in DOGE’s market cycle. And despite growing chatter in the 
macro space about a potential liquidity-driven reversal, he’s not yet 
convinced that Dogecoin is ready to respond. A central theme of the analysis 
is the Global M2 money supply, which VisionPulsed has tracked for months as a 
leading macro indicator for crypto risk appetite. While he acknowledges that 
the M2 bottomed in June, he emphasizes that this alone hasn’t historically 
triggered immediate upside for Dogecoin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Whales Buy 
The Dip: $1 Billion DOGE Added “The Global M2 has put in a bottom… but 
Dogecoin did not move higher until the M2 shot up. And we don’t have that 
yet,” he explained. “Could we still be bearish? Technically yes… because it’s 
always bearish forever and ever.” Ethereum, by contrast, is described by the 
analyst as “much more sensitive to the M2,” and has begun showing signs of 
recovery. This divergence, in his view, reinforces the idea that DOGE may 
continue to consolidate or retrace further before making a meaningful move. 
Dogecoin Chop Before Pop? VisionPulsed suggests that Dogecoin is likely 
forming a choppy consolidation structure, similar to prior phases that 
eventually resolved to the upside. He doesn’t dismiss the possibility of a 
rally in the near future—particularly if price holds current levels through 
mid-August—but cautions that the bullish case remains highly conditional. “If 
Dogecoin can do this exact move [sideways accumulation], then it should turn 
bullish,” he said, referencing a historical fractal that played out prior to 
earlier rallies. He draws a parallel between sentiment metrics (such as 
YouTube view counts) and market behavior, noting that in previous local 
bottoms, low engagement marked exhaustion in retail capitulation. This time, 
however, he concedes that the floor may already be forming higher—potentially 
due to increased market maturity or broader interest in crypto assets. Long- 
Term Targets: $0.90 To $1.50 While the current tone remains cautious, 
VisionPulsed outlines a clear set of long-term price targets if and when a 
macro reversal does take hold. He splits these into two categories: 
conservative and speculative. “A more conservative estimate… is this lower end 
here, 90 cents to 1.14,” he said, noting that $0.91+ could begin to mark a top 
under the right conditions. Related Reading: Dogecoin Just Hit A Prime Risk- 
Reward Entry, Says Analyst For the more optimistic crowd, the so-called 
“moonboys,” he still sees room—albeit less likely—for a run toward $1.50 or 
even $2. “Even I used to say $2,” he added. “I think the highest I could go 
for a moonboy expectation is right here in this vicinity between $2 to $1.50.” 
Importantly, he stops short of making any time-bound prediction, reiterating 
that macro trends, M2 velocity, and broader altcoin sentiment must first align 
for any of these targets to come into play. As the crypto market heads into 
the later months of the year, VisionPulsed points out that historical cycles 
have often accelerated around this phase, with several final rallies 
initiating in the August–September window. “The further and closer we get to 
the end of the year, it has to start moving faster… At least in recent 
history, when we’ve gotten to where we are, you’ve gone up for your final 
rally,” he noted. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.206. Featured image created
