Dogecoin’s rally has brought about more discussions across the crypto space. According to DonAlt, DOGE has climbed 140% since November, reaching $0.40, a level last seen in late 2021.
DonAlt believes the “dog has the right to the second leg,” suggesting another phase of vertical growth that could challenge its all-time high of $0.74.

Market sentiment supports this optimism, with the Fear and Greed Index at 81% and rising OBV signaling trader interest.
However, RSI overbought levels and Dogecoin’s historical volatility caution against overexuberance, as similar spikes often led to sharp pullbacks.
The path to $1 for DOGE
Dogecoin’s potential path to $1 hinges on two contrasting scenarios. The first involves a period of consolidation, where Dogecoin establishes firm support between $0.40 and $0.50. This measured approach could attract cautious investors, creating a stable foundation for a gradual rise.
The second, more volatile scenario envisions a momentum-driven rally fueled by speculative interest and whale activity. This could push DOGE past its all-time high of $0.74.
While the current sentiment, reflected by an 81% Fear and Greed Index, leans toward optimism, Dogecoin’s historical volatility tempers expectations.
Achieving a $1 valuation would also require a market cap exceeding $140 billion, challenging its current fundamentals. Still, the momentum of November’s rally suggests the milestone, though ambitious, may not be impossible.
Is the $100 billion market cap next?
With its current valuation at $57 billion, reaching a $100 billion market cap would require nearly doubling its price. Factors such as whale accumulation, media attention, and broader adoption in sectors like payments or tipping could fuel this growth.
Popular crypto analyst Master Kenobi views this potential milestone as more than a financial target. He sees it as a cultural and psychological win for the Dogecoin community, revitalizing enthusiasm among retail investors and institutions.
However, achieving such a valuation demands more than speculative hype. It requires tangible developments within the ecosystem, including partnerships, integrations, and increasing utility.

Despite the optimism, the risks remain. Dogecoin’s price history is marked by short-term surges followed by sharp corrections. Without fundamental growth, maintaining a $100 billion market cap could be fleeting.
