The cryptocurrency market has mounted a solid comeback in recent weeks, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) continuing to lead the charge. BTC has surged by 21%, while ETH has jumped over 54% in the past month. This wave of bullish sentiment is also lifting spirits across the memecoin sector, including the OG memecoin — Dogecoin (DOGE).

$DOGE has posted impressive monthly gains of over 38%, and now, a powerful fractal pattern is flashing a familiar signal that could hint at a much bigger move ahead.

Key Fractal Hints at a Major Upside Move

According to crypto analyst @javierosantini, Dogecoin is currently showing a fractal pattern that mirrors its 2017 and 2021 bull run setups. Each cycle was marked by a multi-year downtrend line, followed by a sharp breakout and a massive rally against Bitcoin (BTC).

As seen in the latest chart, DOGE is once again approaching the upper boundary of its long-term descending trendline, a resistance that has historically acted as the “trigger zone” for explosive upside moves.

Adding strength to this thesis is the RSI (Relative Strength Index) on the lower panel of the chart. Like in 2017 and 2021, the RSI had also been stuck below a descending resistance line. Each breakout from that RSI trendline preceded a significant price surge. The current RSI breakout mirrors those historical setups — reinforcing the bullish signal.

What This Could Mean for DOGE in 2025

If this fractal continues to play out like in previous cycles, DOGE could be gearing up for a vertical rally against Bitcoin. The projected move (illustrated on the chart by the tall blue arrows) suggests a potential parabolic breakout phase could ne on horizon.

DOGE is currently trading around 0.00000216 BTC — and historically, such fractal breakouts have led to multi-fold gains. In 2017 and 2021, these moves translated into more than 10x rallies.

However, it's essential to watch the trendline zone carefully. A sustained breakout will be critical to validate the setup, which could lead the price towards $1 in the upcoming months.
