You're highlighting a common belief in crypto cycles: $DOGE acting as an early signal for altseason. Historically, this has played out a few times — most notably in 2017 and 2021 — where $DOGE pumped ahead of major moves in the broader altcoin market.

Key points in your claim:

$DOGE breaking out of a downtrend could suggest renewed retail interest.

Altseason often follows large DOGE rallies due to increased liquidity and retail FOMO.

Momentum from DOGE can spill over into other memecoins, then mid-cap alts, and finally lower-cap tokens.

That said, correlation doesn't always equal causation. Macroeconomic conditions, Bitcoin dominance, and narrative-driven hype (e.g., AI, RWA, L2s) also heavily influence altseasons.
