Musk has a well-known track record of moving the meme coin\u2019s price with little more than a tweet or public endorsement. From referring to DOGE as \u201cthe people&#8217;s crypto&#8221; to changing his X profile to Dogecoin-related images, Musk&#8217;s past interactions with the meme coin have triggered some of its most explosive price surges.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Kucuker anchors his projections in what he describes as a &#8220;very clean chart,&#8221; which traces a descending channel that has been guiding Dogecoin&#8217;s price action since its peak earlier in 2025. Within this channel, DOGE has been moving in a consistent zigzag pattern, grinding sideways while hitting the channel&#8217;s upper and lower boundaries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-896028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Dogecoin-chart-from-Celal-Kucuker.jpg?w=512&#038;resize=512%2C287\" alt=\"Dogecoin\" width=\"512\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The channel reveals a consistent, recurring pattern in Dogecoin&#8217;s price. Each time the meme coin has risen to touch the upper boundary of the descending channel, it has formed a local high before pulling back. The first touch led to a local top of around $0.517, and the second produced a lower high of roughly $0.315.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this recurring trend, Kucuker believes that Dogecoin is preparing to touch this upper boundary a third time, potentially leading to a lower high at $0.204. Once that happens, the analyst expects a pullback toward $0.09.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At this bottom point, Dogecoin is likely forming a strong base for its next upward move. Kucuker predicts that once this potential rally begins, Dogecoin&#8217;s price will officially break free from its multi-year descending channel and begin its ascent toward its ultimate top around $1.61.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, before reaching that target, the analyst noted that Dogecoin will have to cross several resistance and support levels. He marked them at $0.50, $0.12, $0.30, $0.08, $0.20, $0.010, and finally $1.60. Each of these levels represents critical checkpoints where price could rise sharply toward or reverse its advance before the next leg up begins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Reveals Best Time To Buy DOGE Before A $12 Run<\/h2>\n<p>Market expert Mikybullcrypto has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mikybullcrypto\/status\/2054191078849364360?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">shared<\/a> the ideal time for investors and traders to reenter the Dogecoin market. According to the analyst, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/when-to-buy-dogecoin\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the best time to build positions<\/a> in the meme coin is around the $0.10, where DOGE is currently trading<\/p>\n<p>The reason the analyst has marked this area as a key buy zone is because he believes that a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/fourth-dogecoin-price-rally\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">strong bullish rally<\/a> to $12 is imminent.
