Dogecoin is exhibiting a price pattern that resembles its behavior before an 8,000% rally in 2021, fueling speculation about another major breakout in the coming weeks.

Dogecoin’s (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/doge-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/doge-price-index">DOGE</a>) price has rebounded 480% from its August lows, including a 220% rally following Donald Trump’s presidential election victory in November. However, the cryptocurrency has now entered a period of consolidation.

Notably, DOGE is trading within a tight range of $0.39-$0.48, marked by red circles on the chart above, following its recent parabolic rebound. The consolidation phase mirrors the one from early 2021 when Dogecoin experienced a strong upward move followed by a sideways trend before another major breakout.

A further similarity between 2021 and current Dogecoin price trends is the weekly relative strength index (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/here-s-3-ways-the-relative-strength-index-rsi-can-be-used-as-a-sell-signal" rel="" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/news/here-s-3-ways-the-relative-strength-index-rsi-can-be-used-as-a-sell-signal">RSI</a>). 
As of December, the weekly RSI had entered overbought territory above 70, a technical signal for either a price correction or prolonged consolidation. In 2021, similar overbought conditions didn’t lead to a significant downturn, but to a bullish continuation. 
If history repeats, DOGE could initially target $0.75 by January 2025, as indicated by Fibonacci retracement projections, reflecting an 85% surge in price.

Onchain data further supports the bullish outlook. 
Messari shows that addresses holding 1 million DOGE or more now hold 130.2 billion DOGE, marking an all-time high. The rising supply of whale addresses indicates growing confidence among large investors in Dogecoin’s upward trajectory.

Elon Musk’s influence continues to play a key role in driving Dogecoin’s performance and growing demand among whales. During the 2020-2021 rally, Musk’s <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/04/28/dogecoin-spikes-on-elon-musks-snl-tweet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/04/28/dogecoin-spikes-on-elon-musks-snl-tweet">frequent tweets</a> in support of the memecoin were instrumental in fueling its dramatic price surge. 
A comparable catalyst has emerged recently with the <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/trump-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-slash-gov-t-doge" rel="" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/news/trump-elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-slash-gov-t-doge">launch of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)</a>, humorously tied to Dogecoin’s ticker, DOGE. This development has sparked renewed speculative interest in the world’s biggest memecoin.
