Pattern That Led To Dogecoin Price 36,000% Surge In 2021 Has Emerged Again, Will History Repeat?

Dogecoin just endured a sharp weekend drawdown, slipping back below the $0.20s after failing to extend its early October rebound. This decline was enough to wipe out many weeks of steady gains and shake retail sentiment. However, amid the volatility, the monthly chart is still bullish. Despite the weekend crash, Dogecoin is well above its 25-month moving average and is trading near the same structural zone that preceded past parabolic rallies.

This setup caught the attention of a technical analyst on X known as EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL, who pointed out that the same pattern that preceded Dogecoin’s 36,000% breakout in 2021 has now resurfaced.

According to the analyst’s long-term monthly chart, Dogecoin has repeatedly entered explosive bull runs after exhibiting three major technical conditions: a breakout from a prolonged falling trend, sustained trading above the 25MA, and a successful retest phase that confirms structural strength. Each of these setups has led to massive price expansions, most notably the 36,000% surge that catapulted DOGE from fractions of a cent to its May 2021 all-time high of $0.7316.

As shown in the chart below, the same technical conditions are playing out again. The falling trendline that had capped Dogecoin’s growth since mid-2021 has already been broken, and the price is well positioned above the 25MA. The ongoing consolidation is representing the retest phase, the same period that preceded the last two major parabolic runs in 2017 and 2021.

Another important observation highlighted by the analyst is that each historical breakout was preceded by what is referred to as the NGMI (Not Gonna Make It) phase. This is typically when Dogecoin is trading sideways or dipping slightly after breaking out of its multi-month falling trendline.

As it stands, Dogecoin’s monthly price pattern is now back to trading around this downward trendline, which it broke above in late 2024. The latest candlestick wick, which was created with Dogecoin’s recent fall to $0.18, saw it touching this trendline again very briefly.

However, if Dogecoin’s recurring structural pattern continues to play out as it has before, the current downtrend phase might precede another strong rally. The technical alignment, a combination of price stability above the 25MA, the breakout from a long-term downtrend, and the retest confirmation, means that momentum is still quietly building beneath the surface.

Although no chart can guarantee a repetition of the 2021 magnitude, EᴛʜᴇʀNᴀꜱʏᴏɴᴀL’s technical outlook provides a compelling argument that Dogecoin’s larger bullish cycle is still intact. 

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.201, down by 5.2% and 23% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.
