Why Dogecoin (DOGE) is Up: Crypto Traders Bet on Price Rally as ETF Speculation Grows
Dogecoin's price movements have been anything but stable, yet there is optimism the meme coin is primed for a major rally. Recent predictions place DOGE's next peak anywhere between $2.20 and $4, with influential traders highlighting the current range as a key accumulation zone.
Meanwhile, speculation around a Dogecoin ETF is adding to the excitement, with analysts assigning a 75% chance of approval in the coming months. As whale activity surges and Elon Musk's latest government venture stirs discussion, could DOGE be gearing up for a breakout?
DOGE's Price Action
Dogecoin has faced choppy trading in recent weeks, recovering 4% and 5% in the past day and week, respectively. Additionally, large holders, commonly referred to as whales, have been actively accumulating millions of DOGE in recent weeks. According to CoinMarketCap data, DOGE ranks #8 with a market capitalization of more than $40 billion.

This behavior signals confidence in the asset and reduces its circulating supply, potentially setting the stage for higher prices. If smaller investors follow suit, Dogecoin could see fresh capital inflows that further fuel its momentum.
Adding another layer of intrigue, the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), led by Elon Musk, has sparked renewed speculation about Dogecoin's potential ties to the agency.
Whales and Musk's Influence
The department briefly displayed DOGE's logo on its website last month, leading to a sharp price increase before the image was removed. While there's no official connection between the meme coin and the agency, Musk's history of influencing DOGE's price through social media remains a wildcard factor.
Beyond price action, regulatory shifts have driven optimism regarding the approval of crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
