TLDR
- Dogecoin price currently trading in a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating a possible 30% breakout
- Grayscale filed for a Dogecoin ETF, competing with Rex-Osprey and Bitwise applications
- Polymarket data shows 75% approval odds for a DOGE ETF in 2025

- Technical indicators show bullish structure with support at $0.20 and resistance at $0.25
Dogecoin is consolidating within a symmetrical triangle pattern as major financial institutions file for DOGE-based ETFs. The popular memecoin is trading around $0.22, with technical analysis suggesting a potential 30% move once the price breaks out of its current range.
The weekly chart shows DOGE attempted to break past range highs at $0.25 in mid-July but faced resistance. Bulls have maintained support at the $0.20 level, though trading volume remains modest.
On-chain data reveals whale buying during recent price dips, showing conviction from larger holders. However, DOGE has underperformed compared to Bitcoin and Binance Coin, which recently set new all-time highs.
Technical indicators provide mixed signals. The weekly RSI has moved above the neutral 50-level, suggesting bullish momentum. The On-Balance Volume indicator has also climbed higher over the past month, indicating increased buying pressure.

ETF Filings Boost Institutional Interest
On August 15, Grayscale filed an application with the SEC for a Dogecoin ETF. The filing named several key partners: BNY Mellon as administrator, CSC Delaware Trust Company as trustee, and Coinbase handling brokerage and custody functions.
Grayscale isn’t alone in pursuing a DOGE ETF. Rex-Osprey and Bitwise have also submitted applications to the SEC. While similar products exist in European markets, a US-approved Dogecoin ETF would be the first of its kind domestically.
Prediction markets reflect growing optimism about regulatory approval. Data from Polymarket shows the probability of a DOGE ETF approval in 2025 has reached 75%, representing a 38% increase from the beginning of the year. The prediction contract has logged more than $141,000 in trading volume.
Market analysts note this increased institutional interest could expand accessibility to investors who prefer traditional brokerage accounts over cryptocurrency exchanges.
Long-Term Price Projections
For Dogecoin to reach $1 by 2025, its market cap would need to grow to approximately $116.41 billion – comparable to BNB’s current valuation but still far below Ethereum’s $517.18 billion.
The $5 target by 2030 would require substantial network growth. Key metrics like active addresses, transaction count, developer activity, and accumulation from long-term holders would need to improve dramatically.
Monthly charts reveal DOGE failed to defend the $0.35 area as support at the start of 2025, showing some weakness in its longer-term structure. For sustained bullish momentum, the $0.35-$0.45 range needs to be reclaimed as support.
Market participants say the convergence of the technical triangle pattern and regulatory filings creates conditions where DOGE could move sharply once clarity emerges from either technical breakout or SEC decisions.
The price currently tests both support and resistance levels repeatedly, holding above $0.20 while approaching the $0.25 resistance. As the price nears the apex of the triangle, trading activity has slowed, but analysts expect volatility to increase once the pattern resolves.
Dogecoin’s nature as a memecoin means its fortunes remain tied to market sentiment and community support. While corporate adoption could fuel future price appreciation, DOGE continues to be viewed as a high-risk, high-reward investment even for those with long time horizons.
The technical triangle formation is expected to resolve soon, potentially defining the next major price move for the popular cryptocurrency.
