Analyst Predicts DOGE Bull Run
Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez predicts a bull run for DOGE. In a Twitter thread, he explains that the current correction is typical for DOGE and has preceded previous bull runs.
Martinez draws parallels to 2017, when DOGE broke out of a descending triangle pattern and experienced a 40% correction before a 982% bull run. A similar scenario occurred in 2021, with a 56% retracement followed by a 12,197% surge and an all-time high. Martinez believes that DOGE is poised for a similar bull run.
