Patel suggested a “accumulation zone” for DOGE between $0.07 and $0.10, suggesting a potential long-term price target that could be significantly higher. Based on his prediction, he believes that in the long term, DOGE could rise to $1 or perhaps $2.
The passionate “Doge Army” has a history of raising prices through social media campaigns and enthusiastic shopping spree. Renewed interest from the community, fueled by positive outlooks from analysts like Patel’s, could lead to an increase in trading activity and potentially push the price higher.
The challenge of sustainability
The question of Dogecoin’s long-term sustainability remains. Memecoins are inherently volatile and their value is often tied to social media hype and trends rather than real-world usefulness. While a short-term boost is certainly possible, long-term success depends on factors beyond community enthusiasm.

For Dogecoin to truly establish itself, it needs wider adoption and real-world use cases. Although developers are working on improvements like the “Dogechain” scaling solution, progress has been slow. Continued development and integration with major platforms will be crucial for DOGE to achieve lasting success.
The way forward for DOGE
The next few months will be critical for Dogecoin. Will it capitalize on its newfound resilience and community support to carve out a niche in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape? Or will the inherent volatility of memecoins ultimately lead to their decline?
