Doge to $1?! 🤯Whales are BACK! 🐳

by

Dogecoin, that old rascal, is at it again! But hold on to your hats, comrades, because this isn’t your babushka’s Dogecoin-fueled frenzy. No, no. This time, it’s the whales. Those leviathans of the crypto-sea 🐳. They’re the ones causing the commotion. Or so they would have us believe. 🤔

On the 14th of April, these supposedly colossal DOGE whales (more like guppies with delusions of grandeur, if you ask me 🐟) scooped up a measly 800 million tokens. A pittance! A mere drop in the vodka bottle that is the crypto market! They splashed out a paltry $128 million on this meme coin. Such extravagance! Such… calculated madness! It usually means they’re positioning themselves for a “potential shift in momentum.” Ah, the eternal dance of speculation! 💃

Why are these alleged whales stuffing themselves with Dogecoin, you ask?

Aha! That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? (Or rather, the 128-million-dollar question). Supposedly, beneath the surface, a murky swamp of rumors and conjecture, Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart (names as trustworthy as a Politburo promise) estimate a 75% chance that a spot Dogecoin ETF could be approved in 2025. Only Bitcoin is deemed more worthy! 🙄

NEW: @EricBalchunas and I took a look at the filings for spot crypto ETFs. We’re putting out relatively high odds of approval across the board. Mainly focused on Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin for now.

Here’s the table with the odds and some other details:

The esteemed (and occasionally bewildered) SEC views DOGE more like a commodity than a security. A potato, perhaps? A loaf of bread? 🥔🍞 This is a “big deal” in a space where regulatory clarity is as rare as a sober bear in a vodka distillery. This allegedly puts DOGE in a “favorable position” for “institutional adoption.” Oh, the jargon! It’s enough to make a babushka weep. 😭

And then there’s the “cultural force” behind Dogecoin. Elon Musk, the benevolent Tsar of Tweets, still backs it publicly. It’s the only meme coin with “mainstream recognition” that rivals Bitcoin. Unlike Ethereum, which some investors still see as playing catch-up to BTC (a race as absurd as a cockroach trying to outrun a rocket), Dogecoin has its spotlight — and its narrative. A narrative as compelling as a moth’s infatuation with a flickering bulb. 💡

Just last week, 21Shares became the third “major institution” (a relative term, I assure you), after Grayscale and Bitwise, to file for a DOGE ETF. It’s not just noise, they say. “Institutional interest is growing,” they claim. And the “whales” (those pesky guppies) are already making their move. A move as subtle as a drunken bear tap-dancing on a samovar. 🐻

DOGE Price Outlook – A Mirage of Bullishness, But Beware the Trendline

From a “technical point of view” (a phrase that always makes me reach for my headache pills 💊), Dogecoin is showing “early signs” that it might be getting ready to “bounce back.” On the daily chart, the price recently dropped lower, but the RSI (a “momentum indicator” – sounds like something from a Soviet tractor factory) didn’t follow — it moved higher. That kind of “mismatch” often “hints” that the downward trend “could be” losing steam. So many qualifiers! It’s enough to make a fortune teller blush. 🔮

That said, DOGE isn’t “in the clear” just yet. It’s still “stuck” below a “key trendline” that’s been pushing the price down for weeks. Until it breaks above that line, any “short-term bounce” might not last. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if DOGE falls again to around $0.14, which “could” actually be a “good thing” if it forms a “solid base” there (a “double bottom” – oh, the poetry of finance!) before heading higher. Perhaps it will sprout wings and fly to the moon? 🚀

As of today, DOGE has moved up to around $0.7325, showing some “strength” in the “short term.” But for that move to “really mean something,” we need to see “strong buying volume” and a “proper breakout” above the trendline. In other words, we need a miracle. 🙏

Can PEPE Outperform DOGE in 2025? A Battle of the Memes!

While DOGE might be positioning for a “solid rally,” it’s “important to zoom out.” Dogecoin’s “massive market cap” makes it “less likely” to deliver those “crazy 10x or 100x gains” that early-stage investors usually chase. It’s like expecting a hippopotamus to win a sprint! 🦛

That’s exactly why many “high-risk, high-reward players” (gamblers, let’s be honest) have started shifting toward smaller, more volatile meme coins — and PEPE is right at the top of that list. PEPE! A frog! The absurdity! 😂

PEPE exploded onto the scene in 2023, tapping into Ethereum’s meme culture and quickly turning heads with its “sky-high returns.” But it’s “proven” it’s more than just a “passing trend.” Or so they say. I remain skeptical. 🐸

The coin still has “strong liquidity,” “devs” are “actively working behind the scenes,” and it continues to “dominate crypto chatter,” especially in Asia, where it’s “picked up serious momentum.” All the buzzwords! It’s like a communist party meeting, but with more frogs. ☭

The biggest edge PEPE has over DOGE right now is its size. It’s still in that “early, high-upside phase,” giving it way more room to run. DOGE, on the other hand, moves slower, safer, sure, but not as aggressively when it comes to upside. It’s the difference between a Trabant and a Ferrari. 🚗

And there’s something else — PEPE is quick. It adapts faster to “market sentiment,” “viral trends,” and “whale activity.” In the meme coin game, that speed can be everything. With meme coins, timing and virality matter just as much as fundamentals, and PEPE continues to capitalize on both. It’s a whirlwind of absurdity, I tell you! 🤪

Dogecoin is building “momentum” again, this time backed by “smart money” and “ETF speculation.” The “technicals are shaping up,” and the “fundamentals are catching attention.” If it can hold current levels and break its descending trendline, DOGE could be on the path to $1 by 2025. Maybe. Perhaps. If pigs fly. 🐷

But if you’re chasing “asymmetrical gains,” PEPE still holds more firepower in terms of “volatility” and “potential upside.” It’s the meme coin with the most to prove — and the most to gain — this cycle. A frog on a mission! 🚀🐸

So while DOGE might be the meme coin for the institutions, PEPE might still be the one for the degenerates. And in crypto, both camps usually end up winning, just at different times. Or losing. Mostly losing. But what is life if not a grand, absurd gamble? 🎲
