Every time the price touched its lower boundary, it marked what he calls a generational buying opportunity, pointing to gains of 9,221% in 2017 and 30,694% in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>When DOGE returned to that support in February 2026, the setup pointed to the possibility of another historic run, with $15 as the projected target. Now that DOGE has broken below the boundary, Martinez says the move has removed \u201cthe technical foundation behind the $15 thesis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The OG meme coin was trading around $0.0806 at the time of writing, down about 6.6% for the week and 3% on the day, sitting just below the $0.0813 level several analysts had flagged earlier this month as the line to hold.<\/p>\n<p>Against Bitcoin, the token is almost flat, down about half a percent, so this isn\u2019t a case of DOGE lagging some broader market pullback so much as losing a level tied to its own chart. It also remains 89% below its all-time high of $0.7316, set in May 2021.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Bullish Case Built Up Through August<\/h2>\n<p>The bullish case has been building for weeks. On August 15, Martinez pointed to a monthly TD Sequential buy signal alongside an inverted hammer and a developing doji candle, a combination he compared to a setup from August 2022 that preceded a 145% monthly rally.<\/p>\n<p>He also flagged whale wallets adding more than 430 million DOGE that week. As <em>CryptoPotato<\/em> reported, the meme coin had <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-dogecoin-about-to-go-parabolic-these-doge-signals-suggest-so\/\">slumped<\/a> below $0.07 days earlier, its lowest level in almost three years, with active addresses climbing from 38,000 in July to 44,000, and other analysts, including Crypto Patel, marking the $0.07 to $0.10 range as a long-term accumulation zone.<\/p>\n<p>By late August, DOGE had <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/dogecoin-doge-rises-30-in-a-week-what-are-the-next-targets\/\">rallied<\/a> 30% in a week to near $0.09, clearing that $0.0813 level the market was watching. More aggressive traders went further still, with MikybullCrypto calling for $3 and Vuori Trading predicting $10, a target that would require Dogecoin\u2019s market cap to top $1.5 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>That rally has since faded, with DOGE back under the same resistance it broke through weeks earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/analyst-says-15-dogecoin-target-is-dead-after-long-term-channel-break\/\">Analyst Says $15 Dogecoin Target Is Dead After Long-Term Channel Break<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analyst Ali Martinez says the $15 Dogecoin target he has been tracking since the token\u2019s early days is dead, now that DOGE has broken below the long-term rising channel the whole thesis was built on.
