Dogecoin price action has entered a critical phase as the memecoin trades within a tightening symmetrical triangle formation. The pattern suggests a potential 30% move could be approaching.
Market analyst Ali Martinez identified the triangle structure on DOGE charts. The pattern shows converging trend lines with higher lows and lower highs compressing price action.

DOGE currently trades around $0.22 at press time. The triangle formation has created clear technical levels for traders to watch.
Resistance sits near $0.25 based on Fibonacci retracement levels. Support has been identified near $0.20, giving the triangle clear boundaries.
Trading activity has slowed as the price approaches the apex of the triangle. Once the pattern resolves, analysts expect the breakout direction to determine DOGE’s next trend.
ETF Applications Signal Institutional Interest
Three major firms have filed Dogecoin ETF applications with the SEC. Grayscale submitted its filing on August 15, naming Grayscale Investments Sponsors and Grayscale Operating as co-sponsors.
The Grayscale application lists CSC Delaware Trust Company as trustee. BNY Mellon would serve as transfer agent and administrator.
Coinbase and Coinbase Custody Trust Company were assigned brokerage and custody functions. The filing represents the first major institutional push for a US Dogecoin ETF.
Rex-Osprey and Bitwise have also submitted competing applications. None have received SEC approval yet, but the filings show growing institutional interest.
Comparable Dogecoin products already exist in European markets. A US-approved ETF would be the first of its kind domestically.
Dogecoin Price Prediction
Polymarket data reveals rising confidence in Dogecoin ETF approval. The prediction market shows 75% probability for 2025 approval as of August.
This represents a 38% increase from sentiment at the start of the year. The Polymarket contract has logged over $141,000 in trading volume.
Approval odds fluctuated throughout the year. March and July saw brief spikes before stabilizing in the 70-75% range.
The contract is scheduled to close on December 31, 2025. Traders are pricing in higher chances of success despite SEC’s historically cautious approach.
DOGE’s weekly chart shows a bullish structure remains intact. The memecoin attempted to break past $0.25 range highs in mid-July but was forced to retreat.
The $0.2 mid-range support level has held firm. Weekly RSI has moved above the neutral 50-level and flipped it to support over the past month.
On-Balance Volume has climbed higher over the past month. This indicates greater spot buying pressure supporting the price action.
However, Dogecoin has struggled to keep pace with Bitcoin and Binance Coin. Both assets have set new all-time highs recently while DOGE remains range-bound.
The monthly chart shows DOGE failed to defend $0.35 as support at the start of 2025. This area between $0.35-$0.45 must flip to support for long-term bullish confirmation.
For DOGE to reach $1 by 2025, its market cap would need to hit $116.41 billion. This would match BNB’s current valuation but remain well below Ethereum’s $517.18 billion market cap.
A $5 target by 2030 would require massive network growth. Metrics like active addresses, transaction count, and developer activity would need to increase substantially.
Corporate adoption similar to Ethereum would likely be necessary. Long-term holder accumulation and whale buying would also need to continue.
As of mid-August 2025, the triangle pattern nears resolution with ETF filings creating additional catalysts for potential price movement.
