Dogecoin Bull Run Ends If Rally Doesn’t Start Now, Analyst Warns

[Ben Graham]

Crypto analyst VisionPulsed says Dogecoin’s window for a cycle-defining advance has narrowed to weeks, arguing that a failure to pivot higher in November would likely end the current bull-side setup and shift the conversation to downside risk in 2026.

In a late-November 5 video, the analyst framed Bitcoin’s weekly moving average as the near-term arbiter of trend and, by extension, Dogecoin’s fate: “By the end of the week, we need to see Bitcoin back over $103,000–$104,000. If that ends up happening, then you could start pushing the idea… we could start talking about a Dogecoin rally. If we close below $102k, 100k even, that’s your first confirmation that it is actually a bear market.

Dogecoin Needs Immediate Reversal

VisionPulsed anchored the Dogecoin outlook to a broader read on market structure and cross-asset momentum. He noted that when mapping the “top-10 dominance” basket ex-stablecoins, the market has “fully retraced the alt season from 2021.” Hitting the upper band of that multi-year channel “doesn’t mean it’s the top,” he cautioned, but it reinforces how mature the advance has become. The analyst emphasized that he is not declaring the start of altseason based on this single indicator; rather, he is situating Dogecoin risk in a market that has already re-tested a critical historical boundary.

The immediate gating factor, he said, remains Bitcoin’s weekly moving average and a cluster of corroborating signals. “All eyes are still on $103,000,” VisionPulsed said, pointing to a supertrend read that, so far, mirrors a March episode when price briefly broke below but never closed under it, avoiding a formal sell trigger. He contrasted that with 2021, when confirmed closes below the same tool delivered unambiguous sell signals.

The distinction matters because Dogecoin’s high-beta behavior to Bitcoin tends to compress timelines for both rallies and retracements, and any decisive break and close beneath the moving average would erase the already tight window for a Dogecoin impulse.

Momentum, in the analyst’s framing, is “so bearish that it’s screaming the end of the market cycle is near,” even though the monthly MACD has not crossed down yet. That lag on higher-timeframe oscillators leaves room for a “very little rally,” which in previous cycles still permitted outsized alt moves.

“In this bull market… every time we’ve bounced off the moving average, we’ve broken the prior high,” he said, making the conditional case that if the trend holds and Bitcoin reclaims the level into the weekly close, a final Dogecoin push remains possible. But he refused to extend the timeline beyond the near term: “I would argue that if we don’t actually go back up in November, it’s probably not happening.”

The calendar overlay is doing heavy lifting. VisionPulsed explored a scenario in which Dogecoin could peak in January, but stressed the math now strains credibility unless upside starts immediately. “Eighty-one days from now would be January… it’s starting to get to the point where it’s almost unachievable because you don’t want to keep stretching this out to January, February, March. At some point, you have to say it’s not happening.” The refusal to “move the goalposts” defines his base case: the bull thesis survives only if November prints a directional turn.

From a pattern perspective, he flagged a head-and-shoulders-like structure on Dogecoin and introduced a vivid downside marker he has used in prior updates. “That’s why this little pig is down here,” he said, referring to a graphic that labels a potential capitulation zone around $0.05 to $0.06.

If Bitcoin loses the weekly moving average and confirms the breakdown with a close, “the pig only is in play once Bitcoin is below that moving average,” and Dogecoin’s primary target would revert to “five to six cents.” On the Bitcoin side, he framed a bear-market base case of 40,000–50,000 on the assumption that both upside and downside retracements are shrinking versus prior cycles, implying “not 77%… you’d probably get 65% to 70%,” which would align with a mid-40k trough.

For Dogecoin specifically, he drew a clean decision tree. If Bitcoin reclaims $103,000–$104,000 into the weekly close and confirms above the moving average, the Dogecoin rally window reopens, with a shot at a late-Q4 to January run. If Bitcoin closes below roughly $102,000 and sustains weakness, “it’s bear market time,” Dogecoin likely gravitates to the “pig at 5 cents,” and “it might even break the pig honestly” depending on the severity of Bitcoin’s drawdown.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.16297.
