Dogecoin’s Alt-Season Pattern
Technical analysis of The movement of Dogecoin on the weekly candlestick chart shows that the king of meme coins has been growing more and more during the altcoin boom, with the meetings of 2017 and 2021 being the basis of the latest predictions. The weekly chart tracks the price of Dogecoin on several markets, starting from the first years of DOGE trading and reaching the window of the regular season expected in 2026.
The season of 2017 was characterized by Dogecoin’s rally from the bottom to move almost 100x which eventually reached $0.018.
Interestingly, the 2021 alt season produced a bigger move than 2017. The Marks chart shows a rise of more than 300x, taking Dogecoin from the lows it circled to the $0.70 area. The meeting turned Dogecoin from an internet joke into one of the largest cryptocurrencies with market capitalization and a dedicated group of investors and developers.

Dogecoin case for $20
Every round, the DOGE has arrived new higher than previous: $0.0025 in 2017, $0.069 in 2018, $0.017 in 2020, and $0.74 in 2021. Marks’ opinion is that if Dogecoin’s Alt-season behavior continues to exceed its past behavior, then the next rally may be greater than lastly, placing a move of 300x or more on the table. Its expected price point of more than $20 comes from using a 300x multiplier on current prices.
The $20 Dogecoin price is not a long-term target. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.081, which means it would need to move about 247x to reach $20. Javon Marks’ target position is very high, the trend seen points to a move above $24.
For this to happen, Dogecoin needs to recover the levels it lost earlier, like the current price weakness has become from 2022. Before any major discussion of the Dogecoin digital currency, the meme coin should return to $0.10, then push the main resistance areas around $0.20, $0.30, and finally it will pass the resistance of December 2024 $0.49 before moving to the old $0.613 level of $0.73.

The entire altcoin market should also enter a very strong phase, as Marks calls bound to alt weather. This means that what happens depends on the amount of Bitcoin capital. Interestingly, $20 Dogecoin would mean a market capitalization of around $3 trillion, based on the volume of approximately 154.5 billion DOGE tokens as of June 2026.
