Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.22 with a 1% loss today, 0.8% loss this week, and 12.7% this month. It’s one of the few top ten cryptocurrencies in the red on Tuesday, while most other projects are stabilizing.
However, it seems that smart money isn’t too worried – a top analyst has tipped Dogecoin for a 40% rally in the coming weeks, dismissing its recent volatility as “consolidation.”
Meanwhile, as Dogecoin struggles, a new Dogecoin-themed meme coin called Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is quietly gaining traction and is expected to become the next meme coin to explode.
Presented as a gym bro version of Dogecoin, Maxi Doge is the all-or-nothing degen addicted to 1,000x leveraged trading and caffeine.
Dogecoin was launched in 2013, making him 60 years old in dog years. Maxi Doge is the younger, fresher, more ambitious alternative. Think hustle culture mixed with Bradley Martin and Steve Will Do It – that’s who Maxi Doge is.
The project is undergoing a presale and recently hit the $1 million raised mark, triggering a bigger wave of interest and hype among investors. Could this become the next meme coin to explode in 2025?
Maxi presale surges as Dogecoin chart signals dip reversal
Dogecoin’s price has dropped from a high of $0.29 in late July to $0.22 today, but a top trader believes this is just a temporary pullback before a return to range highs. Ali Martinez, known as Ali_Charts on X, observed that $DOGE is currently consolidating within a triangle, but he suggests this could lead to a 40% rally toward $0.3.

Martinez also mentioned on Monday that the TD Sequential indicator flashes a buy signal on Dogecoin, adding confluence to his bullish forecast. The chart also shows that the indicator correctly predicted the recent decline, highlighting its accuracy in forecasting short-term price movements.
Looking at a higher time frame, analyst Surf predicts Dogecoin could reach $1 this year, noting that it continues to hold a major support trendline despite the recent dip. The analyst even states that hitting $1 would be “easy.”

As experts anticipate a $DOGE recovery, traders have been pouring into Maxi Doge. It appears they’re buying knowing that Dogecoin’s bounce could trigger bigger gains across the meme coin market.
Reaching the $1 million fundraising mark is a key milestone for the Maxi Doge presale. It’s a psychological barrier that, once broken, boosts social proof and credibility, and that encourages more investors to join.
With that, it’s likely that the presale momentum will only intensify in the weeks ahead.
Dogecoin to $1 but Maxi Doge to the moon, says analyst
99Bitcoins analyst Umar Khan echoed the predictions of Ali Martinez and Surf, suggesting that $0.3 is the first key price target for Dogecoin’s recovery, but forecasts that Dogecoin could reach $1 later this year.
From its current price level of $0.22, this leaves room for a 354% gain. Indeed, if you’re an S&P 500 investor, that would be an unfathomable return (it’d realistically take 20-30 years to achieve). But if you’re a crypto degen hoping to turn a few thousand dollars into Lambo money this year, it’s probably not the kind of gain you’re aiming for.
This is why Umar Khan, along with many other investors, is backing Maxi Doge. The project is tied to Dogecoin but also offers a much lower entry cost, leaving huge room for growth.
Khan presents $MAXI as a higher-upside Dogecoin alternative and suggests in numerous videos that it could give up to 100x (10,000%) once it lists on exchanges.
Maxi Doge ready to pump – don’t miss the presale
Dogecoin has dipped recently, but remains in a higher-time-frame uptrend. Analysts have noticed this and expect a sharp reversal in the coming weeks.
But instead of buying Dogecoin itself, hungry traders are betting on Maxi Doge, the larger and louder version of Dogecoin that has just launched. Such early-stage opportunities are often when the biggest returns are secured in meme coins – the kind realized long ago in projects that are 60 dog years old.
However, for investors thinking about joining the Maxi Doge presale, it’s best to act quickly. That’s because the price will increase with each new round, and the next begins in just two days.
