đ„đ„ Can Dogecoin Reach $1?
This year has been a positive one for the overall cryptocurrency market. The industry's value, now at about $2.2 trillion, has climbed 29% since the start of 2024. However, that favorable backdrop hasn't benefited all digital assets like you might imagine.
Just look at Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE). It's up an unremarkable 20% on the year, underperforming the market. As of this writing, this speculative cryptocurrency trades at about 85% off its all-time high, a milestone that was achieved in May 2021.
But the bulls have their sights on a lofty target. Can Dogecoin soar roughly nine-fold to reach $1 one day?
Unpredictable hype cycles
The market went for meme stocks in a big way in the spring of 2021. This excitement trickled over to the cryptocurrency market as well. In May of that year was when Dogecoin hit its peak price, thanks to bullish support of the dog-themed token.
But that positive sentiment can quickly turn on a dime, and this is precisely what happened. This isn't a surprise when you understand that investor behavior toward something like Dogecoin is driven more by speculation than by anything related to the fundamentals.
In the past, Dogecoin has also experienced positive momentum as well-known supporters, like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban, have publicly mentioned the crypto. Some people are still hoping that Tesla founder and Chief Executive Officer Musk, who also owns X (formerly called Twitter), will integrate Dogecoin as a payment mechanism on the social media site.
Dogecoin's boom-and-bust cycle even continued into this year. The crypto was up a whopping 144% from the start of 2024 to April 1. However, it has tanked more than 50% since then. It's not hard to see that Dogecoin will continue to have these wild price swings. These movements are unpredictable, which makes owning this token something that's not for the faint of heart.
