Widely-followed cryptocurrency trader Bluntz said that Dogecoin's strongest move typically comes at the end of the cycle after Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has reached all-time highs.
"Legit from rock bottom to 30x in the space of a few weeks," the trader added. "Yes we have new flashy memes now, but writing Doge off as dead would be a huge mistake, imo."

Why It Matters: Several technical indicators flashed a bullish signal for Dogecoin, according to data from charting platform TradingView.
One of the most popular tools, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, flashed a buy signal.
The MACD is primarily used to gauge an asset’s overall trend. The crossover of the signal line and the MACD line gives trading signals.
Similarly, the Momentum Indicator, which compares the current price with the previous price from several periods ago, showed a positive value, indicating a bullish sentiment.
That said, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was still neutral as of this writing.
Additionally, DOGE's net exchange inflows dropped 63% in the last 24 hours, as per IntoTheBlock, potentially indicating a slowdown in sell pressure.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.1348, up 10.53% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
