Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Prediction: Will History Repeat Itself and Send DOGE Soaring in Q3 2025?

Dogecoin (DOGE), the world's foremost meme coin, is on track to complete its most bearish first quarter in seven years

Dogecoin (DOGE), the world’s foremost meme coin, is poised to register its most bearish first quarter in seven years, with an estimated quarterly loss of around 46%.

This downturn has sparked speculation that Dogecoin may be replicating its 2018 price action, which saw it not only record its worst Q1 loss ever but also experience a stellar Q3 recovery from the year’s lows.

Dogecoin’s performance in 2024. The meme coin is currently on track for its worst Q1 performance since 2018.

According to data from CryptoRank, Dogecoin’s performance in Q1 2025 marks a significant departure from previous years. The last time DOGE recorded a Q1 loss was in 2022, but that was a relatively modest decline of 6.8%. In contrast, 2023 saw a gain of nearly 10%, and 2024 recorded an astonishing 147% increase during the same period.

Many market participants started the year with high hopes for Dogecoin, as several analysts anticipated 2025 to mark the peak of its bull run. However, the price movement has yet to align with these optimistic projections.

In January, DOGE closed with a minor gain of 4%. But February saw the meme coin plummet by 38.5%, and March has so far added to the losses with a 17.5% decline. This brings the total estimated loss for Q1 2025 to around 46%.

Could Dogecoin Be Replicating 2018 Price Action?

Historically, 2018 was the only year when Dogecoin recorded a worse Q1 performance, with a staggering loss of 68.8%. If DOGE follows the same pattern, it could experience a further downturn in Q2, similar to the 11.5% loss seen in Q2 2018.

However, a silver lining remains—Dogecoin rebounded with an impressive 138% gain in Q3 of 2018. If history repeats itself, we could see a significant resurgence in Q3 of 2025, potentially erasing Q1 and Q2 losses.

Crypto analysts are divided on whether Dogecoin will follow its historical trajectory. Some expect to see a continuation of the bear market, while others believe a strong rally is still possible later this year.

Dogecoin Price Analysis: Key Support and Resistance Levels

Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently noted that Dogecoin continues to hold above the lower boundary of an ascending channel, which has been in place since 2015.

As seen in the chart below, Martinez highlighted that if demand spikes at the current level, DOGE could rally toward the mid or upper range of the channel. His chart analysis suggests that the mid-range target sits at $4, while the upper boundary extends beyond $7.

Analyst Trader Tardigrade suggests that Dogecoin may have already found its bottom amid the recent market crash. He speculates that DOGE could follow historical fractals from September 2024, potentially leading to a bullish reversal.

Another respected analyst, Mater Kenobi, supports this view, stating that DOGE could break out again in a manner similar to its September 2024 movement, which saw it surge from $0.36 to $0.76.
