Dogecoin Charts Textbook Cup And Handle: Macro Target Stuns At $2.31

Dogecoin’s weekly chart is flashing one of technical analysis’ most recognizable continuation structures, with crypto analyst badger (@badger0102) mapping a potential macro cup-and-handle that spans the entire 2021–2025 cycle and projects upside far beyond prior peaks. “DOGE 1W – Potential macro cup and handle forming,” the trader wrote alongside a TradingView screenshot of DOGE/USD (Binance). At the time of the chart, price printed around $0.2268, sitting squarely between the 0.50 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracements of the measured move.

Dogecoin Cup And Handle Signals Explosive Potential

The “cup” portion traces a multi-year basing arc from the euphoric 2021 blow-off through a prolonged decline into the 2022–2023 trough and a rounded recovery that accelerated in 2024. That left rim is defined by the 2021 distribution area and a dashed, falling trendline that guided price lower until being conclusively broken during the 2024 advance.

The low of the base aligns with the 0.00 Fibonacci anchor near $0.0491, while the right rim formed during the Q1–Q2 2025 thrust that stalled just beneath the 0.786 retracement at ~$0.4181 and ahead of the 0.886 at ~$0.5490, marking the structural “lip” of the cup.

Following that surge, DOGE carved a classic “handle” pullback into mid-2025, bottoming in the $0.14 region—neatly bracketing the 0.382 retracement at ~$0.1391—before pivoting higher. The rebound has since reclaimed the 0.50 at ~$0.1919 and is pressing toward the 0.618 at ~$0.2646, the first key level bulls must clear to maintain the handle’s constructive geometry. As drawn, the handle’s depth remains proportionate (approximately a 38–50% retrace of the right-rim advance), preserving the pattern’s validity on a weekly timeframe.

The chart lays out an orderly ladder of resistances and targets should momentum persist. Above $0.2646 (0.618), the structure’s neckline/rim zone emerges between the mid-$0.30s and low-$0.40s, capped by the 0.786 at ~$0.4181.

A weekly close through that band would constitute the textbook cup-and-handle breakout and opens measured-move and extension objectives higher up the stack: 0.886 at ~$0.5490, the 1.000 extension near ~$0.7488, and the 1.128 at ~$1.0611. The chart’s focal marker is a highlighted circle at the **1.414 Fibonacci extension—approximately $2.3119—framed as the macro target if the pattern completes and trends extend.

On the downside, the handle’s structure provides a clear invalidation map. Immediate support rests at the 0.50 ($~0.1919), followed by $~0.1391 (0.382) and $~0.0934 (0.236). A sustained loss of the handle low in the mid-$0.15s would undercut the pattern, risking a return toward the deep-base band above $0.05 anchored at $0.0491.

Contextually, the multi-year rounding base underscores a significant shift from distribution to accumulation, evidenced by the break of the long dashed downtrend drawn from the 2021 high through 2022–2023. The right-side advance and orderly handle retracement fit the classic momentum-pause-continuation sequence technicians look for on higher-timeframe charts.

Confirmation, however, remains conditional on follow-through: bulls need to absorb supply into $0.26–$0.27, attack the $0.35–$0.42 rim, and then register a weekly breakout with expanding range to activate the upper Fibonacci targets.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.225.
