The Dogecoin price has not quite been able to replicate its late-2024 form so far in 2025, trading below the $0.2 level for most parts of the year. After a somewhat rough start to the month of June, the meme coin appears to be recovering nicely, jumping above $0.18 on Friday, June 6.
Interestingly, the Dogecoin price seems to only be at the start of what is expected to be an extended upward rally. According to a blockchain firm CEO, the “king of meme coins” is about to witness a price explosion.
In a June 6 post on the social media platform X, Alphractal CEO and founder Joao Wedson offered on-chain insights into why the Dogecoin price could be perfectly positioned to embark on a parabolic run. The crypto expert provided four reasons why investors should watch out for the DOGE token.
Firstly, the 500-day Aggregated Liquidation Level reveals that a large amount of liquidity ($350 million) was trapped around the $0.5 level the last time the DOGE price experienced a major correction. According to Wedson, the Dogecoin price tends to surge months after shorts pile up.
Wedson also highlighted that the price of Dogecoin against Bitcoin is closing in on a crucial technical level. As shown in the chart below, the DOGE/BTC is almost at a historical support — one which served as a bullish springboard to new highs in the 2021 cycle, with the meme token outperforming Bitcoin.

Finally, Wedson mentioned that the total meme coin market capitalization is far larger than in 2021, while the open interest is still at extremely low levels ($3.2 billion), and the daily volume is just around $12 billion. The low open interest suggests that the meme coin market condition is not overheated yet, with room for further upside growth.
As of this writing, the price of DOGE sits just beneath $0.18, reflecting a nearly 5% increase in the past 24 hours. This daily price action has done little to remedy the altcoin’s performance on the weekly timeframe. According to data from CoinGecko, the meme coin is down by more than 10% in the last seven days.
