Trader Notes: Crypto trader Javon Marks <a href="https://x.com/JavonTM1/status/1894469317825040558">believes</a> that the recent pullback doesn't alter Dogecoin's historical price cycles. 
He sees DOGE still in its third bull cycle, with a move beyond its all-time high of $0.73905—implying a 252% surge from current levels.
Trader Tardigrade compares DOGE's price action to the 2017-2018 bull run, indicating it could be setting up for its next explosive move.

Statistics: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1894676276541051284">points</a> out that long-term DOGE holders are in denial, suggesting the holders may be refusing to accept that the meme coin is underperforming relative to other assets or that its long-term potential has diminished.
It implies that they are holding onto DOGE in expectations of a rebound as they dismiss negative news or fundamental concerns.
Martinez also pointed out that DOGE network activity has collapsed by 95%, plunging from 2.66 million active addresses in November 2024 to just 130,282 currently.

Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers.
