A popular analyst anticipated a further decline in Dogecoin’s (CRYPTO: DOGE) value on Tuesday amid the broader slump that rocked the cryptocurrency market.
What Happened: Kevin, known for sharing insights and forecasting price movements for the king of meme coins, expressed a bearish outlook in an X post.
“If BTC doesn’t bounce, then this probably has lower to go before finding a bottom,” the analyst cautioned, linking DOGE’s destiny with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
Kevin had previously indicated that DOGE was “not in control of itself,” and its fate lies “purely in Bitcoin’s hands.”

On similar lines, More Crypto Online, a widely followed X account dedicated to cryptocurrency technical analysis, projected DOGE to slip to $0.30 after the price dipped below a key support level.
“I would therefore not be surprised if the price drops back to 30 cents before making another attempt to rally. In this case, I would view it as an opportunity,” More Crypto Online said, sensing a chance to buy the dip.
Why It Matters: These predictions coincided with sell-offs by DOGE’s long-term holders. According to IntoTheBlock, DOGE holdings of “Diamond Hands” dropped by 0.88% in the last 24 hours, contrasting with increases in Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Tron (CRYPTO: TRX) holdings.
That said, the popular Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages to assess the momentum of the asset, indicated a ‘Buy’ signal, according to TradingView.
Dogecoin could have a historic 2025, with a top analyst from Galaxy Research predicting that the largest meme coin would surpass $1 for the first time this year.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.3551, down 9.33% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Year-to-date, the coin was up 12.50%, compared to nearly 273% in gains in 2024.
