A widely followed analyst is optimistic about the largest memecoin by market cap as the crypto markets explode. Pseudonymous crypto trader Kaleo tells his 601,800 followers on the social media platform X that the “real” Dogecoin (DOGE) rally is likely to kick off late next year. According to Kaleo, Dogecoin could record rallies of up to 162% from the current level. “Here’s my playbook for DOGE: Sometime in the next week or two, Dogecoin finally starts to move.

It’ll be a fast move… maybe churn a bit higher from there, but as much as I’d love for it to go to $1+, I honestly don’t see it getting too much past $0.20 on this rally.” Source: Kaleo/X From Kaleo’s charts outlining the possible price action next year, the trader is forecasting Dogecoin t
