Dogecoin – Why history suggests holders can expect 2 more years of pain

Dogecoin [DOGE], at the time of writing, was trading at a key structural and technical level. According to AMBCrypto, the leading memecoin was trading at a rare historical discount, potentially building a long-term base before the next rebound.

The “number of days spent at profit” on-chain metric, which measures the number of historical trading days that traded above the press time price, was 1100. This was an all-time high, which meant that a large chunk of DOGE holders were underwater.

Conditions like these emerge during late-stage corrections. It may be indicative of a large overhead supply and plenty of long-term DOGE bag holders. The structural cycle metric did not seem to warn of an imminent market bottom either.

The Dogecoin Hodler Net Position Change metric measures the monthly position change of long-term investors, or hodlers. Negative readings show investors cashing out, and positive changes indicate Hodlers were buying.

During the 2021 rally and the late 2024 rally, we did see sizeable chunks of DOGE sold during the cycle tops. The clearest examples were April-May 2021, October-November 2021, and November-December 2021.

It appeared that long-term investors were eager to book profits, and many successfully recognized overextended Dogecoin market conditions.

At the same time, the Hodler buying activity during periods such as July-October 2021 (DOGE traded between $0.195-$0.340), and April-October 2024 (DOGE traded between $0.095-$0.170) contributed to why holders were underwater.

The biggest reason was also the consistent buying since January 2025. The bullish expectations of Bitcoin [BTC] came undone in October 2025, and DOGE has also been trending south in recent months.

The steady buying over the past year, when DOGE fell from $0.35 to $0.092, explained the unprecedented Number of Days Spent at a Profit milestone covered previously.

The MVRV pricing bands use the market value to realized value ratios to understand if the memecoin market is in extreme unrealized profit (high values indicating cycle tops) or extreme unrealized loss (low values indicating cycle bottoms).

During the previous two cycles, Dogecoin traded around and below the 0.8RP (0.8x realized price) for two years before it climbed back above the realized price support.

If history repeats itself, DOGE might need two more years of a long-term downtrend before it can convincingly recapture the realized price level as support. At the time of writing, this level was at $0.140.


Final Summary

  • Dogecoin’s rally in late 2024 sparked a run of consistent Hodler buying over the past year, even as prices descended into a downtrend.
  • MVRV pricing bands revealed that DOGE was extremely discounted, but the long-term downtrend might continue for another year or more.

The Best Crypto Presale in 2025? Solana and ADA Struggle, but Lyno AI Surges With Growing Momentum

The Best Crypto Presale in 2025? Solana and ADA Struggle, but Lyno AI Surges With Growing Momentum

The post The Best Crypto Presale in 2025? Solana and ADA Struggle, but Lyno AI Surges With Growing Momentum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With the development of 2025, certain large cryptocurrencies encounter continuous issues and a new player secures an impressive advantage. Solana is struggling with congestion, and the ADA of Cardano is still at a significantly lower level than its highest price. In the meantime, Lyno AI presale is gaining momentum, attracting a large number of investors. Solana Faces Setbacks Amid Market Pressure However, despite the hype surrounding ETFs, Solana fell by 7% to $ 203, due to the constant congestion problems that hamper its network functionality. This makes adoption slow and aggravates traders who want to get things done quickly. Recent upgrades should combat those issues but the competition is rising, and Solana continues to lag in terms of user adoption and ecosystem development. Cardano Struggles to Regain Momentum ADA, the token of a Cardano, costs 72% less than the 2021 high and is developing more slowly than Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. The adoption of the coin is not making any progress despite the good forecasts. Analysts believe that the road to regain the past heights is long before Cardano can go back, with more technological advancements getting more and more attention. Lyno AI’s Explosive Presale Growth In stark contrast, Lyno AI is currently in its Early Bird presale, in which tokens are sold at 0.05 per unit and have already sold 632,398 tokens and raised 31,462 dollars. The next stage price will be established at $0.055 and the final target will be at $0.10. Audited by Cyberscope , Lyno AI provides a cross-chain AI arbitrage platform that enables retail traders to compete with institutions. Its AI algorithms perform trades in 15+ blockchains in real time, opening profitable arbitrage opportunities to everyone.
