In his newest Dogecoin-focused replace, VisionPulsed framed the setup much less as a clear technical inflection and extra as a well-recognized cycle sample: retail optimism fades slowly, the ultimate washout arrives when even perennial bulls lose their “combat,” and solely then does a sturdy low are inclined to type.
“Increasingly more individuals are beginning to get bearish and as soon as we lastly break this low I feel that’s going to be when everybody says it’s bearish nevertheless it’s going to be too late as a result of the underside might be going to be in quickly,” he mentioned. “So, the truth that there’s nonetheless folks approaching YouTube saying that it’s nonetheless bullish, it’s that we haven’t gone down low sufficient.”

Is The Dogecoin Bear Market Backside In?
VisionPulsed repeatedly returned to what he known as the market’s means to “run the identical play twice in a row,” arguing that the identical bearish indicators can persist as a result of every cycle brings a recent cohort that resists the concept the transfer is over. He additionally urged the inducement construction of crypto content material can reinforce that dynamic, with creators leaning bullish as a result of it sustains engagement, whilst broader circumstances deteriorate.
“The explanation I convey all this shenanigans in is as a result of the truth that there’s nonetheless folks which are nonetheless bullish reveals why the market can do the identical factor again and again,” he mentioned. “We’ve got the identical precise indicators and now as an alternative of me saying we’re bullish, there’s different YouTubers which are nonetheless bullish… people make the identical errors again and again.”
On timing, VisionPulsed pointed to momentum instruments — significantly the Stochastic RSI for Bitcoin on a number of timeframes (as a sign for all the crypto market), as a information for whether or not any countertrend rally is only a reset earlier than one other leg down. He warned towards overconfidence in extensively cited catalysts comparable to a CME hole, noting an identical setup appeared in Could 2022, and harassed that rallies repeatedly “fizzle out” when Stoch RSI reaches overbought territory.

He added that the emotional tone shift is usually the inform: “Don’t be stunned if lots of people say crypto’s over, crypto sucks… When that occurs, that’s the place the underside is.”
For Dogecoin particularly, VisionPulsed mentioned historic bottoms have tended to align with RSI reaching oversold circumstances, one thing he argues DOGE has not but hit within the present downswing. “We’re yet one more leg down away from hitting oversold,” he mentioned. “So, if I had been a betting man, I feel the subsequent transfer down… ought to take Doge to five cents.”
He repeatedly caveated that he’s not calling a precise backside, and allowed for situations the place a later macro shock produces a second low, just like the COVID-era sample he referenced. Nonetheless, his base case was that the correction is “in all probability virtually finished,” with a bigger rally anticipated after spring, whereas floating a a lot longer-dated view that Dogecoin’s “actual bull run” might start round July 2027.
For now, his message to DOGE merchants was easy: till momentum resets and sentiment totally breaks, the “bear market virtually over” narrative could also be untimely and the subsequent decisive transfer could possibly be the one which lastly forces capitulation.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.09345.
