Dash Price Forecast: Why DASH Could Hit $100 Soon

Highlights:

• Dash is consolidating between the $85.75 resistance and $74.17 support
• Rally through $85.75 could send Dash to $100 short-term
• Growing adoption likely to send Dash upword

Dash (DASH) is one of the top 100 cryptocurrencies in the green on a day that most are in the red. At the time of going to press, DASH was trading at $81.29, up by 10.93% in the day. At the same time, Dash trading volumes are surging intraday. They are up by 60.66% in the day to stand at $858.50 million. 

This concurrent surge in trading volume alongside the price is a strong indicator that buyers are stepping in, expecting DASH to do even better. A couple of factors support the continuation of Dash’s momentum in the short to medium term. 

Dash Breaks A Critical Long-Term Resistance Level

One of them is the technical price action that many analysts say points to more gains. Multiple technical analysts have noted that Dash has broken above the 200-day MA after a long time. This push through a critical moving average could trigger FOMO and send the price to new highs in the short to medium term.

Dash is already showing strength since pushing through the 200-MA. The fact that multiple influential analysts are pointing to this break as a key buy signal for DASH is likely to keep attracting retail FOMO.

Something feels off with $DASH… in a good way.

Price refuses to crack. Sellers keep trying nothing sticks.
That kind of tension doesn’t last long.

When charts get this quiet, the move that follows is usually violent.

Dash Growing Real-World Adoption Adds to Upside Momentum

Dash is also benefiting from the rise in real-world adoption. Unlike the average altcoin, which relies on hype for value growth, DASH has real-world use. Now this adoption is about to get a major boost after the recent integration of Dash with Alchemy Pay. Alchemy is one of the world’s top fiat-to-crypto payment gateways and has a presence in more than 140 countries. The impact is already evident in the price action.

Dash rallied by over 40% when the deal was announced. As the impact of the integration becomes apparent in terms of real-world use, Dash could be headed to even higher prices in the short to medium term.

At the same time, Dash now has access to over 50 million users thanks to its integration with AEON Pay. This expansion is so massive that some analysts are pointing to DASH moving away from a privacy coin to a complete digital payment solution. This is likely to see Dash rally to new highs in the short- to medium-term.

DASH Price Could Hit $100 as FOMO Around Privacy Coins Increases

Dash also stands to benefit from the ongoing FOMO around privacy coins. Despite the ups and downs of the market in the first few weeks of 2025, momentum around privacy coins remains strong. With all the adoption Dash is seeing, this FOMO could benefit it more than the many other privacy coins that currently dominate the market.

The result is that as this excitement remains strong, Dash could be headed to new highs within the foreseeable future. Already, the number of active Dash addresses is on the rise, along with transaction volume. It is a strong indicator of Dash’s strong underlying momentum. 

Technical Analysis – Dash Consolidating After Recent Breakout

After the recent bullish price breakout, Dash is entering a consolidation phase. It is currently consolidating between $85.75 resistance and $74.17 support. If bulls take control and push Dash through the $85.75 resistance, a short-term rally to $121.18. 

On the other hand, if Dash loses momentum and drops through the $74.17 support, a correction to $36.63 in the short term. Of these two scenarios, the odds are higher that a rally to $121.18 will occur. That’s because the privacy coin market is attracting most investor attention at the moment, and Dash is one of the best-known ones.
