Highlights:
- Raoul Pal predicts Dogecoin’s next major rally, fueled by growing investor confidence in meme coins.
- Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E. department and plans to improve efficiency boost Dogecoin’s market optimism.

In a recent X post, Real Vision CEO and Founder Raoul Pal said that Dogecoin (DOGE) is gearing up for its next major run. DOGE price continued its upward trend on Friday, highlighting investors’ growing confidence in top meme coins. In the “Great Banana Rotation,” Pal predicted a rally for DOGE and Sui (SUI).
I think next in the Great Banana Rotation is $SUI and $DOGE and probably that token that you hold too

Pal introduced the “Banana Zone” months ago, describing it as a market phase of consistent price increases. He recommended patience during this time and emphasized holding top assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, which help minimize risk amid market volatility. For higher risk-tolerant investors, Pal recommended allocating a small portion to emerging tokens like SUI or meme coins like DOGE. Still, he emphasized keeping 90% in established cryptocurrencies to safeguard long-term portfolio value.
Elon Musk’s Role in D.O.G.E. Sparks Dogecoin Price Rally
The DOGE price rally is also fueled by Elon Musk’s focus on improving the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). Donald Trump appointed Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the department, boosting market optimism. The department’s abbreviation, D.O.G.E., closely mirrors Dogecoin’s ticker, adding to the crypto’s price surge. Musk has long supported the meme coin, with his social media remarks drawing attention from traders.
Musk and Ramaswamy have outlined plans to improve the department’s efficacy. They aim to end remote work at federal offices. A recent WSJ report states that this move is meant to reduce government spending. The entrepreneurs believe that ending remote work would cause mass resignations. This would help them create a smaller, more efficient government.

DOGE price rose by over 2%, reaching $0.3924 today, with a trading volume of $8.85 billion. Dogecoin Futures Open Interest increased by nearly 10%, showing strong market confidence. On-chain metrics and market trends suggest that Dogecoin could continue its parabolic rise, joining SHIB and other meme coins.

Analyst Ali Martinez has also shared a bullish outlook for DOGE’s price. Martinez recently highlighted increased Dogecoin whale activity, signaling a potential rally. His X post revealed that whales accumulated over 550 million DOGE in the past week, worth approximately $214.5 million. The analyst also shared a DOGE price chart, suggesting the crypto could reach $2.40 soon. He further predicted that once DOGE hits $2.40, the next target could be $18, fueling market optimism.

Trader DonAlt recently posted on X, suggesting that Dogecoin could experience another wave of growth. This prediction is based on the previous price movement, where DOGE rose from $0.11 in October to $0.40 by mid-November.
DonAlt believes if the next price surge follows a similar pattern, Dogecoin could surpass the $1 mark. Moreover, crypto analyst Dima James Potts suggests that Dogecoin’s market top is nearer than expected based on price trends similar to past cycle peaks.
