What’s new today (Nov. 11, 2025)
- Price action: DOGE pushed above a key $0.1815 level before reversing; CoinDesk flags a lower‑high setup and elevated volumes—tactically neutral heading into mid‑week.
- Comparative lens: A new Nasdaq/Motley Fool piece today says XRP is more likely than DOGE to be a “millionaire‑maker,” citing payments utility and evolving compliance rails—food for thought as meme‑coin narratives resurface. Nasdaq
- SHIB micro‑setup: Intraday SHIB commentary notes a short‑term bullish bias above a descending trendline but warns of overbought signals cooling—i.e., still range‑bound.
The $2.2 Dogecoin prediction—signal or sizzle?
A widely circulated TradingView/NewsBTC note revives the “third wave” idea: after long consolidations in 2017 and 2021, DOGE could be coiling for another parabolic run—an analyst projects a path to $2.2 (~+1,200%). Remember: this is one technician’s scenario built on historical analogs, not a guarantee. Use it as a scenario to stress‑test levels, not an investment thesis. TradingView
Tactical read for traders (today): CoinDesk’s market brief focuses on $0.1800 support and the $0.1835–$0.1840 band as near‑term pivot zones. Losing the floor risks a $0.1760 retest; clearing the band re‑opens $0.1860–$0.1880.
“Millionaire by 2026”? The math vs. the hype
A Motley Fool analysis syndicated on Nasdaq (Nov. 8) ran a sobering back‑of‑the‑envelope: to turn $10,000 into $1 million by end‑2026, DOGE needs a 100× move. From early‑November valuations (~$25B cap cited in the piece), that implies a multi‑trillion‑dollar DOGE—larger than Bitcoin’s value at the time—plus ultra‑loose liquidity conditions. The author’s verdict: “almost certainly won’t happen.” Nasdaq
Tokenomics reality check: DOGE issues ~5 billion new coins per year (predictable inflation that decays as a % over time), which means long‑term price needs demand growth to outpace issuance. SHIB’s supply is enormous (~589T units); even aggressive burns have, so far, been tiny relative to float. That’s why “$1 SHIB” or very high DOGE price targets demand extraordinary new capital and/or structural changes. Dogecoin+1
DOGE vs. SHIB: which looks better right now?
The Motley Fool’s “Better Buy” (Nov. 10) leans DOGE over SHIB under $1, citing broader recognition and simpler adoption. That said, neither has cash flows; both remain high‑beta sentiment plays that swing with Bitcoin and liquidity. Position sizing and risk controls matter more than tribal loyalty. sharewise.com
Price snapshot (approx., mid‑day): DOGE ≈ $0.178; SHIB ≈ $0.0000099. Momentum is fragile in both, with levels rather than narratives steering intraday setups.
ETFs, access, and mainstreaming
- What already exists: The REX‑Osprey Dogecoin ETF (ticker: DOJE) launched on Sept. 18, 2025, giving U.S. brokerage accounts a listed vehicle tied to spot DOGE exposure (it also uses other DOGE ETPs in its mix).
- What could come next:Bitwise filed Amendment No. 4 to its DOGE ETF S‑1 on Nov. 6, removing the “delaying amendment” and starting a 20‑day Section 8(a) clock—it could go effective in late November if the SEC does not object. Coverage across finance outlets has highlighted that timing nuance this week. Important: effectiveness ≠ guaranteed listing day; exchange approvals and operational steps still apply. SEC+1
Why this matters: Easier access tends to reduce friction for retail and advisors, but it doesn’t change tokenomics. In 2024–25, ETF adoption helped BTC/ETH widen distribution—DOGE and SHIB may benefit at the margin, but liquidity cycles and macro still drive the bus.
Real‑world usage note (still small but non‑zero)
Tesla continues to accept Dogecoin for select merchandise—a visibility boost for DOGE’s “internet money” narrative, though not a material fundamental driver by itself. Tesla
What to watch next
- Levels: For DOGE, $0.1800 (support) and ~$0.1840 (resistance) are today’s pivots; for SHIB, watch trendline holds and whether dips keep finding buyers above recent micro‑bases.
- ETF headlines: Any SEC response to Bitwise’s filing (or exchange listing notices) could swing sentiment fast.
- Macro/liquidity: If BTC regains upside momentum, meme‑beta often follows; if not, expect range trading and “fade the rip” behavior.
FAQs
Is a 1,200% run to $2.2 realistic?
It’s possible in theory (crypto can do wild things in euphoric phases), but it’s not the base case today. Treat it as a scenario to plan around—identify invalidation levels and manage risk if you trade it.
Could DOGE make me a millionaire by 2026?
The short answer from Nasdaq/Motley Fool: highly unlikely, given the market‑cap leap required in such a short time and DOGE’s ongoing issuance.
Which is “better,” DOGE or SHIB?
A Motley Fool comparison yesterday prefers DOGE at current levels—but both are speculative. Your decision should hinge on time horizon, risk budget, and thesis rather than price memes. sharewise.com
