Dogecoin Poised for January Surge, But Will It Follow Ethereum’s Lead?

Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the most well-known meme cryptocurrencies, could be heading for a significant surge in January, with predictions suggesting a potential 91% rally.
Historical data from CryptoRank reveals that the average return for DOGE in January has been 91.5% over the past decade. The most remarkable January for the token occurred in 2021, when it saw a staggering 711.5% increase.
However, the following years have been less fruitful, with two declines and a 37.2% rise in 2023.
Looking at the broader picture, only five out of eleven Januarys have ended with positive returns, and current statistics suggest a greater likelihood of a downturn for DOGE this January. The median return for the token stands at -7.95%, signaling mixed prospects for the coming month.

On the other hand, Ethereum’s performance and other top altcoins suggest a potential altcoin rally, which could support DOGE’s growth. Ethereum, for example, has shown consistent positive returns from January to May, with its lowest median return being 12.1%.
If Ethereum sparks an altseason, Dogecoin could see extended growth, but for now, all eyes will be on how January plays out.
