It should be like that: What is expected from Doge is to reach its latest ATH so that there is confidence from its community that it can reach a higher level and not just $1.
You are right, there is always a trigger for the increase in doge. What is clear at this time is the influence of bitcoin, and it must be remembered that the community still believes that Elon will do something to doge so that it can increase sharply this year, and we are waiting for that.
I assume $1 is a very high price for Doge. If community expects more, it seems like being too greedy. Even it reaches $0.8, I think it is already an impressive achievement for Doge. We must remember that Doge is a meme coin only which has no clear fundamental. We are lucky that Doge can have a good price. Since Elon Musk tried to improve the price of Doge, Doge becomes the top meme coin until now.
What you said could be true that $1 is very high for doge, but it must be remembered that doge has a very large community and, until now, continues to try to do anything to achieve it., The first of course, is to be able to reach its ATH first before thinking about reaching a higher level.
According to my assumption, if bitcoin this year can reach a very high level, it is not impossible that doge will be able to achieve it, especially after the inauguration and Elon continues to push doge to be better known. Of course, there will be a difference, and we just have to wait.
