- Historical trends and early December gains suggest a possible Santa rally, making DOGE a key holiday watch.
- Past December performance is mixed, so traders should remain cautious despite recent momentum.
This December, Dogecoin (DOGE) could experience a seasonal price lift as traders anticipate the possibility of a “Santa Claus rally” in the cryptocurrency market. As revealed in a CNF post from late November, Dogecoin is set to aim for a $1 milestone following a massive rally.
Typically observed in traditional financial markets, this rally refers to price increases during the last week of December and the first days of January. Interestingly, a community member stated on their X account that if Dogecoin hits $1 by December 3rd, they will give $5,000 worth of $DOGE to one lucky participant interacting with their post.

Historically, such rallies have occurred 76% of the time, sparking speculation that DOGE could follow suit. Given Dogecoin’s unique performance history in December, optimism is growing for a potential holiday surge.
Mixed Historical Performance
Dogecoin’s December track record shows mixed results, including dramatic gains and steep declines. Notable instances include a staggering 337.5% rise in 2017, a moderate rally of 32.4% in 2020, and a smaller increase of 7.01% last year. However, December 2022 saw a sharp decline of 34.7%, highlighting the meme coin’s unpredictability. Traders are now monitoring whether DOGE’s modest early December gains can lead to sustained growth.
A Meme Coin to Watch in December
While a Santa rally is not guaranteed, Dogecoin’s historical trends and recent gains position it as a cryptocurrency worth watching this holiday season. Investors are hopeful for some festive cheer as DOGE, still 75% below its all-time high, trades at $0.42.
Its notable 161.5% surge in November has attracted attention, fueling hopes for continued momentum. At the time of writing, according to CoinMarketCap, Dogecoin is trading at $0.4525, reflecting a 6.48% daily gain and a 6.85% weekly gain.
