Despite an annual inflation rateof roughly 3.49%, analysts confirm that the steady increase in supply is intentional and not a bug. This built-in inflation mechanism is designed to promote long-term stability and sustainability, making it a “feature” that keeps the Dogecoin networkthriving. Dogecoin’s Controlled Inflation Reinforces Stability
Crypto market expert and DogeOS supporter Jimmy has presenteda detailed technical analysis, shedding light on Dogecoin’s predictable and carefully structured inflation model. He referenced a former X social media post by SpaceX and Tesla Founder Elon Musk, who described Dogecoin’s inflation mechanism as “a feature, not a bug.” Related Reading Analyst Says Dogecoin Price Is Ready To Surge, But Buy DOGE Under These Levels 2 days ago
Jimmy explained that as of 2025, Dogecoin’s circulating supplystands at roughly 151.36 billion DOGE, with around 5 billion new coins entering circulation each year. These figures translate to an annual inflation rate of about 3.49%, a number expected to decline gradually as the total supply increases.
Unlike Bitcoin’s deflationary model, where supply is limited and block rewards decrease steadily with each halving event, Dogecoin’s fixed issuance model is designed to keep miners incentivized and the network secure for the long term. Moreover, the analyst noted that a flat or decreased inflation often encourages spending rather than hoarding. Source: Chart from Jimmy on X
Jimmy shared a detailed inflation projection chart, illustrating that Dogecoin’s inflation rate could begin a slow decline in 2026, dipping below 3% by 2030. The downward trend is expected to continue, with inflation falling under 2.7% by 2032 and reaching a “steady equilibrium zone” just below 2.48% by 2035. This gradual decrease suggests that Dogecoin could become increasingly stable over time, supported by a predictable, transparent supply growth model that is easy to track. Analyst Claims DOGE Price Has Printed A Bull Flag
While Dogecoin’s inflation dynamics indicate long-term stability, technical analysts are spotting bullish short-term signals for its price action. Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade recently shareda 4-hour chart suggesting that DOGE has formed a classic “ Bull Flag” pattern following its rebound from the $0.013 crash level during the October 10 liquidation event.

The current consolidation channel, bounded between roughly $0.18 and $0.21, represents the flag part of the bullish pattern. According to the analyst, if the Bull Flag plays out as expected, Dogecoin could be targeting new price levels around $0.43—a breakout that could quadruple its current value.
Notably, crypto analyst Ali Martinez weighed inon Trader Tardigrade’s Bull Flag chart, notingthat the pattern remains debatable since its flagpole was formed by the recent flash crash. Despite this, Martinez highlighted$0.18 as the key level to watch. If Dogecoin manages to stay above this area, He predicts that it could pave the way for a move toward $0.25, and potentially $0.33 if momentum persists.
