Quick Facts:
- 1⃣ US President Donald Trump’s China tariff threat upended what the market expected to be a bullish Uptober.
- 2⃣ Dogecoin has been one of the biggest casualties of this recent downturn. So we asked Gemini AI how it will fare in the foreseeable future.
- 3⃣ Maxi Doge, a new dog token, continues to pump on presale, looking like the next big hit with meme coin degens.
While Uptober opened Q3 2025 with the expected uptrend across the crypto market, it collapsed in grand fashion the following week after US President Donald Trump threatened a new round of tariffs on China.
Among the biggest casualties was Dogecoin ($DOGE), which went from trading above $0.26 at the beginning of October to just $0.19 at the moment.
Is this the end for Dogecoin and the market’s top meme coins, or are there exciting surprises just around the corner? We asked Gemini AI what it thinks, which should give us a nice contrast to what Grok AI predicted for $DOGE just two weeks ago.
Plus, we’ll give you a look at Maxi Doge ($DOGE), the Shiba Inu that’s looking to dethrone its distant cousin Doge as the top meme coin.
The Future is Bullish for Dogecoin
There’s no denying that we’re in the middle of a volatile market at the moment. Trump’s China tariff threats upended the market’s Uptober expectations. This drove institutional capital out of risk assets like $DOGE and into safer bets.
Because of this, Gemini predicts that the next seven days will continue to be highly volatile, affecting $DOGE and other similar altcoins.
At the moment, Google’s AI sees $DOGE bottoming out at around $0.20 this week.
But at the same time, it hasn’t completely ruled out the power of Elon Musk to pump the coin’s price, which could push it to the $0.35 territory. Indeed, Musk has mentioned is dog Floki again on October 20, so the hype is fresh.
The $0.35 scenario is unlikely in the near future, but considering that $FLOKI rose by nearly 6% today after Musk’s tweet is proof of the Tesla CEO’s hold on the meme coin community.
Things could get better in the coming months for $DOGE, as Gemini is banking on the possibility that the market will go up as it has historically towards the end of the year.
With this information in mind, the AI assistant sees the coin hitting $0.25 at the low end and about $0.40 around the next six months.
Maxi Doge ($MAXI): Ready to Outpace Dogecoin?
While Gemini remains bullish about Dogecoin as the premier meme coin, it’s no longer the game in town. Sure, a lot have failed to topple it from its throne, but one of its distant cousins is bent on succeeding.
It’s called Maxi Doge ($DOGE). Unlike Doge’s friendly vibe, Maxi is the degen of the family, who made it his mission in life to chase after max gains, 1000x leverage, green candles, and his mom’s approval.
All this while chugging unholy amounts of energy drinks and skipping sleep unless necessary.
But while he adores his mom so much, she denied his request for a marketing budget to fund his quest for dominance. Thus, the Maxi Doge token presale was born.
There’s no going halfway for Maxi, so he’s going all in, creating a total supply of 150,240,000,000 $MAXI tokens. A bulk of this naturally goes to marketing, which makes up 40% of the supply.

The hard work and all the sleepless nights are paying off by the looks of it. Fellow degens have heard Maxi’s call and poured over $3.7M into the project — and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Growing presale momentum and standout meme branding give Maxi Doge what it needs to shine in late 2025, potentially becoming the next 1,000 meme coin, with a forecasted $MAXI price of $0.0058 in 2026.

The Maxi Doge Presale Is Still Ongoing
The Maxi Doge presale gives early buyers cheap entry prices and additional staking rewards, currently with 82% APY. This is well beyond what listed altcoins with staking pools would ever give you.
If you want to be a part of this rise to the top of the meme coin market, you can still get tokens for a very affordable $0.000264 each today.
The next presale price increase happens in less than two days. Staking rewards are also dynamic and bound to go down as more investors lock their tokens.
The growing presale is only the beginning of exciting things for Maxi Doge; the roadmap has plenty more left.
With DEX and CEX listings and even futures platform partnerships coming next, Maxi wants to prove that it isn’t just an all-bark-and-no-bite Shiba Inu.
Maxi will also roll out holder-only trading tournaments to build and support its community in the long run, giving investors the incentives they need to engage and stick around.
Considering the current volatility in the market, Maxi Doge only shows that there are a few things we can continue to count on: opportunists buying dips and degens remaining bullish amid the chaos.
Get $MAXI before the next price increase.
