Dogecoin ($DOGE) had an impressive start to the year, boosted by the overall revival of the meme coin sector. Its price has soared 21% over the past week, sparking hopes among bulls that a new all-time high can be reached in 2026.
We delved deeper and asked four of the most widely used AI-powered chatbots whether such a rally is possible.
‘Extraordinary Catalysts’ Would be Required
As of this moment, $DOGE trades just below $0.15, meaning it needs a 430% rally to surpass its historical record of approximately $0.74 set in the spring of 2021. According to ChatGPT, such a pump in the next 12 months is possible yet far from certain.
It noted that Dogecoin remains the most recognizable meme coin, with deep liquidity across major exchanges, making it a natural target when hype picks up. The chatbot also added that the token is heavily influenced by the broader crypto market, suggesting its performance is often impacted by Bitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and other leaders.
“If $BTC and $ETH reach new highs and retail enthusiasm returns, $DOGE often outperforms due to its speculative nature.”
In conclusion, ChatGPT set the odds of a new $ATH for the meme coin sometime this year at 35% – 45%.
Grok, the chatbot integrated within X, estimated that a fresh $DOGE record in 2026 is unlikely without “extraordinary catalysts.” It described the influence of Elon Musk (known as a Dogecoin supporter) and meme coin dynamics as the main factors.
In case there isn’t a massive market-wide mania, $DOGE’s most probable peak this year would be around $0.50, Grok added.

Seems Like a ‘Miracle’ Scenario
Perplexity backed Grok’s theory and claimed that supportive comments from Musk could positively impact $DOGE’s valuation. However, it predicted that the meme coin can reach a maximum price of $0.44 this year, whereas a new all-time high is more likely to be celebrated in 2027.
Google’s Gemini appears even more pessimistic, describing the potential explosion to a fresh record in 2026 as “a miracle scenario.” Instead, it claimed the ongoing year will offer a rebound and consolidation rather than a breaking surge above $0.74.
“2026 is expected to be a strong year for $DOGE, but reaching a new $ATH is a low-probability event,” it concluded.
