Dogecoin is surging amid a big rally for the crypto market

Crypto valuations are surging amid signs of strength for Bitcoin and an increasingly favorable outlook on the macroeconomic front. The Federal Reserve will be hosting its next meeting on July 29 and July 30, and bullish investors are betting the central bank's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will issue a cut for the benchmark interest rate. If so, it could wind up powering a sustained bull rally for the cryptocurrency market.

What's next for Dogecoin?

The U.S. House of Representatives will begin debating new legislation for the cryptocurrency industry at the beginning of next week. The potential for beneficial new regulatory frameworks to be crafted is playing a role in this week's rally, and it's possible that promising legislative news next week will help extend rallies for Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and other cryptocurrencies.

Recent macroeconomic and political developments have shifted in ways that appear broadly favorable for the crypto market, but investors should still keep in mind that trading could be highly volatile in the near term. With Bitcoin hitting a new high and valuations for other tokens also surging, there's potential for big pullbacks if economic dynamics and other catalysts shift in less positive directions.
