Probably new ATH wouldn't be a case for few months, so I also expect flat charts on both markets. After the correction of current uptrend correction, the price can go back to the highest possible level, IMHO.
I'm also thinking about the same thing as you said, because during a market correction all coins are difficult to move up and after that is over, I'm also very sure that the Bull trend will reappear even though it hasn't entered the turn of the year.
In fact it's happened often, after the correction occurs the crypto market will show a positive trend. A smart trader who sees an opportunity will take advantage of the opportunity for a correction to get a coin at a low price and will resell it when the positive trend is back. To get maximum results, traders will usually buy some coin that have high capitalization, while for dogecoin, it would be very difficult to increase again as it had been a while ago, if that happens it will take a very long time.
