Dash (DASH), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, has surged more than 65% over the past week, reaching a three-year high yesterday.
As investor interest in privacy coins grows, analysts have issued bullish price targets for DASH, with many projecting further upside potential above $100.
Why Is DASH’s Price Surging?
According to BeInCrypto Markets data, DASH, the fourth-largest privacy coin by market capitalization, has maintained an upward trend over the past month despite broader market challenges. During this period, the token’s value has increased by approximately 190%.
On November 2, DASH reached $96.9, marking its highest level since May 2022. The move followed DASH’s listing on Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange. The platform launched DASH perpetual trading with up to 5x leverage.
Typically, a new exchange listing boosts a token’s visibility and liquidity, often driving short-term price gains and increased trading activity. Nonetheless, DASH experienced a modest correction soon after.

At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at $84.9, representing a nearly 15% increase over the past 24 hours. The rise has landed DASH among the top daily gainers on CoinGecko.

Notably, community sentiment toward DASH remains positive, with 82% of traders expressing a bullish outlook on the token. This optimism is also reflected in price forecasts, as many traders expect DASH to surpass the $100 level.
Analysts had earlier pointed to $71.64 as a key resistance level for DASH. Since the token has already crossed this threshold, it could clear the way for a potential continuation toward the next psychological targets around $100 and beyond.
“A daily close above $71.64 can start a big breakout. First goal around $100, next goal near $130,” an analyst projected.
Another analyst projects DASH to trade between $100 and $140 in the near term, noting that sustained interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies could push the token as high as $250.
“DASH has shown that privacy doesn’t end with ZCASH. The month started with a 100% move on the altcoin. They’re pumping it on expectations similar to what happened with ZEC,” ACXtrades added.
Meanwhile, DASH’s rally is part of a broader momentum in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. Privacy coins have been the best-performing sector in the cryptocurrency market in 2025.
According to the latest data from Artemis, the sector has gained 186.8% this year, even outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This momentum has been led by major tokens, such as Zcash (ZEC), which recently crossed the $400 price level before falling back. While the outlook for privacy coins remains strong, it remains to be seen whether this rally will continue or fade away like other short-lived crypto narratives.
