Dogecoin Derivatives Volume Jumps 111% As Open Interest Spikes, But What About Price?

A number of Dogecoin metrics have turned bullish in the last few days, showing increased interest from investors. This ranges from the meme coin’s daily derivatives trading volumes to its open interest seeing a significant increase. However, in the midst of this, the Dogecoin price has remained limp, sparking worries among investors.

Dogecoin Derivatives Volume And Open Interest See Increase

One of the major Dogecoin metrics that has seen a significant increase recently is its derivatives trading volume. The trend began on Monday when the derivatives trading volume saw a 60% uptick. However, it seems DOGE traders are far from done as the volume has almost doubled since that time.

According to data from Coinglass, the Dogecoin derivatives trading volume is up 111% in the last day alone. This has pushed the derivatives trading volume to $3.85 billion, a significant increase from the $1.99 billion that was recorded on Monday.

The launch of Dogecoin futures contracts by Coinbase, the leading crypto exchange in the United States, may have something to do with this. Following the launch on April 1, 2024, the meme coin has seen increased interest in its derivatives products, which explains the increase in the volume.

However, the derivatives trading volume is not the only thing that has seen an uptick during this time. As Coinglass data shows, the Dogecoin open interest has also risen significantly during this time. It has seen an approximately 12% increase in the last day to touch above $830 million.

Dogecoin metrics

Despite this increase in the Dogecoin open interest, it is still a long way from its all-time high of $1.91 billion that was recorded on March 29. So, the current open interest of $830 million represents an over 50% decline from its all-time high. At the same time, the DOGE price is still struggling, showing a disconnect between the rise in metrics and the price of the meme coin.

DOGE Price Doesn’t Respond To Bullish Metrics

The Dogecoin price has remained muted during this time, even with the increased momentum. The total daily trading volume of the meme coin is up 128% in the last day. However, its price has barely moved 4%, even amid the meme coin craze sparked by the GameStop (GME) 100% rally.

DOGEs price has barely moved during this time and the resistance at $0.15 is waxing stronger. This suggests that the focus is no longer on Dogecoin during meme coin craze and rather on newer counterparts such as Solana-based GME and AMC, which have seen incredible rallies in the last day.

At the time of writing, the DOGE price is trending at $0.49, with a 3.48% increase in the last day. However, in the longer time frame, the meme coin is struggling with 5.79% and 4% losses on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively.

Shiba Inu Volume Flips Dogecoin, Will SHIB Price Flip DOGE If This Analyst’s Prediction Comes True?

Shiba Inu is up by 7% in the past 24 hours amidst an uptick in the meme coin market, coming ahead of Dogecoin at this time. The meme coin niche has witnessed a strong resurgence in the past day, with the entire niche up by 7.82%. Shiba Inu has particularly done well and witnessed a strong volume of interest amidst this uptick. Interestingly, this uptick in volume for SHIB has surpassed DOGE, with on-chain data suggesting SHIB could do better in the short term. At the same time, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed a phenomenon that could lead to a 20% upswing for SHIB.

Shiba Inu Volume Flips Dogecoin

Data from Coinmarketcap shows that Shiba Inu has witnessed a trading volume increase of 320% in the past 24 hours. The metric, on Dogecoin’s side, was an increase of 160%. The crypto, which has been trading inside a descending channel for a while, is now appearing to make a push above.

Although current data from analytics platform IntoTheBlock (ITB) suggests DOGE is still holding on for a longer-term overperformance over SHIB, SHIB is starting to position itself to outperform DOGE in the short term on a cost basis. According to ITB’s holding by time metric, DOGE has seen a 1.86% increase in the number of holders in the past 30 days, compared to a 0.43% increase for SHIB. ITB terms holders as passive investors that have held the asset for more than one year. 

However, the number of cruisers (investors holding between 1 to 12 months) flips the short-term interest in the favor of SHIB. As of this writing, SHIB’s cruisers have increased by +5.69% in a 30-day timeframe. The metric, on DOGE’s side, shows a 2.44% decrease.

SHIB To Breakout Of Parallel Channel

The recent increase in volume and short-term activity suggests that SHIB is ready to break out of a descending parallel channel of lower highs. As pointed out on social media by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, SHIB has been trading in a descending parallel channel since the last week of April. Current price action shows SHIB is now at the upper end of the descending and is at a critical junction for a breakout or reversal.

According to the analyst, a breakout from this channel at $0.00002444 could lead to another 20% upswing to $0.00002954. The price target serves as the highest point of the descending channel under consideration. A further surge could see SHIB returning back to the $0.00003 price territory. 

At the time of writing, SHIB is trading at $0.0000236. Failure to break above $0.00002444 could send the cryptocurrency back down as far as $0.0000211.

Dogecoin Breaks Out Of Descending Triangle Like It Did In 2021, Analyst Sets $6 Target

The Dogecoin price action seems to have turned bearish after a bearish close to April. Projections for the meme cryptocurrency are not bullish in the short term, especially considering the fact that it is now experiencing a 47% price correction from its highest point in the current market cycle. Despite its recent plunge, one analyst believes all is still well with Dogecoin, and the crypto asset is only gearing up for a bull run into new price territories. 

Dogecoin Repeating Behavior From Previous Bull Run

According to a recent analysis by popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Dogecoin’s current price action is setting up for a potential bull run, despite the cryptocurrency’s ongoing price correction. His analysis is based on interesting patterns on the Dogecoin price chart. 

Although they are a very volatile asset class, patterns are an interesting way to predict the future movement of cryptocurrencies. Now, Dogecoin appears to be repeating some of the same patterns that led to its massive breakout in 2017 and 2021.

Specifically, Dogecoin broke out of a descending triangle pattern in the last quarter of 2023, a seemingly occurring trend and a first step for the cryptocurrency. As Martinez noted, the first time this breakout happened was in 2017. However, DOGE went on a 40% correction shortly after before resuming a 982% bull run. Again, a similar breakout of a descending triangle in 2021 saw the crypto retracing by 56% before skyrocketing by 12,197% to reach its current all-time high of $0.7316.

Now, the recent DOGE correction in the past month after breaking out of a descending triangle means the crypto could be gearing up for a similar bounce up. According to the DOGE price chart shared by Martinez, the first step is breaking above resistance at $0.224. If it can hurdle that level, it opens up a run back to the 2021 high and a push-up to a first target of around $1.2. 

Looking further out, Martinez’s chart shows an ultimate price surge above $6 in this bull cycle. For this to happen, Dogecoin would need to regain momentum and rally over 4,700% from current levels over the coming months. While this price point looks overachieving, Dogecoin has pulled off epic rallies before, surging over 12,000% at one point in 2021 alone.

It has only been a few months into 2024 Dogecoin has already been on a wild ride this year along with the rest of the crypto market. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.125 and is down by 16.92% in the past seven days. Trading volume is up by 50% in the past 24 hours, which suggests a return of investor interest.

Machine Learning Algorithm Predicts Dogecoin Price For May 2024

As April comes to a bearish close, expectations for Dogecoin in May are not exactly bullish, especially as the crypto market has continued to fall. DOGE has been one of the main losers during this time, falling below $0.14. This underperformance is expected to continue as the machine learning algorithm at CoinCodex predicts further decline for the meme coin.

Algorithm Predicts Another 13% Decline

Despite the Dogecoin price already suffering a notable 14% decline in the last week, the machine learning algorithm believes it will fall another 13% in the month of May. The machine learning algorithm, which takes a number of metrics into consideration, presented that the DOGE price remains very bearish despite the market still sitting in greed.

For the month of May, the algorithm expects the meme coin’s price to decline by a total of 13.66% from here, falling below $0.13 to $0.1238. Even on the shorter term, the Dogecoin price remains bearish with an expected 1% decline to $0.14 in the next five days.

On the broader timeframe, expectations for the meme coin are not high as the machine learning algorithm does not expect the cryptocurrency to reach a new all-time high until 2029. For the year 2025, it gives the meme coin a yearly high of over $0.66, which is less than its current all-time high price of $0.7.

The next two years after this are expected to be bearish as the price is predicted to fluctuate around $0.126 and $0.25. Then, a new all-time high price of $1.4 is expected. If this plays out, then it would mean that Dogecoin investors would have to wait another five years to see new peaks.

Dogecoin Metrics Tell A Different Story

While the machine learning algorithm remains bearish, the Dogecoin metrics have been painting a picture of bullishness. For example, there has been a steady increase in the Dogecoin trading volume, rising 28% in the last day alone. This suggests a return of investor interest and if it translates into demand, it could see the price rise rapidly from here.

There has also been an accumulation trend for the meme coin, especially among whales. One whale, in particular, withdrew 226 million DOGE from the Robinhood exchange in two transactions. Usually, when investors move coins from exchanges to private wallets, it means they are accumulating for better prices. This could signal a turn in the tide.

However, at the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is still struggling at $0.135, with a 4% drop in the last 24 hours. A reversal from here could see DOGE retest the $0.15 resistance. But a breakdown could send it back toward $0.12.

Brace For Price Impact: Dogecoin Whales Move Massive 456 Million DOGE To Exchanges

Recent on-chain data has shown a transfer of 456 million DOGE tokens into crypto exchange Coinbase amidst a flurry of Dogecoin whale transactions across various exchanges in the past 24 hours. The price of DOGE has majorly traded below the $0.165 price level in the past seven days despite the price uptick among other meme coins. These recent events of whale transfers, however, appear to be leading to a bearish view towards DOGE. Transfers of this nature into a crypto exchange point to the whales getting ready to sell off their bags, which risks crashing the DOGE price. 

Whales Move 456 Million DOGE To Crypto Exchange

Whale Alerts, a crypto whale transaction tracker, has shown various instances of whale transactions in recent hours. Amidst these transactions is the transfer of 456.83 million DOGE tokens worth $68.7 million into popular crypto exchange Coinbase. Interestingly, the transfer of DOGE was made to Coinbase in two bouts of 228 million DOGE, each worth over $34 million.

However, considering these transactions were sent in quick succession, the nature of their movement points to them being controlled by the same whale entity. 

A further look into the two whale addresses involved, “DFBx6m” and “DCTpBb”, showed that they no longer hold any tokens at the time of writing. This lends additional credibility to the idea that the transfers were made with the intention of selling off tokens.

Notably, on-chain data shows that both addresses have been holding their DOGE tokens since last year, considering the last inflow of DOGE occurred on November 1, 2023. During this time, the price of Dogecoin was trading around $0.068. It is worth noting that DOGE has gone on an over 120% price increase since then, putting the holdings at a significant profit.

What’s Next For Dogecoin?

At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1511. The crypto is now on a correction path after failing to substantially break above $0.164 in the past week. The recent movement of nearly half a billion Dogecoin suggests major price volatility could be on the horizon. Furthermore, the recent DOGE rally seems to have stalled out as other altcoins and meme coins gain momentum.

While DOGE is currently down by 0.64% in the past seven days, Shiba Inu, PEPE, Dogwifhat, and FLOKI are up by 13.8%, 47.5%, and 32.5% in the same timeframe. 

The future of DOGE can be hard to predict. As with any meme coin, Dogecoin remains highly speculative. Its price continues to be volatile and heavily influenced by hype and social media. According to a crypto analyst, DOGE could continue to drop in the short term. Other analysts are bullish on DOGE, with analyst Ali Martinez even predicting a rally to the $1 price mark.

Why Is The Dogecoin Price Down Today?

Dogecoin (DOGE), the foremost meme coin, is down over 6% in the last 24 hours according to data from CoinMarketCap. This downtrend can be attributed to the price movement of the flagship crypto, Bitcoin. 

Dogecoin Drops Alongside Bitcoin

Dogecoin’s price also experienced a sharp decline as the flagship crypto dropped from over $66,000 to below $64,000 in the last 24 hours. Altcoins like DOGE are known to experience a similar downtrend whenever Bitcoin’s price records a correction like the way it has done. Generally, the global crypto market is down over 4%, thanks to this occurrence. 

Several factors are believed to have contributed to Bitcoin’s recent decline (and, by extension, Dogecoin and other altcoins). One is the upcoming release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data on April 26. Despite estimates from the Cleveland Fed, predicting that the PCE data will show that inflation has slowed, crypto investors are still wary, given that the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) data didn’t show any disinflationary progress. 

Crypto investors are also still apprehensive about the conflict in the Middle East. Although tensions between Israel and Iran seem to have subsided, there is still the belief that things could quickly get heated again. The impact this geopolitical conflict has on the crypto market has become evident, and investors want to avoid getting burned again. 

Meanwhile, the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which now significantly impact the crypto market, have seen their inflows slow this month. The demand for these investment funds has drastically dropped, contributing to the unimpressive price action among crypto tokens like Dogecoin, given the amount of liquidity they brought into the market at their peak. 

Interestingly, the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, recorded zero daily inflows into its iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) for the first time on April 24, further underscoring how bad things have become. 

DOGE Still Expected To Experience Further Price Declines

Based on crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto’s recent analysis, the foremost meme coin is still expected to experience further price declines even when the crypto market picks up again. The analyst mentioned that the crypto market is getting to the point where liquidity in memes like Dogecoin and other altcoins will get sucked by Bitcoin as it makes its move to $100,000

The crypto analyst predicts that Dogecoin could drop to as low as $0.5 when this happens, suggesting there wouldn’t be enough liquidity for the meme coin to maintain any uptrend. However, crypto analyst Kevin (formerly OG Yomi) offered a different opinion, noting that nothing on the monthly time frame suggests Dogecoin will drop to as low as $0.5.

Expert Forecasts 700% Growth For Dogecoin (DOGE) As It Sets Sights On $1 Target

Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme-based cryptocurrency, has demonstrated its resilience in the market with a 2.5% price increase over the past 24 hours, reaching a trading price of $0.1607. 

Analysts, including Altcoin Sherpa and Ali Martinez, have recently shared optimistic predictions for DOGE’s future, suggesting further gains and potential for outperformance compared to other tokens.

A Strong Future For Dogecoin In 2024? 

Over the past months, DOGE has closely followed Bitcoin’s price action, experiencing ups and downs in tandem with the market leader. 

On March 28, DOGE reached its yearly high of $0.2292, solidifying its position as the 9th largest cryptocurrency with nearly 100% year-to-date growth. Despite the volatility, DOGE has demonstrated its ability to rebound and attract investor attention.

Market expert Altcoin Sherpa recently expressed optimism about DOGE’s future, stating that the coin is poised for strength in 2024. 

Altcoin Sherpa recommended averaging between $0.12 and $0.14, emphasizing DOGE’s potential to outperform other tokens.

The analyst highlighted DOGE’s previous consolidation phase, lasting almost two years, and suggested that it is primed for a significant price surge in the future. Sherpa stated:

DOGE is looking good. I strongly feel like this is going to be a strong coin for 2024. I think averaging between $.12 and $.14 would be a solid play and this one should outperform many other tokens for a lot of reasons. It chopped for almost 2 years, it’s going to moon later. 

700% Price Uptrend Toward $1

On the other hand, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has also shared a bullish prediction for DOGE, noting the coin’s recurring price patterns. 

Martinez pointed out that DOGE consolidates after breaking out of a descending triangle formation. Based on historical trends, the analyst believes that DOGE has the potential to rally towards $1 in the coming weeks, which would represent a staggering 700% uptrend in price from current levels, surpassing the cryptocurrency’s current all-time high of $0.7316, reached in May 2021. 

Dogecoin

Despite Martinez’s optimistic outlook, Dogecoin faces several resistance levels that have impeded its recovery after a 21% price decline in the past two weeks.

The meme coin encounters a significant obstacle at the $0.1633 price level, as depicted in the DOGE/USD daily chart above. This level has acted as a barrier for the past 10 days, hindering further upward movement.

In its journey towards the $0.200 mark, DOGE may encounter additional hurdles at $0.1739, $0.1938, and $0.1998. These resistance levels must be overcome before the cryptocurrency can potentially retest its all-time high.

It is important to note that Bitcoin’s performance will likely influence Dogecoin’s price movement in the coming weeks. In addition, Dogecoin’s overall trajectory through the end of 2024 remains uncertain as it depends on the potential for a bullish breakout and various market factors.

Dogecoin Flashes Weekly Golden Cross: Why This Analyst Believes The Bull Rally Is Far From Over

A crypto analyst known as Yomi has noted that the Dogecoin recent price action could turn bullish after this week. According to Yomi, DOGE is on the verge of creating a golden cross on its price chart, an event that could indicate the continuation of a major bull run. He noted the need for a green candle this week in order to start a new rally, which could be tough considering recent on-chain metrics and market fundamentals. 

Dogecoin Flashing Weekly Golden Cross

The weekly chart for Dogecoin is flashing a golden cross, a bullish signal that occurs when the 50-week moving average crosses above the 200-week moving average. According to a weekly price chart shared by Yomi, this weekly cross looked almost completed just two weeks ago, as a price surge for DOGE in the past two months saw the short-term moving average approaching the longer one. 

However, trader sentiment around DOGE has turned bearish since the beginning of April as the bulls struggled to push the crypto past the $0.22 mark, allowing it to form a price resistance level. Consequently, DOGE has gone on to form two weeks of bearish candles, which has derailed the completion of a golden cross. 

Yomi observed that the formation of this bullish indicator has been pushed forward to multiple weeks of upward price movement. Furthermore, Yomi said all that’s needed is for DOGE to close higher than its open price this week and form a green candle to confirm the breakout and get back on track to a golden cross. 

DOGE To Turn Bullish?

Dogecoin dropped by an astounding margin last week to spearhead the crash in the majority of meme coins. Interestingly, the crypto fell to as low as $0.13 in the middle of the week, representing a 33% decline from its opening price at the start of the week. During the price fall, crypto whale transaction tracker Whale Alerts noted the transfer of 600 million DOGE tokens worth $92.3 million from a private wallet into Binance, hinting at a potential sell-off from a DOGE whale.

However, all is not lost as Dogecoin price action has been showing green in the past day. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1669, up by 5% in the past 24 hours. If DOGE can close substantially above its weekly open of $0.1624, that would confirm the continuation of the journey to a golden cross and likely kick off a new uptrend

Yomi noted in another post on social media that Doge will continue to tease a bullish price action in the longer term as long as it stays above $0.12 this week.

Dogecoin Whales Send 800 Million DOGE To Exchanges, Dump Incoming?

Dogecoin has been one of the best performers over the past year, consistently holding up gains even through market dumps. However, after the meme coin’s rally in March and then the subsequent dump in April, it looks like investors, especially whales, are finally getting ready to start taking profit. This is evidenced by a number of large DOGE transactions that were flagged going into exchanges over the last day.

Dogecoin Whales Move 800 Million DOGE To Exchanges

The movement of coins to centralized exchanges can be very bearish for the price of a cryptocurrency. This is because the move to centralized exchanges often points to a selling spree as investors look to take advantage of the deep liquidity that is provided by these exchange platforms. This reason is why the massive amounts of DOGE tokens being sent to centralized exchanges are concerning for the community.

Over the course of the last day, the on-chain whale tracking platform Whale Alert reported a number of large DOGE transactions that carried tokens to centralized exchanges. The largest of these transactions happened on April 14, when a single transaction was carrying 600 DOGE tokens to the Binance exchange.

At the time of the transaction, the total stash of tokens being transferred was worth around $92.3 million. However, with the DOGE price increasing since then, the value of the tokens contained in this transaction could be closer to $95 million at the time of this writing.

Hours later, after the first transaction, two other transactions followed, also carrying notable amounts of DOGE tokens. The second transaction, which carried 100 million DOGE tokens worth $15.28 million, headed for the Robinhood exchange.

The third transaction of the trio was also headed to the Robinhood exchange, carrying 99.25 million tokens worth $16.15 million. In total, approximately 800 million DOGE tokens to centralized exchanges, signaling a potential sell-off on the horizon.

Can DOGE Surge From Here?

Despite the bearish pressure that seems to categorize Dogecoin lately, the longer-term outlook for the meme coin has remained bullish, especially among crypto analysts. Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade has continued to maintain a bullish stance on the meme coin, which he believes could pull a significant rally soon.

Tardigrade’s latest analysis of Dogecoin saw a bullish formation on the chart, which could lead to a 100% rally. The move, which the analyst expects to happen sometime in April following the Bitcoin Halving, is expected to see the DOGE price rise as high as $0.4 in the short term.

However, first, the meme coin’s price would have to break above $0.205, which has developed into significant resistance for the altcoin. But, as the crypto analyst explains, a break above this level would confirm the bullish breakout.

For now, Dogecoin is still struggling to break through this $0.205 resistance and has since been rejected from this level. It is currently sitting at $0.165, with a 5.51% increase on the last day and a 20% decrease on the last week, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

The Era Of Flippenings: Can Dogecoin Take XRP’s Spot?

In the last few weeks, there has been uncertainty in the crypto market, but that has not stopped the likes of Dogecoin and XRP from making moves. One of the most notable developments, however, was the entry of Toncoin (TON) into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, and then dethroning Cardano (ADA). Following this, Dogecoin looks ready to carry out a flippening of its own, eyeing XRP’s spot on the list.

Dogecoin Gearing Up To Take Over XRP

Dogecoin has performed rather well at a time when the crypto market has remained indecisive. Even though there has been times when the price has dipped, it has managed to reclaim $0.2, although the majority of bearish resistance is being mounted at this junction.

Nevertheless, Dogecoin’s ability to hold most of its gains from March has seen its market cap increase rapidly. From less than $15 billion at the start of the year 2024, the meme coin’s market cap has now climbed above $28.6 billion, putting it dangerously close to the market cap of XRP.

At the time of writing, XRP’s market cap is sitting at $33.9 billion, spurred by the decline in its price over the last week. This means that the market cap of XRP is now only 15.6% higher than that of Dogecoin, a perilously small gap given how quickly prices of cryptocurrencies can rise.

In this case, if Dogecoin continues to perform well and XRP fails to keep up, it could easily lose the sixth spot on the list to DOGE. A 20% rise in the DOGE price to $0.24 would put its market cap above $34 billion, putting it ahead of XRP. And if XRP’s continues to fall, then the gap could tighten over the next week.

DOGE Price Projected To Explode

Dogecoin currently boasts one of the strongest crypto communities, and some would argue even stronger than the XRP army, as DOGE’s support base has strengthened due to its outperformance in the past. This support base and rapid adoption are two of the foremost factors that promise an interesting future for the meme coin.

There have been many predictions for where the future price of DOGE might be, with some going as high as $100. However, according to crypto Analyst Ali Martinez, Dogecoin could do quite well in this bull market. The analysis posted by Martinez reveals multiple price targets, with $12 at the top.

These targets, if they play out correctly, will see the DOGE market cap rise rapidly, and unless XRP pulls some equally bullish moves, it will soon be behind DOGE on the list of largest cryptocurrencies by market cap. But for now, both cryptocurrencies at maintaining their places with XRP in 6th position and Dogecoin in 8th position behind stablecoin USDC.

Crypto Expert Reveals What To Expect For Bitcoin, Dogecoin, And XRP In 12-16 Months

Crypto expert Ash Crypto has outlined his price predictions for several crypto tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and XRP, heading into this bull run. He also suggested that these price levels could be attained in the next 12 to 16 months. 

How High Will Bitcoin, Dogecoin, And XRP Rise?

Ash Crypto predicted in an X (formerly Twitter) that BTC would rise between $100,000 and $250,000 by 2025. This prediction aligns with those made by other notable crypto analysts. One of them is Skybridge Capital CEO Anthony Scaramucci, who predicted in January that Bitcoin would rise to $170,000 18 months after the Bitcoin Halving.

Bitcoin Dogecoin XRP

Meanwhile, some other crypto analysts will argue that Bitcoin hitting $100,000 could even happen this year rather than 2025. This includes Tom Dunleavy, the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) at MV Capital, who claims that Bitcoin will rise to $100,000 by the end of this year. Tom Lee, Managing Partner and Head of Research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, also predicted that Bitcoin would rise to as high as $150,000 this year. 

Regarding his price target for DOGE, Ash Crypto predicted that the meme coin would rise to $1 in the next 12 to 16 months. This prediction is also a common sentiment shared by several other crypto analysts and members of the crypto community. Specifically, crypto analyst DonAlt once mentioned that “it isn’t too unlikely for Dogecoin to go to $1,” while crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa stated that DOGE could do “something silly like go to $1 this cycle eventually.”

Ash Crypto also shared his price target for XRP, stating that the crypto token could rise between $3 and $5. This price prediction, however, seems conservative, considering other predictions that crypto analysts have made for the XRP token. 

Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto recently mentioned that XRP could rise to as high as $20 in this market cycle. Meanwhile, Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has repeatedly stated that XRP hitting $27 is possible.

Undervalued Altcoins Make The List

Crypto expert Michaël van de Poppe recently included Chainlink (LINK), Celestia (TIA), and Polkadot (DOT) in a list of ten crypto tokens he believes are undervalued. Interestingly, these three altcoins also made their way into Ash Crypto’s list of coins, for which he outlined price targets. 

For LINK, Ash Crypto predicted that the crypto token could rise to between $250 and $500 by next year. LINK’s rise to such levels would undoubtedly be massive, considering it currently trades at around $17. Ash Crypto also predicted a parabolic surge in TIA and DOT’s prices, as he believes they could rise to as high as $150 and $120, respectively.

Dogecoin Finds A Bottom: How The 7-Year Cycle Can Send Price To $40

Dogecoin has had a rather interesting week, first rallying to cross $0.2, before correcting back downward and eventually losing support at $0.8. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of steam left in the cryptocurrency it seems, as crypto analysts have identified both a bottom and a 7-year cycle that could send its price as high as $40.

Dogecoin To Bottom Around $0.16

In an analysis posted on X (formerly Twitter), crypto analyst Trader Mayne posited that Dogecoin could find a bottom around $0.16. He explains that this is the level where bulls are mounting support, making it a critical point for the meme coin.

Now, if the bulls are able to hold this support level, it would mean that the DOGE price has eventually found its bottom. However, falling below this support level could be detrimental for the meme coin’s price, as Trader Mayne revealed, leading to an even larger correction from here.

On the flip side, if bulls are able to hold this support, then it could signal a continuation of the bullish trend. The crypto analyst reports that the RR (Risk Ratio) for longs has skewed positive. So, in this case, holding above the $0.16 support and eventually reclaiming the previous local peak just below $0.24, then “the party continues,” the analyst stated.

DOGE Price Headed To $40?

Trader Mayne is not the only crypto analyst who has shown bullishness toward Dogecoin in spite of the decline. Another analyst, identified as Tardigrade, also took to X to share a cycle trend in the DOGE price that they had uncovered.

The crypto analyst titled the trend the “Cycle of 7 years” which predicts a large move up to new all-time high levels for the meme coin. Tardigrade points to the performance of Dogecoin in the seven years leading up to the 2021 surge, a cycle that they believe is set to repeat again.

Given that seven years is a wide range, it means that in 2024, the DOGE price is still just halfway to completing it. From here, it would take another four years for the 7-year cycle to be completed, at the end of which Dogecoin is expected to see a massive surge.

The cycle ends in 2028 and by this time, the crypto analyst expects that the DOGE price will move above $2, then $9, and all the way to $40. They support this with the fact that the DOGE price moved from $0.0007 in 2017, and reached as high as $0.7 in 2021. Given this, the analyst advises crypto investors not to miss the Dogecoin move up.

Dogecoin Hits Major Roadblock As Whales Go On Massive Selling Spree

The Dogecoin (DOGE) price looks at risk of further declines as on-chain data show that the meme coin’s largest holders are securing profits. This follows DOGE’s recent price surge, which saw the crypto token rise to a new three-year high of $0.22. 

Dogecoin Witnesses Wave Of Profit-Taking

Data from the market intelligence platform Santiment shows a drop in the number of Dogecoin holders holding between 10 million and 100 million DOGE tokens. This suggests that some holders have offloaded their tokens to secure profits from DOGE’s recent price gains. 

This wave of profit-taking looks to have become a pattern among DOGE holders, as further data from Santimemt showed that these whales also instantly booked their profits just after DOGE enjoyed an upward trend earlier in March. Bitcoinist even reported then of a Dogecoin whale that offloaded 86 million DOGE tokens on the market. 

Considering the magnitude of these whales’ holdings, their actions are bound to exert much selling pressure on the DOGE token. That explains why the meme coin has steadily declined since rising to as high as $0.22 last week. Interestingly, Santiment, in an X (formerly Twitter) post, had recently warned of an impending sell-off by these whales. 

The crypto analytics platform noted how major dormant whales were moving their Dogecoin holdings back into circulation, which usually suggests they are getting ready to sell. Meanwhile, members of the DOGE community seem unfazed by the recent price dip, with many of them seeing it as an opportunity to accumulate more of the meme coin.

The Whales Will Soon Return  

Dogecoin whales are expected to return and position themselves again once this wave of profit-taking by them is done. Besides taking profits, these whales also see this period as an opportunity to invest in DOGE at the market bottom and in anticipation of future price gains. 

Despite this recent correction, there looks to be a lot of bullish momentum on the largest meme coin by market cap, especially with analysts predicting that it could rise to $1 in this market cycle. In the short term, Dogecoin is also expected to make another run soon, with significant events coming up for the meme coin this April.

The foremost US exchange, Coinbase, is set to launch Dogecoin futures for its institutional clients on April 29. This move could cause new money to flow into the meme coin’s ecosystem and spark a price surge. DOGE Day is also happening on April 20, which will put the spotlight on the crypto token and possibly impact its price positively. 

At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at around $0.18, down over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin Holder Base Reaches New Record Amid Surge In Interest

Dogecoin has soared toward a new record in one notable metric as interest in the meme coin continues to surge. This time around, the holder base of the cryptocurrency has reached a new all-time high, signaling rapid adoption among crypto investors.

Dogecoin Holders Cross 6.9 Million

The month of March has come with glad tidings for Dogecoin. Not only has the meme coin’s price risen tremendously this month, its holder base has also seen a lot of growth. This month, the total DOGE holder base crossed 6.9 million for the very first time, setting a new record. However, the meme coin is not anywhere near done as the number continues to rise.

According to data from the Coincarp website, the number of Dogecoin holders on the mainnet has reached 6,932,763 as of March 28. Given the growth rate of the number of holders over the last month, the number could cross 7 million before the month of March is over.

This new record is a testament to the adoption that DOGE has witnessed over the last few months. Despite competitors such as BONK, PEPE, and WIF springing out of the woodwork, as well as its fiercest rival, Shiba Inu, continuing to put up a fight, Dogecoin has dominated as the leading meme coin.

To put this growth in perspective, the DOGE holder base started out the year 2024 with around 6.06 million holders. Three months later, it is more than 6.9 million, meaning that the holder base grew more than 14% during this time.

DOGE Outlook Continues To Be Bullish

In addition to the rapid rise in Dogecoin holders, there has been a notable uptick in other metrics, such as daily transaction counts, whale transactions, and age consumed. These point to a rise in bullish sentiment among investors who expect the price to keep going up.

The age consumed is particularly important here since it shows that more investors are choosing to hold their DOGE tokens for the longer term. This has significantly reduced the selling pressure on the meme coin, allowing it to rally at a time when most of the crypto market remains suppressed.

Another metric that has shown a significant increase is the daily transaction volume which is up almost 50% in the last day. This uptick shows more interest in trading Dogecoin and with its price surging in the last day, it suggests that the majority of this volume is skewed toward buying rather than selling.

The DOGE price is currently reflecting this surge in interest as its price is up almost 10% in the last day. However, the bears continue to maintain resistance around $0.2, forcing the meme coin back downward.

Dogecoin Whales Go On Massive Buying Spree, Here’s How Much They’ve Bought

Dogecoin has seen a steady rise in activity in the past two days to reverse the period of stagnancy recorded earlier in the week. At the time of writing, DOGE is up by 7% in the past 24 hours, reversing some of the corrections it has experienced in the past week. Turns out some Dogecoin whales have been going on a massive buying spree, as indicated by on-chain data. 

Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted this accumulation trend by tweeting that DOGE whales have bought over 25 million DOGE worth around $3.75 million in the past three days. 

Crypto Analyst Reveals Dogecoin Whale Accumulation

According to the Santiment chart shared by Ali Martinez on social media, wallets holding between 10 million to 100 million DOGE tokens have now pushed their total balance to 15.63 billion DOGE after adding 25 million DOGE in the past 24 hours. 

Interestingly, the chart dynamics indicate this is a major change in sentiment from this cohort of traders, as their collective balance has been in a freefall since March 14th.

Why Does This Matter?

Crypto whales typically move the market. Increased buying or selloff from a few large traders could change the sentiment of other investors, and they could further cascade a price surge or decline. Notably, the chart shared by Martinez shows that the total balance of DOGE’s whale addresses has largely corresponded with the price increase. 

For example, the drop on March 14 in the total whale balance corresponded with a 33% drop in DOGE’s price from $0.1878 on March 14 to March 20. However, DOGE is now showing signs of recovery and is currently trading at $0.1629.

While Dogecoin whales and FOMO buyers may temporarily push DOGE higher, its long term success really depends on whether it can transform from a memecoin into a widely used cryptocurrency. Dogecoin recently scored a point in its bid to achieve mainstream adoption. Coinbase, America’s biggest crypto exchange, revealed plans to introduce Dogecoin along with Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash to its regulated futures contract offerings.

According to an earlier prediction by Ali Martinez, DOGE could reach the $1 mark in April. His prediction was based off of the crypto’s performance after similar breakouts in 2017 and 2021. 

A large part of this prediction coming to manifestation is a bullish sentiment from whale addresses, especially if they continue on an accumulation pattern. A key price level to watch is $0.20. If DOGE breaks above this resistance level, it could continue surging higher on buying momentum. But if it fails to break $0.20 and starts dropping again, it may indicate the rally is running out of steam.

Dogecoin Growth Hits Roadblock As Holder Activity Enters Dreaded Period Of Stagnancy

The Dogecoin (DOGE) network has entered a period of stagnancy, as the number of addresses holding the meme coin has slowed. This is a stark contrast to February and January, when the network experienced a significant expansion

Dogecoin Has Added Only 60,000 New Addresses In March

Data from the market intelligence platform Santiment shows that the total number of DOGE holders has increased by only 60,000 since the beginning of this month. At the start of the month, 6.51 million users were holding the meme coin, with this figure only increasing to 6.57 million since then.

This is unlike February when the total number of DOGE holders rose from 5.92 million to 6.51 million. Specifically, around this same time last month, the network had already seen an increase of 450,000 in the total number of addresses holding DOGE. Meanwhile, NewsBTC reported that over 400,000 new addresses were added in two weeks between January and February. 

Dogecoin also set a new record in January alone when 247,240 new DOGE addresses were created on January 29. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that a sustained uptrend in the network’s expansion “could soon reflect positively” on DOGE’s price. That underscores how significant the number of addresses holding the meme coin is. 

The stagnancy in Dogecoin’s holder activity might also come as a surprise to some in the crypto community, considering the meme coin frenzy that has taken the crypto space by storm. However, a plausible explanation is that meme coin traders aren’t necessarily invested in the prominent meme tokens but have their eyes on the undervalued gems. 

How Other Top Meme Coins Have Fared

Data from Santiment also shows that the other two meme coins, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE), which make up the top three largest meme coins by market cap, haven’t fared better. Shiba Inu hasn’t seen its holder count increase since the beginning of the month, with the total number of users holding the meme coin still at 1.38 million. 

On the other hand, PEPE still has less than 200,000 holders despite boasting a year-to-date (YTD) gain of over 370%. These figures place DOGE firmly ahead of SHIB and PEPE in terms of the number of users they all have. Dogecoin is expected to see its user base pick up once again as soon as there is a renewed interest in network functionalities like the Doginals

At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at around $0.12, down almost 14% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin Open Interest Maintains Record Highs, Is A Crash Coming?

The Dogecoin open interest rose to a new all-time high earlier in March, and while there has been a small retracement, the open interest has continued to maintain very high record levels since then. Given this continuous high level, it could point to where the price of the meme coin is headed next using historical data.

Dogecoin Open Interest Maintains High Level

Open interest is a measure of the total number of futures or options contracts of a particular coin in the market at a give time. It can help to tell how much money is flowing into that particular asset, thereby revealing if there a high or love interest in the asset.

On Dogecoin’s part, its total open interest has been rising over the last few months, especially as the crypto market recovered, as shown by data from Coinglass. A natural consequence of this was that the price was also climbing at the same time as the open interest and thus, there is a high correlation between open interest and price.

The DOGE open interest hit a new all-time high of $1.47 billion on March 5, and the meme coin has not looked back since. Despite a small decline in the following days, the open interest is rising once again, reaching $.144 billion on March 14 and taking the price with it.

While the rise in open interest does point to a lot of bullishness in the market, historical performance during times like these also calls for caution. Taking a look at what happened the previous times that the Dogecoin open interest hit new all-time highs could give an idea of where the price is headed next.

Where Can DOGE Go From Here?

Over the years, there have been various points at which the Dogecoin open interest has reached new all-time highs and a trend has emerged, in a manner of speaking. Looking as far back as 2021 when the open interest hit ATHs multiple time, this trend plays out similarly.

A sustained rise until a new all-time high is reached, with the price rising along, and then followed by a crash in open interest, as well as price. This was the case in September 2021 when the open interest reached a new all-time high and then again in November 2021 when it clocked another ATH.

Moving forward, the same trend is seen in October 2021 when the DOGE open rose close to its previous all-time high, but ended the same way as the previous ones – with a crash. These crashes almost always affect the DOGE price as well, causing it to drop to the levels before the surge in open interest.

If this pattern holds this time around, then a crash might be ahead for the Dogecoin open interest and the DOGE price by extension. A likely scenario is a 20% drop that could send the DOGE price back toward $0.15 before the crypto market picks up steam once again.

Crypto Expert Says Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, PEPE, Others Are About To Explode

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe has laid a bullish narrative for altcoins, predicting that these crypto tokens will make a significant run of theirs soon. This prediction is based on his belief that altcoins are still undervalued compared to the flagship crypto, Bitcoin. 

Crypto Analyst Says Altcoins Are About To Explode

Michaël van de Poppe mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that “there is still around 40-60% market capitalization to gain for the altcoins.” In a subsequent X post, he noted that the valuations of these crypto tokens in their BTC pairs are still relatively low, and that suggests that “strength is still to come,” he claimed. 

The analyst believes that the valuation of these altcoins should be done using their “Bitcoin values” and no other way. If that is done, he remarked that one will be able to see that “most altcoins are still heavily undervalued compared” to the flagship crypto. Meanwhile, he hinted that altcoins will enjoy these significant gains once Bitcoin consolidates. 

In a video posted on his YouTube Channel, Michaël van de Poppe elaborated on the correlation between Bitcoin and these altcoins. The analyst stated that Bitcoin hitting new highs means that there is more money in the market and that this money will rotate to other crypto tokens soon enough. 

Once that happens, he expects these altcoins to make significant returns that might be underestimated because of the bear market stigma. Meanwhile, Michaël van de Poppe predicts that altcoin season will come in different rounds. The first one will see these crypto tokens coming close to their all-time high (ATH) or even breaking it, as seen with some already. 

The Best Time To Have Bought Altcoins 

Michaël van de Poppe had previously prepared his followers for this imminent altcoin season when he advised them on the right time to buy these crypto tokens. Back then, he mentioned that the best time to invest in altcoins was “6-10 months prior to the Bitcoin Halving.”

The analyst called that one correctly, seeing as altcoins have made significant runs since then alongside Bitcoin. AI and Meme coins, in particular, have led the way, with tokens like the foremost meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), seeing a significant increase in their market cap. 

Despite the tremendous run these tokens have made so far, there still seems to be an opportunity for investors to position themselves, considering that Michaël van de Poppe mentioned that they are still undervalued.

Dogecoin To $100? Crypto Analyst Reveals The Key

Dogecoin has seen a number of bullish predictions over the last month, especially with the recovery of the crypto market. The latest in this long line of bullish predictions is that of one crypto analyst who goes by southofearth on TradingView. According to the analyst, the DOGE price will rally higher than expectations.

Dogecoin Price Maintains Previous Patterns

The analysis which was posted on the TradingView website shows the trajectory of the Dogecoin price since it was launched back in 2013. The chart highlights the performance of DOGE in the years leading up to each Bitcoin halving and how this can pinpoint its rally point.

Both times have seen the Dogecoin price put on a massive rally after each halving, suggesting that it is a bullish trigger for the meme coin. With the next Bitcoin halving expected to take place sometime in April, the DOGE price looks to be gearing up for another breakout.

The crypto analyst points out that DOGE is currently showing a similar pattern as it had in the previous years, although with a bit more volatility. But because it is mostly maintaining this pattern, the chances of it following the same patter of rallying are high.

They also explain that the markets are moving faster, and the 4-year cycle that investors are used to might be getting shorter. Given this, the bull market begins faster, although with longer bear markets. In this case, the analyst believes that the DOGE price could top out in October of 2024 instead of in 2025 as expected.

DOGE Price Targets For Bull Market

Southofearth also shared their price targets for Dogecoin going forward, with four targets in total. The first puts the price at $1, which looks to be the start of the breakout. From there, the next target is placed at 1005 from the first target at $2.

Then another jump to $14 is expected before running all the way to $27. According to the crypto analyst, $27 is the next all-time high price for DOGE going by what has happened to the coin in previous years.

However, it doesn’t end there, as the analyst predicted that the DOGE price could possibly rise to $100 and above. But for this to happen, there has to be “hyperbitcoinization happens due to dollar index breaking down,” the analyst explains.

If the crypto analyst is correct, then the DOGE price could see a 16,000% move from here. However, the possibility of this happening is very slim given that DOGE’s market cap is already at $20 billion, and such a move would make it larger than Ethereum.

Analyst Predicts Massive Rally For Dogecoin Price With A $1 Target, Here’s How

Dogecoin recently jumped to the $0.2 level for the first time since November 2021 amidst a month of exceptional bullish price action. Notably, DOGE is currently up by 128% this month and 97% in the past seven days, giving DOGE holders something to be happy about. According to a crypto analyst, this price surge is expected to continue and go parabolic to the $1 mark in this market cycle. 

Dogecoin Set To Perform Exceptionally Well

Current market dynamics and bullish sentiment have seen DOGE shooting up in market capitalization after an extended consolidation period. A recent surge past the $0.20 price level saw DOGE briefly overtaking Cardano and jumping up to the eighth position in market cap rankings. 

In a post shared on social media platform X, a crypto analyst known as Altcoin Sherpa, noted this recent surge as a sign of better things to come in this cycle. While the analyst didn’t give a particular price point, he noted that a $1 price per Dogecoin wouldn’t be too surprising.

Interestingly, the $1 level would mean a ride to uncharted territory for DOGE, as the crypto is yet to cross above $0.8. A surge to $1 would mean a 465% surge from the current price level and past its current all-time high of $0.74.

The analyst noted that he doesn’t expect DOGE to perform as well as other meme-inspired cryptocurrencies with lower market caps like WIF, PEPE, and BONK, but its deep liquidity provides more of a stable investment. He also noted that DOGE and SHIB will probably take turns leading gains among meme coins.

Meme Coins Continue To Shine

The meme coin market has grown significantly since the early days of DOGE’s creation, which started out as a joke. Since then, tons of meme coins have been created, but Dogecoin continues to solidify its position as the largest meme coin in terms of market cap, demonstrating signs of renewed enthusiasm every so often.

At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.18. Data from Coinglass shows that the open interest on DOGE futures contracts is now at $1.62 billion, a 10% increase in the past 24 hours. 

Other meme coins are also witnessing strong interest. According to Santiment, SHIB, PEPE, FLOKI, and BONK have seen an increase of over 3,000% in trading volume in the past week. The on-chain analytics platform credits the increase in trading volume to surging prices and increased crowd interest.

SHIB, PEPE, FLOKI, and BONK are up by 277%, 256%, 204%, and 145% respectively in the past seven days, outperforming DOGE during the time frame.
