Dogecoin (DOGE) traded at $0.14 on Friday, up 0.25% in the last 24 hours, according to market tickers. The coin’s weekly performance showed a fall of 7.40%. Trading activity has eased sharply, with one source reporting a drop in volume of 50%.

Exponential moving averages line up as follows: EMA 20 at $0.13, EMA 50 at $0.14, EMA 100 at $0.15 and EMA 200 at $0.17. The EMA set shows a downward curve overall, and the EMA 50 is being watched closely as a short-term barrier. The coin’s market capitalization stood at $23.60 billion. Analysts Offer Targets As Price Forms Higher Lows Crypto analyst Jonathan Carter set a ladder of upside targets at $0.15, $0.18, $0.20, $0.24 and $0.28, saying that those levels correspond to past reaction points on the chart. Based on reports, Carter views price action above the 50-day average as an early sign that momentum is returning. #DOGE Descending Channel Breakout Imminent???????? Dogecoin is poised to break out from the descending channel formation on the daily chart????♂️ Price action above the MA 50 indicates a potential reversal from a prolonged downtrend structure???? Upside targets: ???? $0.153 ???? $0.182 ????… pic.twitter.com/EfRjyg6tfo — Jonathan Carter (@JohncyCrypto) January 11, 2026 DOGE has been building higher lows, which would be a positive structure if it holds. Other analysts identified the all-time high at $0.73 as a long-term reference and noted a fourfold minimum growth target from current prices under the existing trend. Open Interest Climbs While Volume Drops CoinGlass data showed trading volume down by 43% to $1.30 billion in one report, even as Open Interest rose 1.70% to $1.80 billion. Total liquidations in the last 24 hours were listed at $596K, with long positions making up $431K and shorts $165K. This split suggests more long exposure among leveraged traders at the moment. Market Structure Means A Clear Move Is Needed Traders are sizing up several clear levels. A sustained move above EMA 50 at $0.14 could invite more buyers. A failure to hold the EMA 20 support at $0.13 would raise questions about the short-term strength. While momentum indicators are neutral now, a decisive break either way would likely be followed by sharper swings given low volume.

Positions are being kept, as shown by rising Open Interest, but many market participants appear to be waiting for confirmation. If buying pressure returns and volume recovers, the analyst targets listed above could come into focus. If not, the chart may remain in a tight range for some time.

Despite high trading volumes, PumpSwap's fee generation remains modest, with $2.98 million in fees recorded on Monday.
The memecoin market went through a brutal reset in 2025, marking one of its sharpest downturns since the sector became a dominant force within crypto speculation. Following the euphoric memecoin mania that peaked and ultimately collapsed in November 2024, selling pressure steadily took control. Liquidity dried up, momentum faded, and most memecoins entered prolonged drawdowns that significantly underperformed the broader market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Data Shows Aggressive Sellers In Control As BTC Consolidates Below $90K As risk appetite weakened, memecoin dominance within the altcoin market continued to erode throughout the year. By December 2025, this dominance fell to a historical low, reflecting widespread capitulation among retail participants and a clear shift away from high-beta speculative assets. Many traders exited positions entirely, reinforcing the narrative that the memecoin cycle had fully played out. However, extreme pessimism often marks important turning points. According to an analysis by Darkfost from CryptoQuant, the current compression in memecoin dominance closely mirrors prior structural lows observed in past cycles. Notably, the last time memecoin dominance reached comparable levels, it occurred shortly before a powerful resurgence in the sector, driven by renewed liquidity, fresh narratives, and aggressive speculative flows. Memecoin Dominance Shows Early Signs of Stabilization Recent on-chain analysis highlights how far the memecoin sector has fallen relative to the broader altcoin market—and why some investors are starting to pay attention again. According to Darkfost’s framework, the key ratio compares the combined market capitalization of major memecoins against that of leading altcoins. At the height of the speculative frenzy in November 2024, this ratio climbed to roughly 0.11, meaning memecoins represented about 11% of total altcoin market value. That level reflected peak enthusiasm, heavy retail participation, and aggressive risk-taking. By December 2025, however, the same ratio had collapsed to around 0.032. In practical terms, memecoins had lost nearly two-thirds of their relative weight within the altcoin universe. This sharp contraction aligns with prolonged underperformance, capital rotation into larger assets, and widespread capitulation after months of declining prices. Importantly, recent price action suggests the bleeding may be slowing. Over the past several days, some of the largest memecoins have posted notable rebounds, hinting at renewed speculative interest. While this move is far too early to confirm a full trend reversal, it does suggest that selling pressure is no longer one-sided. For now, the data points to a tentative stabilization phase rather than a confirmed memecoin season. Still, for high-risk investors, such deeply compressed relative valuations have historically preceded sharp, sentiment-driven rallies—provided risk is managed carefully and expectations remain realistic. Related Reading: Altcoin Season Setup Advances: CEX Volume Hits Cycle Highs Despite Price Weakness Technical Rebound After A Prolonged Downtrend The memecoin market cap chart shows a clear shift in structure after months of sustained weakness. Throughout the second half of 2025, total memecoin capitalization trended decisively lower, forming a sequence of lower highs and lower lows while remaining capped below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages. However, recent price action suggests the first meaningful attempt at stabilization. The market cap has rebounded sharply from the December lows near the $35–38 billion zone and is now trading back above the short-term moving average, reclaiming the $46 billion area. This move is accompanied by a noticeable pickup in volume, indicating renewed participation rather than a purely technical bounce on thin liquidity. Related Reading: Ethereum Liquidity Rebuilds On Binance: December Inflows Signal Strategic Repositioning Despite this improvement, the broader trend remains cautious. The memecoin market cap is still trading below the longer-term moving averages, which continue to slope downward and act as overhead resistance around the $50–55 billion range. This suggests that while downside momentum has slowed, the market has not yet transitioned into a confirmed uptrend. In practical terms, the chart points to a relief rally within a broader bearish structure. For memecoins to regain sustained momentum, the market would need to consolidate above current levels and reclaim higher moving averages. Signaling that speculative capital is returning with conviction rather than opportunism. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
According to reports, Coinbase has launched regulated futures linked to Shiba Inu, opening the token to trading on a US derivatives venue. Related Reading: Analyst: Bitcoin’s Cycle Is Intact, Yet No Longer Purely Market-Driven The new products include perpetual-style contracts and monthly futures tied to what Coinbase calls the 1k SHIB index (a 1,000 token index), with trading scheduled to run 24/7. The rollout began on December 5, 2025, as part of a broader push by the exchange to add altcoin derivative listings under US rules.

Clearing and settlement are handled inside systems compatible with US oversight, and the products are described as compliant with Commodity Futures Trading Commission frameworks. What Traders And Institutions Might Do Market participants say having regulated futures can change who trades a token. Institutional desks and some large funds often need regulated venues and clearer custody paths before they increase exposure. Added liquidity and round-the-clock pricing may attract more active traders, and that could raise volume. At the same time, access to futures also makes it easier to bet against the token, which can push volatility up. Reports note that immediate moves in spot markets have been mixed, showing that access to derivatives does not automatically lift the token’s price. Because SHIB has regulated futures on Coinbase (“1k Shib Index”), it qualifies for spot ETF consideration under the same SEC pathway Bitcoin and Ethereum followed.

Shiba Inu has kept a spot in crypto talk even as its price has slid sharply. According to reports, the network had a market cap of $5 billion as of Dec. 6, and it still draws attention because people know the name. That visibility, however, does not settle the debate over whether the token belongs in a long-term portfolio. Related Reading: Bitcoin Headed For $200 Trillion? CEO Makes Bold Prediction Shiba Inu’s Price And Market Size Based on reports, Shiba Inu has seen massive moves over several years. Roughly five years ago it traded near $0.0000000001684; at the time of writing, it is quoted at about $0.000008439. SHIB’s all-time high stands at $0.00008845, which means the token trades roughly 85% below that peak. Reports have disclosed that SHIB has tanked about 55% so far this year, and some data points show almost a 60% decline over a recent 12-month span. Those drops have pushed many investors to ask whether the story that once lifted SHIB has faded. On-Chain Signals And Holder Counts There are mixed signals on the chain. Data from CryptoQuant is reported to show memecoin dominance falling to its lowest level since early 2024, a sign that speculative interest across similar tokens has ebbed. At the same time, the number of wallets holding SHIB moved from about 1.45 million at the start of the year to around 1.52 million more recently. That jump in holders was noted alongside the price slide. It suggests distribution rather than complete abandonment; small increases in holders do not always mean increased trading activity, but they can show steady retail interest. Memecoin markets are dead. pic.twitter.com/6kymLWH4JX — Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) December 11, 2025 Pundit Views And The Utility Question Meanwhile, crypto pundit Neil Patel has listed reasons he would not treat Shiba Inu as a proper investment. He argues the memecoin doesn’t solve a clear, large-scale problem and points out that developer activity for SHIB is limited compared with many other networks. The claim is that much of SHIB’s value has been driven by hype cycles and not by broad real-world use. Those views were presented in firm terms, and they have been repeated across a range of commentaries that warn about hype-driven tokens. Related Reading: Analyst: Bitcoin’s Cycle Is Intact, Yet No Longer Purely Market-Driven Investor Takeaways And Risks Investors who want exposure to crypto are often told to look at major networks such as Bitcoin for scarcity-driven arguments; that point was brought up in several reports. At the same time, SHIB’s supporting projects — a layer-two chain, a decentralized exchange, a metaverse concept — are real but appear to have small adoption so far.

Dogecoin rose 4% to trade at $0.14 Thursday, according to market reports. Market capitalization was about $21 billion while 24-hour trading volume hovered near $1.6 billion. The move followed renewed on-chain activity that has drawn attention from traders and analysts. Related Reading: Institutions Scoop Up 9,000 Ether, Fueling Bullish Signals Spike In Active Wallets Based on reports from BitInfoCharts, the number of daily active addresses on the Dogecoin network jumped to over 67,500 on December 3, marking the second-highest reading in the past three months. That earlier spike on September 15 came as DOGE briefly approached a local top near $0.30. At that time, network activity rose as prices climbed; today, rising wallet activity is being watched closely as prices test a familiar zone after a long slide. Support Holding Near $0.14 Dogecoin is sitting above an important area around $0.138–$0.14, which has been tested and defended multiple times. Reports show the token has bounced off that level before, and trading volume has more than doubled during the most recent uptick, a sign that buying interest is growing. Market feeds also report mixed short-term figures: one line shows the token down by 5% in a week while another notes a 7.5% decline over the last week; those numbers do not align and highlight some reporting inconsistencies. Longer-term data show the token has lost roughly 60% over the past year and is about 50% off its recent highs. Volume And Technical Targets Traders are eyeing $0.16 as the next meaningful resistance. Based on reports, a decisive move above that zone would be the first clear break in the short-term bearish pattern. Beyond that, the 200-day exponential moving average sits as a broader target, often watched for signals that medium-term momentum has shifted. A break above the 200-day EMA would be treated by many as confirmation that a recovery could gain traction, although history shows these signals sometimes reverse quickly. Signals Are Mixed Daily active address spikes can point to rising interest. They can also reflect simple transfers, bot traffic, or wallet reshuffles by large holders. Increased volume helps the case for buyers, but active-address readings alone are not foolproof. The current setup looks like a battleground: both bulls and bears are more active than they were a few weeks ago. That activity makes the coming days important for traders who favor short-term moves.

(@CryptoPulse9) December 1, 2025 Practical Roadblocks To Recovery Tracing crypto through mixers remains difficult, even when the ledger gives clues. Exchanges often need subpoena power, legal requests or a case number to share account details. That requirement can leave strong on-chain leads stuck if a project does not file a police report. Community investigators can point the way, but many of the next steps depend on formal legal action and cross-border cooperation. Exchange Action Hinges On Case Number After Shima handed the findings to the project team, members of the community and teams such as K9 Finance stepped in. One representative, using the handle DeFi Turtle, reached out to KuCoin to ask that the exchange freeze the suspected funds. KuCoin replied that it would require a formal law enforcement case number before taking such action, based on the messages that have circulated in community channels. Without a police report, the exchange said it could not legally provide internal records or lock the linked accounts.

Cook’s criticism centers on the idea that technical analysis alone may not be enough; a legal filing is often required to make exchanges cooperate.

Grayscale Moves To List Dogecoin And XRP Reports have disclosed that both ETFs received approval to be listed, and the paperwork was filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The move brings spot exposure to two smaller, but widely followed, cryptocurrencies into a mainstream vehicle. For many investors, that means access without directly managing wallets or private keys.

Their XRP spot is also launching on Monday. $GLNK coming soon as well, week after I think pic.twitter.com/c6nKUeDrtI — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) November 21, 2025 Market Activity Up Ahead Of Launch Trading activity in related derivatives climbed in the lead up to the announcement. Dogecoin derivatives volume increased by more than 30% to roughly $7.22 billion, based on exchange data. XRP derivatives surged as well, jumping about 51% to around $12.74 billion. Based on reports, these spikes reflect traders positioning for potential price swings around the ETF debut. Spot ETFs do not promise higher prices, but they do change who can buy the assets. Brokers, retirement plans, and funds that avoid direct crypto custody may now step in. That could affect liquidity in both the tokens and their markets. At the same time, the overall crypto market has seen pressure; reports say the launches come during a roughly six-week downturn. DOGE market cap currently at $21.4 billion. Chart: TradingView Questions Remain Over Demand And Flows Product fees, custody details, and how the trusts convert into ETF shares will shape investor appetite. Past launches of crypto ETFs showed brisk early flows for some products, while others saw muted interest. What matters for prices is not only listings, but inflows and outflows once trading begins. Related Reading: $2 Billion Gone In Minutes: Bitcoin Slide Shakes Crypto World Investors and analysts are likely to watch the first days of trading for clues.

The listing of both GDOG and GXRP on the same date marks a notable step for mainstream crypto products. According to exchange filings, the funds are structured as spot ETFs that hold the underlying tokens via custodians. While that does not remove price risk, it does make buying these assets simpler for a broad group of investors. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
According to market reports, crypto analyst Crypto Patel has put forward bold targets for Dogecoin, saying the memecoin could reach $2 and $5 this cycle. Related Reading: XRP Has Held Its Ground As Most Altcoins Fall, Market Observers Say At the time of his post, DOGE was trading around $0.17, making those estimates equal to roughly 1,076% and over 2,800% gains from that level. The call has drawn attention because it ties price hopes to repeating chart behavior rather than fresh fundamentals. Chart Patterns And Historical Runs According to the analyst’s charts, DOGE has formed a long-running descending triangle since its $0.75 peak in 2021. Traders are being shown a breakout followed by a retest pattern. Reports point to similar setups in past rallies: in 2017 DOGE moved from about $0.00022 to $0.019 — roughly 9,800% — and in 2021 it climbed from about $0.0025 to $0.75, a surge of over 32,000%. Those runs are the basis for the “fractal confluence” argument that history could repeat. DOGECOIN READY FOR ITS NEXT HISTORIC MEGA RUN ???? Breakout ✅ Retest ✅ Structure locked and loaded for a parabolic explosion! The same pattern that sent $DOGE flying in 2017, 2021 is repeating again on the monthly timeframe and this time, the move looks even more powerful.… pic.twitter.com/yZIFHthnm5 — Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) November 11, 2025 A Recent Breakout, Retest Highlighted As Trigger Based on reports, DOGE cleared the triangle in December 2024 during a US President Donald Trump-led crypto market boom, pushing above $0.48. The coin then came back to test the former trendline, which some traders call a normal step after a breakout. Other analysts have flagged similarities between today’s action and the token’s early bull runs, and some see that as confirmation for more upside. Short-Term Indicators Looking Up Technical numbers show a nearer-term forecast of a rise of 13.51% to $0.2002 by December 12, 2025. Current readings described by data providers list sentiment as Bearish and the Fear & Greed Index at 20 (Fear). Over the last 30 days DOGE had 13/30 (43%) green days and about 6.71% price volatility. Those numbers suggest that, for now, traders remain cautious even as longer-term charts are cited as bullish. Bitwise DOGE ETF Reports note that Bitwise moved forward with a DOGE ETF filing under Section 8(a) using CF Benchmarks’ settlement price, an action that could draw institutional interest if it progresses. Related Reading: XRP’s Next ‘Face-Melting’ Rally Could Hit Within 6 Weeks—Analyst Meanwhile, on-chain snapshots indicate that large holders are trimming supply, while retail activity has ticked up and some momentum indicators have turned higher. According to Bitwise, its fund would use the CF DOGE-Dollar Settlement Price from CF Benchmarks to calculate net asset value, which provides transparent, rules-based pricing across venues. If approved, this structure could make DOGE more accessible to institutions needing a regulated vehicle, potentially boosting order book depth and easing inflows or outflows. This increased access, combined with clearer pricing, could explain the recent movements in the market value of DOGE. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView
According to technical commentary from analyst Javon Marks, Shiba Inu appears to have left a long accumulation zone and may be entering a fresh bullish phase. The token first showed a breakout in March 2024 and pushed up toward $0.000046. It reached about $0.00003328 on December 8, 2024, before falling hard in 2025. Related Reading: Trump’s Bitcoin Bet Grows: American Bitcoin Now Holds Over 4,000 BTC Analyst Points To Accumulation Breakout Marks highlights early bullish signals, including what he calls bullish divergences on the MACD that showed up earlier this year. Based on reports, he expects a move back into the $0.000032 area. He even projects a potential 200% rally to that level from where the token trades now. From the current quoted price of $0.00001009, a push to $0.000080 would mean a rise of roughly 700% by his estimate. Those are large swings. Traders should note the math. $SHIB (Shiba Inu) looks to be already broken out of a key accumulation and prices, which showed bull divergences early this year, can be preparing here for an ~200% move to test a resistance in the $0.000032s again. pic.twitter.com/Xw104EUT75 — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) November 9, 2025 Derivatives Activity Shows Traders Positioning For A Move Derivatives data adds another dimension. Reports show about $76 million in open interest tied to Shiba Inu contracts. Open interest jumped 15% over the weekend, and exchanges recorded 7.38 trillion tokens as outstanding futures exposure. Gate.io accounted for 47% of that total, which equals about $36 million on that platform alone. On a day of rising bets, SHIB hit a high of $0.00001032. Volatility Has Been Extreme SHIB’s path since December 2024 has been bumpy. After peaking above $0.00003 in late 2024, the token plunged to roughly $0.0000075 during the flash crash on October 10, 2025. It later recovered to about $0.00001003. Rapid moves like these show both the risk and the chance for big short-term gains. Positions in futures can make price swings bigger. What The Signals Might Mean For Traders According to the chart reading, breaking past $0.000032 would open a clear resistance band and could attract more buyers. Some market players will treat that level as a key test. Others will watch open interest and exchange concentration for signs of overstretch. Moves driven by sentiment and leverage can reverse quickly. Gains may be fast. Losses can be fast too.

Investors and traders should weigh the numbers: $0.000045, $0.00003329, $0.000032, $0.00001003, $0.0000075, $76 million, 15%, 7.38 trillion, and 47.13% are all part of the story.

According to analyst Trader Tadrigrade, Dogecoin has been moving inside a long-running symmetrical triangle that echoes a setup seen in 2016–2017. Based on reports, the analyst used a two-month chart to compare current price action with the buildup that preceded a breakout in March 2017. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 20% – But Some Think This Is When The Real Gains Start Back then, DOGE climbed from about $0.0003 to $0.0194 by January 2018, a rally of 7%. Traders pointing to that episode say the current narrowing range looks familiar and could set the stage for a notable move. Market Moves This Month DOGE is trading at around $0.18 at the time of writing after a 20% drop so far this October. That decline contrasts with recent Octobers: a 40% rise in October 2024, a 10% gain in October 2023, and a 100% jump in October 2022. Prices have been compressing inside the triangle since late 2024, and the tighter range has increased talk among chart watchers that a breakout may be near. $DOGE/2-month#Dogecoin is following its first cycle ???? pic.twitter.com/FNFJo3C59I — Trader Tardigrade (@TATrader_Alan) October 30, 2025 Targets After A Breakout Analysts who favor the pattern point to a first target near $3.90, which would represent about a 2,000% gain from current levels if reached. Other, much bolder projections are also being shared. One chart shown by bulls extends toward $48 — a 26,500% rise — which, if circulating supply stayed near 151 billion tokens, would imply a market value near $7 trillion. That number would dwarf most global asset classes and is widely seen as highly unlikely. Reports have also referenced an $18 forecast last month, a level that would make many holders wealthy if it materialized, but it remains a long shot. Technical Patterns Versus Broader Forces Pattern recognition can offer a clear rule for traders, but charts do not capture everything that drives price. Liquidity levels, investor interest, moves in Bitcoin, and shifts in social attention all affect how far any rally can run.

According to company releases and club statements, House of Doge and Brag House Holdings, Inc. have taken a major step into Italian football by becoming the largest equity holder in US Triestina Calcio 1918. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 20% – But Some Think This Is When The Real Gains Start The move was first made public on October 20, 2025, when both firms announced the equity position and pledged immediate capital support for the club. Triestina, which was founded in 1918 and currently competes in Serie C, will carry Dogecoin branding on its match kits and around its stadium for the remainder of the 2025/26 season and all of the 2026/27 campaign. Kit And Stadium Branding Confirmed Based on reports released on October 30, 2025, Dogecoin will appear as the primary sponsor on the front of Triestina’s official match shirts. House of Doge branding is set for secondary placements, such as sleeves and shorts. LED boards inside the ground, big-screen videos and press backdrops will also display the Dogecoin motif during games and media events. These activations are part of a wider plan that includes testing Dogecoin as a payment option for tickets, merchandise and concessions. What The Announcements Leave Out The deal’s exact financial terms were not disclosed. No price tag or ownership percentage was published by either side. Reports have disclosed that a board reconstitution and the appointment of a new president are planned, but names and dates have not been shared. Push For Real-World Use Of Dogecoin House of Doge framed the investment as a chance to push Dogecoin beyond online chatter and into everyday use at a sports venue. The group said the club will act as a platform for broader community initiatives and commercial experiments with crypto payments. Fans could be given new ways to pay and buy, if pilot projects roll out as described. There is, however, a question about how smoothly such systems will be adopted in a lower-division club environment and what regulatory checks will be required in Italy. Marco Margiotta, CEO of House of Doge, said placing the Dogecoin logo front-and-center on the club’s jersey means it will show up in every match photo and TV shot. He said frequent exposure will make people recognize the brand, and that recognition can lead to practical uses and wider global acceptance.

Others warned that visibility for a cryptocurrency brand does not guarantee long-term financial stability. Market observers will be watching whether the partnership drives measurable increases in matchday revenue or merchandise sales. Community groups, who are central to the club’s identity in Trieste, have been cited as needing reassurance that traditions will be respected. DOGE Price Update Meanwhile, after sliding about 7% in the past 24 hours, DOGE is trading at $0.18. The coin is up 11% so far this year, but that still leaves it roughly 70% below its 2021 peak of $0.73. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
A Coinbase-linked wallet sent 140,033,123 Shiba Inu tokens to a burn address on October 15, removing those coins from circulation in a single on-chain move. According to records published by community burn tracker Shibburn, the wallet that carried out the transfer was newly created and had only that one visible SHIB transaction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Sheds 25% As $57M Flees Market — Can The Memecoin Recover? Etherscan data shows the address was funded by a wallet tied to Coinbase, and it currently holds 0.002 ETH, worth roughly $9. Largest Single Burn In Months The 140 million SHIB moved on Wednesday stands out as the largest one-off burn in nearly three months. Reports show the last big single send happened on July 28, when an anonymous actor destroyed 600 million SHIB. Since that July event, most individual burns stayed below 100 million until this Coinbase-linked transfer. ???????? 140,033,123 $SHIB -> transferred to dead wallet. https://t.co/EzSFusbkZa — Shibburn (@shibburn) October 15, 2025 Daily Burn Rate Jumps Based on reports from Shibburn, nine transactions that day totaled about 140 million SHIB destroyed, pushing the daily burn figure up by 222%. The tracker’s data also records a cumulative 410 trillion SHIB that have been sent to dead addresses over time. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s past transfers of around 410 trillion SHIB to a burn contract remain the largest single move toward deflation on record. Supply Still Vast Shiba Inu’s total supply remains enormous at roughly 589 trillion tokens. That scale means even large-sounding burns have only a tiny impact on the overall available supply. Market watchers point out that unless burn activity becomes sustained and much larger in scale, the supply math will not shift meaningfully. Wallet Details And Transparency Etherscan shows the burner address executed only that one outgoing SHIB transfer and nothing else. The funding trace to a Coinbase-associated wallet suggests a user on the exchange initiated the action, but the identity behind the address has not been disclosed. The post-burn balance for SHIB is zero, and the tiny ETH holding left behind makes the move appear deliberate and final. Price Action And Technical Levels Even after the large token send to the burn address, SHIB barely moved — it was trading around $0.00001049 when the burn happened, and it slipped only 0.15% over the prior 24 hours. The bigger picture hasn’t changed: roughly 589 trillion SHIB remain in circulation, so even headline-grabbing burns make only a tiny dent. This latest action is part of a string of deflation efforts, including Shibarium Layer-2 burns handled through Bone ShibaSwap, which together have removed billions of SHIB from circulation. Related Reading: Michael Saylor Issues Rally Cry To Bitcoin Army: “Starve The Bears!” Market Impact Remains Limited This event looks significant in headline terms but small when compared with the huge SHIB supply. The transfer adds to an ongoing narrative of community-led burns that keep holders engaged, yet it is unlikely to change the market trend on its own. Traders and observers will watch whether similar, larger burns follow, or if this remains a one-off action tied to a single Coinbase-funded address.

Bill Zanker, a longtime ally of US President Donald Trump, is leading an effort to raise at least $200 million to prop up the Official Trump meme coin, reports have disclosed. Related Reading: XRP Open Interest Nears $3B As CEO Sees $10B ETF Inflows Ahead The bid is being run through a vehicle called Fight Fight Fight LLC, and backers say the fundraising could climb as high as $1 billion, though the deal is not guaranteed to close. Rescue Plan Targets Market Pressure According to Bloomberg and people familiar with the effort, the token has lost most of its value since launch, sliding from $75 in January to around $8 today — a drop of more than 90%. Zanker’s pitch is to build a digital-asset treasury that would buy and support the token to steady trading and rebuild investor interest. Trump has shown visible support for the initiative; in May 2025 he met privately with leading holders after a social campaign that let top contributors win a place at a dinner. Organizers kept a live leaderboard tied to the token, but the event had little effect on price. According to Bloomberg, Fight Fight Fight LLC, issuer of the TRUMP token, plans to raise at least $200 million to establish a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) for accumulating the struggling “Trump memecoin.” The company is run by Donald Trump’s longtime associate Bill Zanker, and… — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) October 8, 2025 Token Control And Supply Issues According to Messari data, only 20% of the total supply is currently unlocked, leaving a circulating market value at roughly $1.5 billion. The remaining 80% of tokens were locked at launch and are due to be released over time. That high concentration of locked supply, much of it held by entities tied to the US President, is a persistent worry for traders because future releases could swell supply and pressure prices. Rival Token Gains Strength While the Trump token flounders, World Liberty Financial’s WLFI has pulled in major backing. Reports show ALT5 Sigma holds about $1.3 billion of WLFI. CoinGlass data indicates roughly $82 million left the WLFI perpetual market during a recent squeeze, trimming total value locked to $630 million. Community sentiment tracking slid from 79% to around 75%, and more than 4% of investors shifted from bullish to bearish on certain platforms, according to market trackers. Whales And Exchanges Active Meanwhile, Arkham Intelligence flagged that large crypto players have been accumulating WLFI in recent days, with centralized platforms like Robinhood, Bitget, Bitpanda, and Indodax investing over $30 million collectively. At the same time, exchanges including Binance, MEXC, and Coinbase pared small slices of their WLFI holdings, each selling under 1% of their reserves.

According to reports, Dogecoin faced a pullback this week even as signs of buying interest appeared on charts and in corporate coffers. Related Reading: $140K Or Bust?

The coin opened the week near $0.27 and slipped under $0.25 as sellers pressured the market. CleanCore Expands Dogecoin Treasury Reports have disclosed that CleanCore Solutions has been adding to its Dogecoin holdings and now holds more than 710 million DOGE as part of a plan to reach a one-billion coin target.

The set up involves two failed rally attempts where price climbed toward resistance but fell back, each time finding support on a rising trendline. The recent pattern began around October 4 after DOGE slid from about $0.26. Bulls pushed prices above $0.27 on October 6, but the move did not hold and the token again returned to trendline support. A Pattern With Earlier Echoes Based on reports, the same sequence showed up in late September. That episode started near $0.22 on September 26, where an initial rally stalled at about $0.234 and then retreated to support by September 28. A second try ended just above $0.235 on September 29. Price then found footing near the trendline and climbed from roughly $0.22 on September 30 to about $0.26 by October 3. The repeated failure to break support in both stretches is being read by some as evidence of steady bids at those levels. Outlook And What To Watch Market watchers say the key lines to follow are the rising support line identified by Tardigrade and the resistance zone near $0.27. A sustained move above that level would be seen as bullish by traders who use the four-hour timeframe. Conversely, a break below the trendline would remove a short-term floor that has held during the two prior episodes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks $126K — Bitwise CIO Sees $1 Trillion Wave Coming CleanCore’s ongoing accumulation is being tracked by observers who note that large buyers can change market dynamics when they buy on dips. Taken together, the chart pattern and the corporate buying give investors two ways to read the market: one is technical and favors a possible repeat of late-September strength; the other is structural and looks at steady accumulation by an institutional treasury. For now, DOGE’s mixed daily numbers show that momentum is fragile, even though both the chart and the reported treasury moves point to persistent demand at certain price levels.

Thumzup Media’s $10 million stock buyback and its move into Dogecoin mining have stirred fresh interest in DOGE, but traders are watching price action closely for confirmation before calling a rally. Related Reading: Hyperliquid’s Days Numbered? Expert Forecasts ‘Painful Death’ Market Tests Key Trend Line Reports have disclosed that DOGE recently pulled back to a demand zone that matches the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). That area is being watched as a make-or-break spot. A solid bounce from here could push Dogecoin toward $0.29 in the near term. If buyers push through the rising wedge pattern, a move to $0.40 is the next clear target. Some traders say a run to $1 is possible if momentum picks up sharply, though that would require sustained buying pressure over time. Thumzup announces $10 million share repurchase program, reflecting confidence in our long-term strategy and our commitment to delivering value to shareholders. We also highlight our digital asset treasury: ₿ 19.106 Bitcoins ~7.5M Dogecoins Read the press release:… pic.twitter.com/Z8oEKrIZz5 — Thumzup Media Corporation (@thumz_up) September 24, 2025 Thumzup’s Big Bet On Mining According to company statements, Thumzup bought DogeHash Technologies and expects the unit to own 3,500 mining rigs by year-end. The firm also holds 19 BTC and 7.5 million DOGE, the latter valued at about $1.7 million in recent reports. Donald Trump Jr. is listed as a majority shareholder of Thumzup. He is the son of US President Donald Trump, which has drawn extra public attention to the firm’s crypto moves. The buyback, set at $10 million, was described by executives as a sign they see value in the company’s shares. Institutional Demand And Treasury Moves Separate filings and disclosures show other firms are quietly building up Dogecoin stakes. Reports say CleanCore holds 600 million DOGE in a treasury program and plans to keep buying with an aim to reach 5% of the circulating supply. Treasury accumulation of that scale would remove a large chunk of coins from active trading, if the purchases continue. The launch of the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF has also been cited by market commentators as another source of growing institutional access to DOGE. Developers Push Protocol Upgrades Based on discussions in developer circles, there are proposals to add native verification of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to Dogecoin. That change would open the door for Layer-2 chains and apps that act more like smart contracts. Some of the proposals also include ways to introduce token burns tied to usage fees. If implemented, such changes could create new supply dynamics that would affect DOGE’s investment case. But these ideas are at the proposal stage and would take time to move from plan to live code. Related Reading: XRP Eyeing Explosive Move In Next Few Months, Research Shows What Traders Should Watch Volume, ETF flows, and whether Thumzup expands mining as promised will be key indicators to follow.

Institutional interest and actual protocol changes would be the bigger, slower forces that could reshape Dogecoin’s story over months rather than days.

An analyst has pointed out how a 78% price move could be coming for Pepe based on a technical analysis (TA) pattern forming in its daily chart. PEPE Is Approaching The End Of A Symmetrical Triangle In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has shared a TA pattern forming in the 1-day price of Pepe. The pattern in question is a “Symmetrical Triangle,” which forms when an asset observes consolidation between two trendlines approaching each other at a roughly equal and opposite slope. The upper line of the pattern acts as a resistance barrier, while the lower one provides support. Together, they make it so that the price remains stuck in the channel between them, and since the trendlines involved here are of the converging type, the asset’s range shrinks as it moves inside the triangle. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 13% As Whales Distribute $181 Million In DOGE An escape out of either of these bounds can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. That is, a break above the triangle can be a bullish sign, while a decline under it a bearish one. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the Symmetrical Triangle that the 1-day PEPE price is currently trading inside: As is visible in the above graph, Pepe has been stuck inside this channel since December of last year, but its price is now not far from the apex. Generally, breakouts become more likely to occur the tighter an asset’s range is, as it means retests happen more frequently. With the memecoin standing inside the narrow tip of the triangle now, its range is quite small, so an escape could be probable to occur in the near future. Symmetrical Triangles are usually considered to have an equal bias in both directions, so a possible breakout could occur in either direction for the asset. Triangle breakouts are generally of the same length as the base of the triangle (that is, the distance between the trendlines at their widest). Based on this, the analyst believes the memecoin may be gearing up for a 78% move. Related Reading: Bitcoin Touches $117,000 As Binance Records 9 Days Of Outflows It now remains to be seen how the price of the cryptocurrency will develop in the near future and which side of the Symmetrical Triangle a breakout would take place. The Symmetrical Triangle is just one type of triangles that exist in TA. Another popular variant is the Ascending Triangle, which forms when the upper trendline is parallel to the time-axis. As Martinez has pointed out in another X post, Solana has seen a breakout above such a triangle on the daily timeframe. “Solana $SOL may retest the breakout zone at $210 before pushing toward the $320 target!” explains the analyst. PEPE Price At the time of writing, Pepe is trading around $0.00001137, up more than 9% over the last week. Featured image from Dall-E, charts from TradingView.com
Dogecoin’s price action over the past week has seen it trending upwards. This movement has seen the meme cryptocurrency make a push towards the upper end of a consolidation range in the daily candlestick timeframe chart. A recent analysis shared on TradingView by The_Alchemist_Trader points to a possible shift in momentum, as Dogecoin is retesting its point of control with a bullish reaction that might push it to $0.35 in the short term and as high as $0.6 in the long term. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back Dogecoin Retesting Point Of Control According to the analysis, Dogecoin is currently testing its point of control, a high-volume resistance area that has defined much of its trading structure in recent months. This price action goes as far back as February with well-defined upper and lower trendlines. Interestingly, price action volume in the past 48 hours shows that buyers are stepping in aggressively at the mid-level of this range, which is around $0.25. This is very important, and a daily close above the point of control with strong volume would translate from range-bound movement to a defined upward rally. This bullish reaction comes after Dogecoin bounced at $0.2 last week, a move that created a solid foundation for another leg upward. Now, according to the analyst, the next thing is for Dogecoin to make a close basis above its point of control resistance. Roadmap To $0.35 Through Fibonacci Levels Fibonacci extension levels have served as reliable indicators of profit-taking and continuation levels for Dogecoin in the current cycles. As such, many analysts are fond of pointing to price targets at notable Fib levels. In this case, the analyst noted that a successful breakout above the point of control at $0.25 opens the path toward the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. This level, which is positioned around $0.35, stands out as the primary upside target in the current setup. The chart below shows a projected rally pattern for this breakout with a clear roadmap drawn to the 0.618 Fibonacci extension level. This also includes extensions to the $0.36 price level at the 0.66 Fib extension and the $0.4 price level at the 0.786 Fib extension if the momentum continues. A move toward $0.35 would represent not just a technical price target but also a strong confirmation that Dogecoin has reestablished bullish dominance above its consolidation range since February. From here, Dogecoin could start holding up above $0.3 again. Related Reading: ETF Dreams For Dogecoin: Serious Possibility Or Just Hype? Dogecoin’s short-term movement is now tilted to the upside, provided the price continues to close above the point of control with strong participation from buyers. Volume is the most important thing here, as a breakout without sufficient backing could result in a false move and cause Dogecoin to return to range trading. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is about to break above the upper trendline of its multi-month range. Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.2874, up by 12.6% and 33% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from TradingView
Ripple and its native token XRP have been given rare mainstream exposure on German finance channel Der Aktionar TV. Related Reading: XRP Poised For Amazon-Like Boom? Analyst Predicts $200 Rally In a recent segment, the hosts spoke with David Hartmann of Vontobel about the cryptocurrency’s place in global banking and how investors can access it through certificates and futures. Ripple’s Role In International Transfers According to Hartmann, Ripple has become a recognized player in international finance by offering faster settlement solutions for cross-border payments. The discussion emphasized how XRP acts as a bridge currency. Rather than converting euros into US dollars and then into yen, banks could move funds directly using XRP, cutting both cost and time from the transaction. Mainstream TV in Germany is suddenly highlighting $XRP. That’s your tell: when media ramps up, euphoria isn’t far behind. People will wish they’d acted at ~$2.84 instead of chasing at $20–30. Do your own digging, then decide. #XRP #Altseason — Digital Outlook (@digitaloutlook3) September 4, 2025 The example was simple: a German bank sending money to Japan typically needs two currency conversions, but XRP reduces it to one. Hartmann said this model positions Ripple as a service provider that eases dependency on the dollar in international transfers. Legal Clarity Boosts Confidence Reports highlighted the impact of Ripple’s recent victory in its case against the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The resolution has given XRP a degree of regulatory clarity that many institutions had been waiting for. Analysts explained that banks and large financial players are unwilling to risk billions without knowing the rules. With the legal outcome now clearer, Ripple is seen as being in a stronger position to attract institutional adoption. The commentary observed regulation of crypto is shifting from its initial “Wild West” image. Here, compliance is not just the legal requirement but also the building block of trust. For banks and investors alike, that trust may decide what projects are taken up at scale. Stablecoins And Market Risks The section also discussed the emergence of US dollar-pegged stablecoins. These instruments provide speed and lower volatility in cross-border payments but also pose risks. Market watchers cautioned that stablecoins should be completely backed by reserves like US Treasury bonds. In the absence of transparency and sound backing, investor confidence can erode rapidly. Related Reading: American Bitcoin, Backed By Trump, Ends Nasdaq Debut Up 17% Attention then turned to investment products tied to XRP. Mini futures and certificates were presented as options for those who want exposure without directly holding the token. Other dangers include fluctuations in the USD/EUR exchange rate and the fact that certificates are debt instruments tied to the issuing entity’s stability. The program closed on a forward-looking note. Ripple, with regulatory clarity on its side and a growing reputation in the payments industry, is seen as being better placed to capture institutional interest. The XRP community quickly reacted online, many pointing out that German media now gives Ripple attention that US outlets have yet to match. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Amid the controversial launch of Kanye West’s official memecoin on Solana, the crypto community has sounded the alarm for another potential celebrity token scam, with insider trading allegations outshining Ye’s party. Related Reading: Chainlink Eyes Crucial Resistance After $25 Reclaim – Breakout Or Breakdown Next? The Rise And Fall Of YZY On Wednesday night, controversial Hip-Hop artist and public figure Ye, better known as Kanye West, launched his official memecoin, YZY, on the Solana blockchain. West announced the token in his X account, posting the contract address (CA) in a picture with the caption “YEEZY MONEY IS HERE. A NEW ECONOMY, BUILT ON CHAIN.” After the announcement, the memecoin skyrocketed to a market capitalization of $3.1 billion before quickly dropping 65% to the $1.1 billion mark in the following hours. Meanwhile, YZY’s price went from an all-time high (ATH) of $3.16 to hover between the $0.95-$1.30 price range. The crypto community reported multiple red flags, including allegations of insider trading and a lawsuit waiver. Notably, the official website has a controversial waiver that raised concerns among investors. In the “What Else Should I Know?” section, the website stated that by purchasing the token, investors agree they “will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy” that they may have against any of the “Covered Parties.” “if you’re buying this ur literally giving them permission to rug you without consequences,” a community member noted. Nonetheless, investors may opt out of the dispute resolution provision by “providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access the Website,” the page reads. Ye’s Memecoin Supply Owned By Insiders Conor Grogan, director at Coinbase, estimated that at least 94% of the supply was owned by insiders, with 87% of the token being held by a single multisig wallet before it was distributed to multiple wallets. According to the “YZYNOMICS”, 20% of the token’s distribution would be for public supply, 10% for liquidity, and 70% for Yeezy Investments LLC. On-chain analytics firm Bubblemaps affirmed that “the bubble map of YZY mostly MATCHES the distribution on Kanye’s website,” cautioning that “the 17% address ‘public supply’ is UNLOCKED and can sell at any time.” Lookonchain highlighted that only YZY had been added to the liquidity pool, with no USDC, warning that the “Dev may sell YZY by adding/removing liquidity, similar to LIBRA.” Additionally, they noted that multiple insider wallets had prepared funds in advance and bought the memecoin, with one address knowing the CA and attempting to purchase YZY yesterday. The on-chain wallet tracker also cautioned that West had added 30 million YZY, worth $34 million, to the liquidity pool with a price range of $3.17-$4.49, signaling that “once the price climbs above $3.1716, he’ll start earning fees while gradually selling YZY for USDC. If the price rises above $4.4929, all 30M YZY will be sold.” Investors See Red Numbers On-chain researcher Defioasis affirmed that the YZY launch was “more of the same,” revealing that, so far, most wallets holding West’s memecoin are in the red. According to their analysis, 56,050 addresses traded the token in the past 13 hours, with 25,166, or 44.9% of the wallets, engaging in one-sided transactions. Out of these addresses, 23,723 only bought the memecoin, while 1,443 only sold it. They suggested that “some of the former may be dust addresses aimed at increasing the number of addresses, while others are either holding onto their positions or stuck in losses,” adding, “The latter are primarily project teams/large holders using multiple addresses to sell, making it harder to track them directly.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Drop Below $110,000 Despite Bounce – Is A 15% Pullback Coming? Meanwhile, 30,884 addresses had two-way transactions, with 38.07% of addresses registering realized profits. 30% of these wallets had a profit of up to $500, while only 1.31% of them had profits exceeding $10,000. Among this 1%, only 5 addresses had over $1 million in profits, with one of them being identified as an insider. On the contrary, over 60% of participants are still in a loss position, the report noted, with 28.2% of the addresses losing up to $500. By the time of the Defioasis post, one individual had lost over $1 million, while another had lost around half a million. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Qubic’s mining group has picked Dogecoin as its next target after claiming it briefly gained majority control of Monero’s network, according to reports. Related Reading: Trump Coin Jumps 10% On Canary Capital ETF Filing: Details The group said it reorganized six blocks on Monero and then asked its community to vote on which ASIC-friendly proof-of-work coin to test next. The vote came on Aug. 17. Community Picks Dogecoin Based on reports, Dogecoin won the vote with more than 300 votes. Qubic’s founder, Sergey Ivancheglo, shared that Dogecoin beat out Zcash and Kaspa in a public poll. The project says its Monero pool reached a 51% share and that it currently runs about two point three GH/s of Monero hashrate. The group calls these moves “stress tests” and says they are meant to show how its mining model works, while also using pool profits to buy and burn QUBIC tokens. The group added it does not want to destroy networks. The #Qubic community has chosen #Dogecoin. pic.twitter.com/EnevIZUAw5 — Come-from-Beyond (@c___f___b) August 17, 2025 The technical claim has sparked debate in the Monero community. Some developers and miners question whether the pool ever held sustained, uncontested control. Others say the actions — which reorganized blocks — are proof the group can alter short stretches of chain history. Either way, the interruption was enough for Kraken to pause Monero deposits while exchanges and services assessed risk. What A 51% Attack Can Do A 51% attack lets the controller reorganize blocks or stop transactions. A group that controls more than half of a network’s mining power can rewrite recent blocks, halt certain transactions, or try double-spends. Qubic’s move showed it could force a small reorg on Monero. If a similar level of control were applied to Dogecoin, the effect could be larger because Dogecoin has a market capitalization above $35 billion. Still, Dogecoin benefits from merged-mining with Litecoin and runs at a much higher hashrate, so an attack would likely cost far more. Markets and exchanges reacted quickly. Prices moved on the news and custodial services tightened checks. Kraken’s decision to pause deposits underscored how exchanges will act fast when block reorgs or other threats appear. Users and traders faced increased short-term uncertainty. Related Reading: XRP’s Toughest Bull Run Could Lead To Big Gains, Analyst Claims What To Watch Next Based on reports, the timeline is unclear but the issue raises bigger questions. Qubic has not given a clear timeline for any action against Dogecoin. Observers will watch for technical logs, more statements from the project, and any responses from Dogecoin and Litecoin developers. A Hostile Act? People will also be looking for proof that Qubic’s tests were non-destructive and for evidence about how long the pool actually held control. Most outlets call what Qubic did a 51% attack (a chain reorg), not a “hack” in the usual sense — but it’s still an attack on network consensus and many people treat it as hostile.

The memecoin market has stumbled during the latest altcoin correction, with many tokens losing both market share and prominence in the broader crypto narrative. Once the center of retail-driven hype, memecoins are now struggling to keep pace as capital flows shift toward more established altcoins and fundamentally strong projects. The momentum that propelled these speculative assets during the late stages of last year’s minor rally has largely dissipated, leaving most trading well below their recent highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Volatility Hits 2-Year Low As 30-Day Range Tightens While a handful of select memecoins continue to deliver notable gains, they remain the exception rather than the rule. The current altcoin rally has favored sectors with deeper liquidity and stronger institutional interest, pushing memecoins further into the background. This shift suggests that traders are becoming more selective, avoiding high-volatility tokens without strong catalysts. Top analyst Darkfost notes that memecoins are clearly lagging compared to the broader altcoin market, both in performance and in investor attention. Without a resurgence of hype-driven buying, these tokens may continue to underperform in the near term. For now, the memecoin market faces an uphill battle to reclaim its former momentum, as attention and capital concentrate on assets showing stronger technical and fundamental strength. Memecoins Struggle as Liquidity Flows Toward Ethereum According to Darkfost, the memecoin market is facing a challenging phase as Ethereum continues to absorb a significant share of overall altcoin liquidity. This shift has steadily reduced memecoins’ dominance relative to other altcoins, signaling a clear change in market preference. Darkfost notes that while a handful of memecoins are still delivering gains, their performance is largely anecdotal and not indicative of a broader trend. The analyst emphasizes that this is “clearly not memecoin season” and warns traders against overexposing themselves to the sector in the current market environment. Without the hype cycles and speculative inflows that typically fuel sharp rallies in this asset class, price action has remained subdued for most tokens. In contrast, capital has increasingly flowed toward Ethereum and other fundamentally strong projects that are showing momentum. Darkfost advises that caution should be the guiding principle for investors considering memecoin positions at this time. With Ethereum approaching new highs and pulling liquidity from the broader altcoin market, the conditions for a strong memecoin recovery remain limited. Looking ahead, the coming weeks will be decisive. If Ethereum breaks into uncharted territory and altcoins rally toward their range highs, some spillover effect could reignite interest in memecoins. However, without a significant shift in sentiment and liquidity distribution, the sector may continue to lag, leaving traders better positioned by focusing on assets with stronger technical and fundamental setups. Related Reading: TRON Long-Term Holders See Massive Gains As TRX Pushes Toward Multi-Year Highs Memecoin Market Cap Analysis The total memecoin market cap currently stands at approximately $70.74 billion, showing a modest +2.64% gain in the last session. Despite the recent uptick, the chart reflects a period of heightened volatility following a sharp rally in July that peaked near the $80 billion mark. Since then, the market has struggled to sustain momentum, with repeated rejections at higher levels and a gradual shift toward consolidation. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA), currently near $66.57 billion, is acting as a dynamic support level, with recent pullbacks finding buying interest around this zone. This suggests that while bullish sentiment has weakened, buyers are still stepping in to defend key support areas. Trading volume has also increased in recent sessions, indicating that market participants are actively positioning despite the broader slowdown.

For a stronger recovery, memecoin market cap would need to reclaim and hold above the $75–$76 billion area. Conversely, a breakdown below the 50-day SMA could open the door to a deeper correction, potentially testing the $64–$65 billion range. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Short bursts of buying pushed derivatives exposure higher, and that helped push DOGE back into headlines. Open Interest Breaks $3 Billion Reports have disclosed that futures traders committed roughly 14.4 billion DOGE into positions over a single day — a figure that lines up with the $3.41 billion open interest reading when priced near $0.25. That number is striking because it means a huge amount of DOGE is sitting in unsettled contracts, not just spot wallets. Some traders see this as a sign of renewed confidence. Source: Coinglass Bullish Bets And Some Caution Rising open interest alongside a rising price often shows new money is coming in, and that is what many market watchers are pointing to now. At the same time, derivatives volume on some platforms has not kept pace with OI, which can make the move fragile if momentum fades or if a large position reverses. Reports from exchange data show futures volume dipped while OI climbed, suggesting more traders are holding positions rather than actively rotating them. That dynamic raises the chance of sharp moves if sentiment flips. Analyst Targets And Market Signals According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, Dogecoin is forming a bullish flag on the hourly chart with a target set at $0.27, a view he shared publicly on X. Other market voices have pointed out that a clean break and higher trading volume would be needed to make that target more likely. $0.27 next for Dogecoin $DOGE! https://t.co/bKkOj6fz2z pic.twitter.com/Z5MXTOA2fG — Ali (@ali_charts) August 12, 2025 Related Reading: Quantum Computers No Match For Bitcoin’s Math, Google Expert Says What Traders Should Watch Next Based on data, keep an eye on funding rates, options flow, and whether futures volume begins to climb with open interest. Funding rate trends will show whether longs are paying to hold positions, and sudden spikes in liquidations can force quick reversals. Bitcoin’s moves should also be on the radar; memecoins tend to follow the big market swings. If price and OI both keep rising with stronger volume, the bullish case gains some weight. If OI rises while volume falls, the move looks more brittle. Dogecoin’s jump to about $3.41 billion in open interest and the commitment of roughly 14.41 billion DOGE into futures point to renewed trader interest.
