Despite a general decline in the crypto market, Dogecoin, a leading meme coin, has shown resilience with a 3.5% surge in the last 24 hours. This positive movement comes as Bitcoin experiences an 11% drop from its weekly high, currently trading at $42,700 compared to $48,400.
According to data from TheCoinMonitor, a significant amount of Dogecoin ($DOGE), approximately $413.1k, entered long positions on Binance Futures today at a price of $0.081. This influx of funds into long positions is considered an extremely bullish signal for the meme coin. Following this development, the price of Dogecoin surged to reach as high as $0.084 before experiencing a slight retracement and currently trading at $0.0824.
As per CoinGecko, Dogecoin (Doge) holds a market capitalization of $11.8 billion, positioning it as the 11th largest cryptocurrency globally. Analysts are optimistic, anticipating a significant upswing in the meme coin’s valuation in the days ahead.
Dogecoin’s Path to $1: Challenges and Opportunities Ahead
The recent decline in Bitcoin’s price following the spot Bitcoin ETF approval is seen by some as a positive development for Dogecoin. This shift could lead to a rotation of market capital towards altcoins and meme coins. While several large-cap and mid-cap cryptocurrencies have experienced robust breakouts, analysts suggest that Dogecoin ($DOGE) might be next in line.
However, Dogecoin faces hurdles and needs to overcome strong resistance levels to initiate a rally. Technical analysis on TradingView indicates that $DOGE is currently underperforming key moving averages in the daily timeframe, displaying a “Sell” signal. Even in the weekly timeframe, bullish momentum would require overcoming significant resistance levels, including the 100-week Exponential Moving Average and the 200-week simple and exponential moving averages.
To launch a bullish trajectory, Dogecoin’s price would need to close above the $0.106 mark. Many anticipate that support from Elon Musk, a long-time supporter of Dogecoin, could play a crucial role. Musk recently affirmed his substantial holding of $DOGE and hinted at Dogecoin’s potential involvement in his company X’s upcoming peer-to-peer payments infrastructure. However, this scenario depends on the resolution of Musk’s ongoing $258 billion lawsuit, accusing him of artificially inflating $DOGE’s price.
Dogecoin investors are also eyeing the upcoming Doge-1 satellite launch scheduled for February 3rd. Analysts, including Cephii, anticipate that this event could inject fresh momentum into Dogecoin’s price rally.
While achieving $1 this month seems unlikely, Dogecoin enthusiasts believe the top meme coin is poised for a significant surge in 2024.
