  • DOGE hints at a 30% rally in the coming days
  • Dogecoin blazes past Polkadot with a wide difference seen at around $576.235 million
  • DOGE price spiked by 2.25%

According to CoinMarketCap, DOGE price has surged by 2.25% or trading at $0.05813 as of press time. The recent decline seen in August has propelled many traders to buy DOGE at a low price.

Bulls To Overtake Bears With 30% Rally

Judging by the 8-hour chart, the Fibonacci Retracement tool shows the August high registered at around $0.092, and it’s recent low spotted at $0.054, demonstrating a retracement by 63.4% at the $0.08 level.

DOGE’s sudden spike may be due to the increase in volume seen in the past few days. The meme coin’s trading volume is seen to bolster from 202.16 million hitting 344.5 million. One of the reasons for DOGE’s growth could be attributed to the meme coin exhibiting an uptick in its volume over the past couple of days.

The volume grew from 202.16 million all the way to 263.32 million at press time. And it’s not just the trading volume that has shown remarkable growth, the active wallet addresses increased as well. The dynamic wallet addresses increased from 113k on September 15 to 120k on September 18.

The velocity of Dogecoin also ramped up which implies an increase in buying and selling activity.

Dogecoin Social Metrics Drop

Another bad news is that the whales’ interest in DOGE seems to have tapered off in August with the number of wallets dropping as much as 13.04% in the past 30 days.

Polkadot has also shown some turbulence in terms of volatility and also social media metrics which could be the primary reason why traders seem to have been shying away from the token.

Overall, traders are said to remain cautious as meme coins are known for their extreme volatility. Even DOGE prices can change abruptly with any new updates or even some announcements from Elon Musk.
