Everyone loves DOGEs…
A major driving force behind this surge could be the massive surge in DOGE’s trading volume. DOGE’s volume grew by more than 220% in the last day. This stood much higher than every other crypto with larger market caps.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that the community got excited and started talking about the token. This was evident from the fact that DOGE was among the top BNB chain projects in terms of social activity.

Moreover, there have been quite a few whale activities as well that might have affected DOGE’s price positively. The number of addresses holding 100 million to 1 billion DOGE increased by 5.13% over the past week. Furthermore, nearly six new whales have joined the Dogecoin network.

Considering all these developments, a DOGE price surge seems viable. Interestingly, Vitalik Buterin also recently talked about DOGE in an interview. He stated that he expects DOGE to also adopt a much more energy-efficient PoS consensus mechanism like Ethereum.

“I’d say should … as PoS matures I would expect it to increase in legitimacy over time. I hope @zcash moves over and I am hopeful @dogecoin moves to PoS soon,” — VB#mainnet2022

While these developments, DOGE’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio also moved upwards, increasing the chances of a further surge. However, DOGE’s development activity decreased considerably, which is generally a negative signal for a blockchain.
A look at the price performance…
DOGE’s daily chart also painted a bullish picture as most of the market indicators were in favor of the coin. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) registered upticks, suggesting a further price surge.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also displayed a bullish crossover, indicating a buyers’ advantage in the market. However, the 20-day EMA was below the 55-day EMA, which might restrict DOGE’s price from moving further up.
