Dogecoin Shows Bullish Momentum After High-Volume Surge
Dogecoin (DOGE) is positioned for further gains, with strong support around $0.21 and resistance near $0.24.
The popular meme coin climbed to $0.24 on nearly double its average monthly trading volume, suggesting growing institutional interest driving the recent price move.
Market Highlights
- The Federal Reserve indicated a softer regulatory approach toward crypto banking, while Wyoming introduced the first state-backed stablecoin, boosting confidence in digital assets.
- Thumzup, affiliated with former President Trump, finalized a $50 million acquisition of Dogecoin miner Dogehash, creating what is believed to be the largest DOGE mining operation.
- SoFi became the first U.S. bank to adopt Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for remittances, marking a significant step toward mainstream crypto infrastructure adoption.
- Whale wallets accumulated 680 million DOGE tokens through August, signaling steady institutional inflows amid retail-driven price swings.
Price Performance
- DOGE rose 8% between August 22 and 23, moving from $0.22 to $0.24 within a $0.02 trading range.
- The most notable surge occurred at 14:00 GMT on August 22, with DOGE jumping from $0.21 to $0.23 on a volume of 4.27 billion tokens—nearly four times the hourly average, according to CoinDesk Research.
- Support has been firmly established at $0.21 following a retest, while resistance capped gains at the $0.24 psychological level.
- A late-session push added 1% from $0.23 to $0.24, backed by a volume peak of 28.1 million tokens at 04:52 GMT, confirming strong accumulation.
- The formation of consecutive higher lows suggests sustained buying interest and a potential continuation of the bullish trend.
Market Outlook
DOGE’s breakout coincides with a broader crypto market recovery, driven by renewed risk appetite across equities and digital assets. Key drivers include Fed policy adjustments, state-level stablecoin launches, and significant mining acquisitions, all fueling greater institutional participation in what is often seen as a retail-driven token.
The $0.24 resistance remains a pivotal level. A confirmed breakout could propel DOGE toward $0.26, while failure to break higher may lead to retesting support at $0.21.
