Bitcoin’s rebound above $76,000 last week spilled over into the meme-coin market: Dogecoin jumped more than 10% over seven days, sparking renewed trader interest and a sharp rise in derivatives activity.
Open interest hits two-month highs
As DOGE pushed past the $0.10 mark, open interest in Dogecoin futures climbed rapidly, reaching levels not seen in over two months. Data from on-chain tracker Coinglass shows open interest briefly topped $1.4 billion and, although it has dipped since, remains north of $1.2 billion — a sign that traders are still committed to positioning around the token.
What higher open interest means
Historically, rising open interest often accompanies price advances, as new money enters the market. That means continued price strength could sustain or even grow open interest. Conversely, a sharp price drop could trigger liquidations and a rapid fall in open interest.
Volume pullback may be healthy consolidation
Trading volume has eased as DOGE’s price paused, but crypto analyst “The Alchemist Trader” interprets that as consolidation rather than the start of a downtrend. The analyst points to DOGE holding support above $0.07 as a bullish structural signal: “From a technical standpoint, as long as Dogecoin holds above the $0.07 support level, the structure remains favorable for a bullish breakout,” they wrote.
Potential upside — and a warning
According to the analyst’s chart, a renewed volume influx could fuel a breakout and deliver more than 40% upside from current levels — a scenario that would put DOGE back into the low double-digit cents. As always, market dynamics can pivot quickly, and derivatives-heavy rallies carry risk of sharp reversals if sentiment shifts.
