Dogecoin invites the bulls

CoinMarketCap’s data revealed that DOGE’s price surged by over 6% in the last seven days. In the last 24 hours alone, the memecoin’s value increased by over 2%.

At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.1252 with a market capitalization of over $18 billion, making it the 9th largest crypto.

Thanks to the recent price increase, the memecoin’s weighted sentiment went into the positive zone. This meant that bullish sentiment around the coin was dominant in the market.

Additionally, its social volume also remained high, reflecting its popularity in the market.

In the meantime, a key indicator suggested that it might be the right time to build DOGE.

Ali, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted a tweet highlighting an important development. As per the tweet, Dogecoin’s TD sequentially flagged a buy signal, suggesting that its price might rise soon. 

Is DOGE poised for a rise?

AMBCrypto then had a look at DOGE’s on-chain metrics to find out whether it’s ready for a pump. As per our analysis of Santiment’s data, DOGE’s MVRV ratio improved sharply last week, which was a bullish signal.

Additionally, DOGE’s funding rate turned red. Generally, prices tend to move the other way than the funding rate, further indicating a price increase.

However, there was a problem with the memecoin, as its open interest dropped while its price increased. This meant that there were chances for the memecoin’s price to decline.
