Dogecoin Sees Bullish Spike In Volume Despite Fierce Competition From Shiba Inu And Other Meme Coins

Dogecoin has been in a bearish sentiment among investors in the past week that even a tweet from Elon Musk referencing the cryptocurrency earlier in the week failed to do much to cause a price reversal. However, recent transaction volume indicates this might be changing into a bullish sentiment soon, as Dogecoin is finally getting some traction after a week of what seemed like an eternity of corrective price action. 

According to data from CoinGlass, Dogecoin trading volume on the derivatives market is currently up by 23% in the past 24 hours to reach $3.96 billion. Similarly, Coinmarketcap shows a 16% increase in the spot market, with the price of DOGE once again surpassing the $0.15 threshold.

Bullish Spike In Volume For DOGE

Dogecoin is currently experiencing fierce competition in the meme coin space. Coins like Shiba Inu, Floki Inu, Dogwifhat, and others are gaining major hype and popularity, threatening DOGE’s dominance. Furthermore, recent bearish action in the wider crypto market has seen DOGE losing bullish steam and reversing most of its price gains in March. 

Although the meme token continues to find itself in a bearish state, it has attracted an uptick in trading volume in the past 24 hours. A breakdown of the $3.96 billion in the DOGE derivatives market reported by Coinglass shows the majority of action coming from crypto exchange Binance with $1.94 billion in trading volume. Next is OKX, which has registered a $1.13 billion trading volume in the past 24 hours. Bybit and BingX come in third and fourth, with $538.84 million and $137.61 million respectively. 

At the same time, Coinmarketcap reports a 16% increase in the spot market to $2.35 billion in the past 24 hours. Most of this also came from Binance, with the DOGE/USDT pair experiencing a $444 million trading volume in the past day.

Will Renewed Interest Lead To Sustained Dogecoin Price Rally?

As expected, the uptick in trading volume has led to a corresponding price increase for DOGE. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1533 and is up by 6.06% in the past 24 hours. However, the next few days will be crucial in seeing if this volume spike translates into a sustained price rally.

If trading volume continues to increase and Dogecoin can break through resistance levels at $0.16 and $0.17, it may be able to start climbing back to its previous monthly high of $0.22. Shiba Inu and Dogwifhat are up by 4.5% and 16%, respectively, in the same time frame. 

According to Whale Alerts, a private whale wallet acquired 100 million DOGE tokens worth $15.2 million from crypto exchange Robinhood in the past 24 hours.
