Following renewed optimism from investors and traders, Dogecoin (DOGE), the largest dog-themed meme coin in the crypto market, has witnessed a surge in its Open Interest (OI) as it reached its highest price in over a month. Open Interest represents the total amount of derivative contracts, such as futures and options, in the market. The recent rise in DOGE's OI suggests increased trader activity and growing market interest in the meme coin.
Dogecoin's Price Uptick Attracts Investors' Interest
Trading platform and analyst TOBTC shared this positive development on Twitter, sparking positive sentiment among Dogecoin enthusiasts within the crypto community. According to the analyst, since DOGE's price hit a 34-day high on July 20th, market traders' interest in the crypto asset has soared, resulting in a 19% spike in OI.
As of the time of TOBTC's report, the OI in DOGE had risen to almost $647.19 million, its highest level since early July. According to Coinglass, the OI currently stands at $742.21 million.

Considering the significant rise in OI, DOGE traders appear to be increasing their positions following the recent price spike to its highest level in the past month. Dogecoin's price surge on Saturday resulted in a gain of up to 18%, reaching approximately $0.133.
The price increase comes amidst a market sentiment that favors Greed, suggesting a growing bullishness in the crypto market. However, despite the optimistic sentiment, TOBTC highlighted that several crypto experts warn of possible pullbacks for DOGE, indicating the inherent volatility of digital assets.
TOBTC also noted that the price of Dogecoin has been influenced by heightened speculation regarding interest rate decreases in September and the potential for a pro-crypto stance from Donald Trump, should he win the upcoming United States Presidential election in November.
As DOGE continues to display this recent bullish move, market traders and analysts are closely monitoring the digital asset's movements, anticipating a new all-time high in the short term.
DOGE To $0.30 Could Happen In The Coming Weeks
Since the price spike over the weekend, several crypto analysts have shared their insights on the bullish move. World of Charts, a crypto analyst and enthusiast, predicts that with its current price momentum, DOGE could soon approach the $0.30 level.
According to the expert, Dogecoin is currently running a 25% profit, while breaking another resistance in its falling wedge retesting process. As a result, the analyst believes that DOGE could potentially reach $0.30 in the upcoming weeks if the retest is successful.
