DOGE ’extremely quiet’ social chatter could be an opportunity: Analyst
Dogecoin crowd sentiment is at a low point, which could point to a buying opportunity before the crypto market starts moving higher again, according to Santiment.
A decline in social media posts and overall sentiment around Dogecoin could signal a buying opportunity for traders, according to crypto analysis firm Santiment.
“Crowd sentiment has been near its lowest point over the past year,” Santiment said in a Jan. 9 report.
The analysis firm gave Dogecoin DOGE $0.3386 a “bearish” crowd sentiment rating of 1 out of 5, which is significantly lower than the 4 out of 5 ratings for XRP XRP $2.34 and Solana SOL $194.16.
Being bullish on DOGE during an ‘extremely quiet’ period could
pay off
However, Santiment believes there is potential for “some nice upside” to be a “daring contrarian” toward Dogecoin if the crypto markets begin to trend upward again.
“Crypto’s top memecoin has been extremely quiet outside of a temporary run-up at the beginning of the year (coinciding with Elon Musk’s brief handle change to ‘Kekius Maximus’). Since its top exactly one month ago, Dogecoin has shed -28% of its market cap.”
At the time of publication, Dogecoin is trading at $0.34, down 15.33% over the past 30 days, according to CoinMarketCap.
Other memecoins within the top 100 cryptocurrencies have also seen declines over the same period.
Shiba Inu SHIB $0.00002123, the 16th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is down 15.92%, while Pepe PEPE $0.00001793 is down 22.17%.
Despite the current lack of hype on social media, some traders believe Dogecoin could be one of the top performers of 2025.
