Dogecoin (DOGE), the original meme coin, continues to capture investor interest with its strong price action and large, engaged community. At the time of this writing, DOGE is trading at $0.115, still holding above a key support level of $0.11.Â
Current trading patterns suggest that Dogecoin is about to rebound from the recent decline. Over the last day, DOGE has witnessed a rise in its trading volume by 72.52% and is now standing at $939.75 million. This rise indicates that traders are again showing interest, which may mark a cryptocurrency reversal.
Crypto analysts are weighing in on the current market conditions. According to the analyst Ali Martinez, the TD Sequential indicator has indicated a buy signal. He thinks the recent bear market may have bottomed out thus it is a good time for investors to go long. New entrants normally increase demand which might lead to price increases.

Institutional interest and on-chain activity
On-chain metrics also point to increased engagement from whale investors in Dogecoin. Recently, 700 million DOGE was transferred from two wallets whose owners are unknown to this day, equal to $78.68 million. Although such movements may indicate a change in market direction, it is still uncertain whether this transaction is part of a larger strategy.

At the same time, Dogecoin has continued to attract attention from institutional investors. Since DOGE is a proof-of-work (PoW) coin, it provides a new option for institutional investors interested in expanding their mining operations. At the moment, the Dogecoin network has a hash rate of over 1.3 PH/s, and a mining difficulty of more than 18.9 M. This network strength makes Dogecoin a good candidate for holding in the long-term in the overall altcoin market.
Community grows and active addresses increase
One major reason why Dogecoin is still popular today is the support it receives from celebrities, particularly Elon Musk. The tech billionaire has been an advocate of Dogecoin and has suggested that he may accept the digital currency as a form of payment in his firms; Tesla and X. Muskâs continued backing has also helped to solidify DOGE as a payment method within the cryptocurrency space.
The Dogecoin community has also expanded to over 7.4 million people who hold the currency. The daily active addresses, as per the Santiment data, have reached about 133,880, which is the highest in eight months. This rise in network activity implies that there is more interest among investors as more investors interact with DOGE, leading to higher liquidity and price stability.
