Dogecoin (DOGE) continues to show strength in the cryptocurrency market, currently trading at $0.404, marking a 5.6% increase over the past 24 hours. The popular cryptocurrency has recorded an impressive year-to-date gain of over 400%, despite still trading 45% below its all-time high of $0.7316 achieved in 2021.
Market data from November 28, 2024, shows increased trading activity as Dogecoin tests a crucial resistance level at $0.40. Technical analysts, including crypto specialist Ali, have identified this price point as a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency’s near-term trajectory.
The Nordic region has welcomed its first Dogecoin exchange-traded product (ETP), launched by Valour Inc., a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies. This development marks a new milestone in Dogecoin’s institutional adoption journey. The ETP, now trading on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market, provides investors with regulated exposure to the world’s seventh-largest digital asset by market capitalization.
Trading metrics reveal strong market interest, with open interest maintaining elevated levels at $3.25 billion. While this figure represents a slight decline from the all-time high of $3.77 billion recorded on November 23, it continues to indicate robust market participation.
#Dogecoin $DOGE is at a very critical resistance point. A sustained break above $0.40 will send it to $0.43, but failing to clear the $0.40 resistance will trigger another dip to $0.36 or even $0.34! pic.twitter.com/fTqpftq3tS

Funding rates have shown an uptick in bullish sentiment, with the 8-hour open interest-weighted funding rate increasing to 0.025% on November 28, up from 0.0124% two days prior. This metric suggests growing appetite for long positions among traders as prices rebound.
The broader memecoin sector has also experienced positive momentum, with the total market capitalization reaching $115 billion, representing a 5% increase over 24 hours and a 94% gain month-to-date. Weekly transaction flows across all blockchain platforms have grown to $391 million during the week ending November 22.
Technical analysis reveals the formation of a V-shaped recovery pattern on the four-hour chart. The price currently trades above a key demand zone between $0.3915 and $0.4050, where both the 50-hour and 200-hour simple moving averages converge.
Trading volume data shows increased activity, with cumulative memecoin trading volume approaching $55 billion. This surge in volume adds weight to the current price movement and suggests strong market participation across both retail and institutional sectors.
Analyst Ali notes that a sustained break above the $0.40 level could push prices toward $0.43. However, failure to maintain this level might result in a price decline to support levels at $0.36 or $0.34.
Another market analyst, Trader Tardigrade, has identified a consistent wave pattern on Dogecoin’s macro chart. This technical formation suggests potential for continued upward movement in the coming trading sessions.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new U.S. government agency sharing its acronym with Dogecoin’s ticker, has been established, adding an interesting parallel to the cryptocurrency’s recent developments.
Price action since November 26 shows strengthening support levels, with buyers defending the $0.3915 to $0.4050 range. The presence of key moving averages in this zone provides additional technical support for the current price levels.
Market data indicates that Dogecoin’s recovery aligns with broader cryptocurrency market movements, which saw a 3.3% increase in total market capitalization to $3.32 trillion.
The launch of Valour’s Dogecoin ETP represents a key development in the asset’s institutional adoption. The press release confirms that this product is the first of its kind in the Nordic region, offering investors regulated exposure to Dogecoin’s price movements.
Current trading patterns show increased buying pressure at support levels, with technical indicators suggesting potential for continued upward movement if key resistance levels are breached.
