Dogecoin on-chain metrics support recovery
Three on-chain metrics support a recovery in the meme coin’s price - Active Addresses, DOGE distribution and Transaction Volume. Based on Santiment data, there is a bullish divergence in Dogecoin’s active addresses and transaction volume. While DOGE price dropped between December 10 and 18, Active Addresses climbed, a similar trend is observed in Transaction Volume.
The rise in both the metrics cannot directly be attributed to profit-taking, however DOGE price declined by 12% between December 10 and 18. The bullish divergence could be a sign of increased demand for the asset, from market participants.
In the same timeframe, large wallet addresses holding DOGE were shedding their holdings and distributing them amongst smaller retail holders, this is likely another factor that contributed to the rise in active addresses and transaction volume.

DOGE price eyes comeback above $1
According to IntoTheBlock data, DOGE price is above major support zone between $0.073 and $0.085. At the time of writing, DOGE price is $0.088. At the current price, nearly 78% wallet addresses holding DOGE are sitting on unrealized gains.
DOGE price faces key resistance in the range $0.092 to $0.097. Once the meme coin flips this resistance into support, a revisit to the $1 level is likely.
