Dogecoin price could continue its downtrend
Amidst a marketwide crash, Dogecoin witnessed a decline in its capitalization, after 5.3% was shaved off of its market cap. Despite the price drop, Dogecoin witnessed a spike in its on-chain activity, with trade volume shooting up 200% overnight.
The meme coin emerged as one of the trending cryptocurrencies on Twitter based on data from Cointrendz. With Dogecoin’s recent price drop, $13.69 million in DOGE futures were liquidated as the meme coin continued its downward spiral.
Michaël van de Poppe, a cryptocurrency trader and analyst believes we are close to the end of the downward run. Capitulation may have occurred already, given altcoins are in a bear market for over a year.
