Dogecoin open interest hits $1.55 billion, indicating increased market activity. Technical signals hint at short-term bullishness
The Dogecoin open interest rose to a new all-time high earlier in March, and while there has been a small retracement, the open interest has continued to maintain very high record levels since then. Given this continuous high level, it could point to where the price of the meme coin is headed next using historical data. Dogecoin Open Interest Maintains High Level Open interest is a measure of the total number of futures or options contracts of a particular coin in the market at a give time. It can help to tell how much money is flowing into that particular asset, thereby revealing if there a high or love interest in the asset.

A natural consequence of this was that the price was also climbing at the same time as the open interest and thus, there is a high correlation between open interest and price. The DOGE open interest hit a new all-time high of $1.47 billion on March 5, and the meme coin has not looked back since. Despite a small decline in the following days, the open interest is rising once again, reaching $.144 billion on March 14 and taking the price with it. While the rise in open interest does point to a lot of bullishness in the market, historical performance during times like these also calls for caution. Taking a look at what happened the previous times that the Dogecoin open interest hit new all-time highs could give an idea of where the price is headed next. Where Can DOGE Go From Here? Over the years, there have been various points at which the Dogecoin open interest has reached new all-time highs and a trend has emerged, in a manner of speaking. Looking as far back as 2021 when the open interest hit ATHs multiple time, this trend plays out similarly. A sustained rise until a new all-time high is reached, with the price rising along, and then followed by a crash in open interest, as well as price. This was the case in September 2021 when the open interest reached a new all-time high and then again in November 2021 when it clocked another ATH.

These crashes almost always affect the DOGE price as well, causing it to drop to the levels before the surge in open interest. If this pattern holds this time around, then a crash might be ahead for the Dogecoin open interest and the DOGE price by extension. A likely scenario is a 20% drop that could send the DOGE price back toward $0.15 before the crypto market picks up steam once again.

Dogecoin is trading at key demand levels after two weeks of massive selling pressure, with bears pushing DOGE down more than 30%. The meme coin sector has been hit the hardest during this market-wide correction, which began in mid-January, and as the market leader, Dogecoin has suffered the most.

Investors have started to question the sustainability of the meme coin rally, especially as sentiment continues to weaken across the board. Glassnode metrics confirm this downward trend, revealing that Dogecoins open interest has dropped by 67% over the past three months. With DOGE now at a critical level, traders are watching whether bulls can step in to hold support and push prices higher. If buying pressure returns, Dogecoin could start a strong recovery rally, but if the trend continues, further liquidations and losses could follow. The next few days will be crucial as investors assess whether DOGE can recover or extend its decline in this volatile market. Dogecoin Faces Selling Pressure After this week’s market breakdown, Dogecoin has struggled to reclaim key price levels and still faces a serious risk of further declines. The meme coin sector has been one of the hardest-hit areas in the crypto space, with analysts blaming speculative meme coin trading as a key factor behind the broader crypto correction. As sentiment weakens, DOGE and other meme coins continue to lose ground, unable to recover from massive sell-offs. Top analyst Ali Martinez shared Glassnode data on X revealing that Dogecoins open interest has declined by 67% over the past three months. Open interest fell from an all-time high of $4.07 billion to just $1.33 billion today, highlighting that traders have lost interest in DOGE and that speculation has dried up. This data confirms the negative environment surrounding meme coins, and as the market leader, Dogecoin is setting the tone for the entire meme sector, which continues to struggle. For DOGE to regain momentum, bulls must step in and defend key demand levels. A break below current support could lead to even more selling pressure, while a reclaim of higher resistance levels could signal a potential recovery rally. With open interest and volume declining, Dogecoin remains in a critical position, and the next few weeks will determine whether bulls can take back control or if the downtrend will continue.

Bears remain in control, and momentum continues to push the price into lower levels, making it difficult for bulls to reclaim strength. DOGE has been in a steady downtrend, struggling to gain traction as meme coins face increasing selling pressure across the market. If bulls want to regain control, DOGE must push above the $0.24 level and hold it as support. Reclaiming this level would signal short-term strength and could trigger a relief rally toward higher resistance zones. However, with market sentiment still bearish, a breakout seems unlikely unless overall conditions improve. On the downside, if DOGE fails to hold current levels, a drop toward $0.15 could be expected. This level represents a significant psychological and technical support, but losing it would put DOGE in uncharted territory for this cycle. With open interest declining and liquidity drying up, bulls need to step in soon, or the downtrend could accelerate.

Data shows the Dogecoin Open Interest has seen a large drop recently. Here’s how the trend has compared for Shiba Inu and other memecoins. Dogecoin Has Witnessed A Decline In Open Interest Recently In a new post on X, the analytics firm Glassnode has discussed about the latest trend in the Open Interest for the various memecoins in the cryptocurrency sector. The “Open Interest” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the total amount of positions related to a given asset currently open on all derivatives exchanges.

This represents a decrease of around 58.4%. DOGE isn’t the only memecoin that has gone through a futures flush in this period, however, as the second chart shared by the analytics firm shows. From the graph, it’s apparent that Pepe (PEPE), Bonk (BONK), and dogwifhat (WIF) have all seen a cooldown in Open Interest during the last couple of months. The decline has even been more pronounced than DOGE’s for all of these, as the metric has fallen by more than 69% for them. Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Floki (FLOKI) have likewise followed suit, with the indicator declining by 74% and 69%, respectively. While speculative activity on the futures market has taken the deep dive across the memecoins, it appears the trend has been different for other parts of the cryptocurrency sector.

Here is a chart that the analytics firm has shared in another X post, which shows how the percentage change in the Open Interest has compared between meme-based assets and three of the top coins (Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL)): As displayed in the above graph, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have registered a drop of 11%, 23%, and 6% on the metric, respectively. Clearly, this is significantly less than the 52% crash that the memecoin market combined has observed. DOGE Price Dogecoin has been locked in sideways movement during the last couple of weeks as its price is still trading around $0.25.
