Dogecoin (DOGE), the Shiba Inu-themed memecoin, finds itself in a curious situation. While the number of holders and overall interest in DOGE surges, its price has experienced a significant drop in the past week.<\/p>\n
This inconsistency reflects the broader volatility of the memecoin market, currently experiencing an influx of novice traders.<\/p>\n
IntoTheBlock, a blockchain analytics firm, revealed a record number of addresses holding memecoins for less than a month in March.<\/p>\n
This trend suggests a surge in new investors drawn to the memecoin craze. However, Dogecoin, despite leading the pack in terms of both traders and transactions, has seen its price tumble by over 20% in the last week.<\/p>\n
Technical indicators paint a concerning picture for DOGE’s immediate future. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which measures buying and selling pressure, has dipped below zero, indicating an outflow of capital and a bearish sentiment.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the On-Balance Volume (OBV), reflecting buying pressure over time, has also declined, further confirming a downtrend. This combination of falling prices and declining trading volume could exacerbate the drop and weaken DOGE’s support levels.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency analyst Trader Mayne remains bullish on DOGE. He believes the memecoin could experience a significant price increase if it can hold its current support levels. However, Mayne’s prediction hinges on DOGE’s ability to defy the current bearish technical indicators.<\/p>\n

Big spot here for Doge imo.<\/p>\n
Bulls really want this area to hold, I think losing support here opens the door for a much larger correction.<\/p>\n
RR skewed positively for longs, if we hold and can reclaim that old high the party continues. pic.twitter.com\/HgSX60XuXv<\/a><\/p>\n
