DOGE Token Sees 5.45% Price Drop Amid Surging $2.92B Derivatives and Whale Accumulation

Dogecoin (DOGEUSDT) experienced a 5.45% price decline over the past 24 hours, with the current price at 0.16297 USDT, opening at 0.17236 USDT. The price drop is attributed to mixed market signals, including a notable intraday volatility where DOGE saw both a "golden cross" bullish technical pattern and subsequent bearish price action. Increased derivatives open interest (up 13% to $2.92 billion), significant whale accumulation with a net inflow of $8.23 million, and a 402% surge in options trading volume indicate heightened speculative activity and uncertainty. Despite these factors and a rebound from recent lows, conflicting analyst outlooks and fluctuating trading sentiment contributed to the downward movement.

Currently, Dogecoin trades between 0.16 and 0.17 USDT with a 24-hour volume near $900 million to $1 billion, a market capitalization around $24.4 billion, daily active addresses at 33,700, and daily transactions at 14,800, reflecting ongoing volatility and strong market engagement.
