Despite broader market consolidation, Dogecoin (DOGE) is displaying signs of a potential price breakout, as analysts predict a surge toward $5.60 amid a notable increase in open interest.
Rising Open Interest and Bullish Outlook
At the time of writing, Dogecoin’s price is trading at $0.1569, reflecting a 3.3% increase over the past 24 hours. Despite remaining within a narrow price range, the digital asset has shown resilience, having previously dipped to $0.1532. Analysts point to rising open interest in the futures market as a key indicator of a possible breakout. According to Coinglass, Dogecoin’s open interest has surged over 5% within 24 hours, now reaching 9.87 billion DOGE, valued at approximately $1.54 billion.
Leading exchanges, including Binance, OKX, and Bybit, have reported the highest open interest levels for DOGE. While the asset’s spot price remains relatively stable, this surge in open interest suggests that traders are becoming increasingly confident in Dogecoin’s potential.
$5.60 Price Target
While Dogecoin is still significantly down—78.71% from its all-time high (ATH) of $0.7376—market analysts are forecasting a dramatic price increase. Influential market observer, Dogegod, recently told his followers on X (formerly Twitter) that he anticipates DOGE could reach $5.60. While he did not provide a timeline, Dogegod emphasized Dogecoin’s consistent pattern of breaking through falling wedge formations, which has historically indicated bullish momentum.
Other analysts, such as Ali Martinez, have also made optimistic predictions, with some suggesting a more immediate price rally to $0.29.
Market Factors and the Path Ahead
Despite Dogecoin’s impressive outlook, the broader market’s slowdown could potentially pose challenges for its price trajectory. Nevertheless, key metrics such as a 6% increase in trading volume—now over $586 million—suggest strong retail interest in the token. This growing demand, coupled with the rise in open interest, paints a positive picture for DOGE’s near-term performance.
In addition, Dogecoin remains a prominent altcoin in discussions around exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Recently, 21Shares filed for a spot Dogecoin ETF, marking the latest move by asset managers to tap into the growing interest in the memecoin. The approval of such a fund could bring institutional capital into the market, further fueling the potential for Dogecoin’s price to soar.
