Despite bullish forecasts, declining open interest and rising trading volume signal mixed market sentiment.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading just above a key technical level that could define its short-term trajectory, with analysts pointing to a potential 250% upward momentum if the $0.16 support is maintained.
As of April 3, DOGE is priced around $0.157. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has identified the $0.16 mark as a crucial support zone. According to Martinez, holding this level could set the stage for a breakout toward $0.57—representing a 250% rally from current levels.
A failure to maintain support, however, could open the door to a correction toward $0.06. For bullish momentum to gain attention, DOGE would need to clear immediate resistance levels at $0.18 and $0.21.
A break above those levels could strengthen the uptrend. In contrast, a sustained drop below $0.16 would invalidate the bullish scenario and shift market expectations toward deeper drop risk.
Derivatives Data Signals Mixed Sentiment
Despite the bullish prediction, Dogecoin’s derivative indicators are more conservative. Open interest in DOGE futures has dropped over 3% to $1.56 billion, which may indicate a potential cooling off in trader sentiment.
Trading volume in the derivatives market has increased by 40%, hitting $5.24 billion, which indicates active yet uncertain market participation. The dual sentiment indicates paying close attention to price action at the $0.16 level over the next few days.
