Dogecoin Surges 37% as ETF Filing Sparks Investor Interest

Dogecoin has recently surged in price, increasing by 37% over the past week. This surge is largely attributed to the filing of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) by 21Shares with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which has reignited investor interest in the memecoin. The price of Dogecoin has reached $0.24, driven by over $14 million in short liquidations, which has further fueled the momentum.

Technical indicators suggest that Dogecoin has the potential for further bullish movement. The price spike has confirmed a head-and-shoulders breakout, and a bullish flag pattern is now evident on the charts. According to the analyst's forecast, the price of Dogecoin could target $0.28 next, followed by $0.30. However, there is a potential for volatility as nearly 96 million DOGE tokens could be unlocked between May 12 and May 19. This unlock event could introduce uncertainty and lead to sharp price swings, potentially dropping the price to $0.21.

Despite the potential for volatility, the current market sentiment remains optimistic. The memecoin’s market cap has risen by 29.2% to $35.27 billion, even as 24-hour trading volume dipped by 13.73% to $2.72 billion. Investors are closely watching the price movement, as the ETF filing and technical indicators suggest a bullish outlook for Dogecoin. However, the upcoming token unlock event could introduce significant volatility, and investors should be prepared for potential price swings.
