Unsurprisingly, the price of the meme coin has been reflecting the growth seen by its open interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This recent <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/dogecoin\/dogecoin-price-breaks-new-3-year-high-here-are-factors-that-could-drive-the-price-to-1\/\">bullish momentum pushed the price of DOGE to break the $0.22<\/a> mark, its highest point in three years. However, the question is \u2013 how far can this rally go for the foremost meme token?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dogecoin Open Interest Breaks Above $2 Billion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/DOGE\">data from CoinGlass<\/a>, the Dogecoin open interest broke through the $2 billion mark on Friday, March 29. Although DOGE\u2019s open interest stands at around 1.96 billion at press time, it rose as high as $2.21 billion on Friday, a new record for the meme coin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Open interest is a metric that measures the total number of futures or options contracts of a particular cryptocurrency (Dogecoin, in this case) in the market at a given time. It provides insight into the amount of money investors are pouring into DOGE derivatives at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The meme token\u2019s open interest <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/dogecoin\/dogecoin-open-interest-record-2\/\">has had quite a performance since the start of March<\/a>. DOGE\u2019s open interest rose to $1.6 billion (an all-time high at the time) earlier in the month before retracing to below $1 billion by March 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is worth noting that there has been a high correlation between open interest and Dogecoin\u2019s price, with both climbing at the same time and at almost the same pace. Typically, a rising open interest can suggest a continuation of the trend around the asset\u2019s price at the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/dogecoin-open-interest-500-million\/\">current high open interest<\/a> for DOGE could mean a rapid price movement for the meme coin in the near future. However, it would be difficult to tell the direction in which this spurt of volatility would take the price of Dogecoin, especially as open interest is not the most optimal indicator of trends or price action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DOGE Price Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As of this writing, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/big-money-eyes-dogecoin-whale-activity-explodes-600\/\">Dogecoin price<\/a> stands at $0.204, reflecting a 4.6% decline in the last 24 hours. While the meme token\u2019s price has somewhat struggled since hitting the three-year high, it has managed to retain most of its profit from the past week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to CoinGecko data, the Dogecoin price is up by a whopping 18% in the past seven days. This positive performance has strengthened DOGE\u2019s position as the largest meme coin in the market, with a market capitalization of $29 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center\">Dogecoin price sees slight correction on the daily timeframe | Source: DOGEUSDT chart on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/l5t5ih3u\/\">TradingView<\/a><\/pre>\n<p><em>Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: The article is provided for educational purposes only.
