Meanwhile, crypto trader YG Crypto analyzed Dogecoin’s recent performance, which saw a dramatic 40% price drop after reaching $0.228.
Despite the sharp decline, Dogecoin is still trading above the crucial support level of $0.112-$0.123, which previously prevented a steeper fall. YG Crypto suggests that this support level could serve as a potential springboard for a rebound.
However, a break below this support could indicate further downward pressure.

Why It Matters: IntoTheBlock data shows a 36.2% surge in Dogecoin’s large transaction volume to $1.32 billion, while daily active addresses increased by 8.9% to 54,630. Transactions greater than $100,000 rose from 407 on April 29 to 490 on April 30, and total exchange inflows increased from $21.9 million to $30.5 million.
However, the recent price drops have reduced the percentage of Dogecoin holders currently in profit from 83% to 78%.
Shibariumscan data points to a surge in active accounts, from 1,724 on April 29 to 3,650 on April 30. Transaction fees have also witnessed a substantial increase, rising from 12.07 BONE to 61.47 BONE.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1274 and SHIB is trading at $0.000022, down 0.9% and 3.9% on the day, respectively.
What’s Next: The influence of meme coins and Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
