Dogecoin is valued at $0.192734, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3.77 billion. The token experienced a slight 0.83% decline over the past 24 hours. Dogecoin still retains a market capitalization of $28.27 billion with its circulating supply of over 146 billion DOGE coins, demonstrating its liquidity.

Derivatives Activity Indicates Market Volatility

Despite Dogecoin’s stable market presence, derivatives trading has experienced a sharp decline. Trading volumes fell by 19.88%, with options activity dropping by 58.52%. Interestingly, however, traders maintain a bullish stance, which is reflected in long/short ratios exceeding 2 on Binance and OKX.

However, liquidations show a bearish trend, with $4.21 million in long positions liquidated within 12 hours. Dogecoin’s derivatives data suggests potential volatility in the near term. Falling open interest and trading volume could signal an impending market shift.
