Significant Increase in Dogwifhat Open Interest Amid Price Decline

The open interest for Dogwifhat has surged following a dip in its price, which has been trading below $1.90 since August 25. A trader has indicated a potential reversal pattern in the market.

Futures traders are boosting their positions in Dogwifhat, a memecoin based on the Solana blockchain, as analysts observe a potential reversal pattern while the asset trades 66% lower than its all-time high reached in March.

Since August 31, the open interest (OI)—which represents the total number of Dogwifhat futures contracts that are yet to be settled or expire—has risen by 16%, amounting to $231.48 million, according to data from CoinGlass here.

Market Sentiment Regarding Potential Price Reversal

As of now, Dogwifhat’s price has fallen by 17% since August 25, currently standing at $1.57. It has remained below the $1.90 mark for a ten-day span, based on data from CoinMarketCap here.

The stagnant price movement has led some traders to speculate that a price rebound to $2.40 could be imminent—a level untouched since July 30.

A pseudonymous analyst known as Bluntz highlighted on September 3 that the price has shown a “perfect channel retest” for Dogwifhat. He expressed confidence in an upcoming V-shaped reversal.

Since September 4, Dogwifhat has achieved a total trading volume of $327.6 million, which is approximately twice that of Shiba Inu (SHIB), the second-largest memecoin by market capitalization, which recorded $160.5 million during the same 24-hour timeframe.

Additionally, another trader, zer0, suggested on September 4 that Dogwifhat appears to be poised for further upward movement, adding a hint of humor by asking, “Is the hat still on?”

Performance Overview: Yearly Trends and Future Prospects

Despite a strong start to the year, Dogwifhat has experienced a decline of nearly 66% from its all-time high of $4.70 recorded on March 31. During this period, analysts were even optimistic, suggesting that the asset could double its peak value.

A crowdfunding initiative aimed to display a Dogwifhat mascot on the Las Vegas sphere gathered nearly $700,000 but has yet to be realized. The organizers remain hopeful about its future.

In mid-March, Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, commented on the price trajectory, indicating a potential upward trend ahead.

Although the year commenced with high expectations, the anticipated altcoin rally has not materialized as many had hoped.

According to a recent analysis, the anticipated altcoin season may not unfold as previously expected, with the influx of new traders purchasing speculative assets too early in the cycle.

“The joke has been told; everybody knows the punchline, and they’ve just gone straight to the punchline, and it is just not funny anymore,” remarked Glassnode’s lead analyst, James Check, in a recent podcast discussion.
