It is worth noting that both DOGE and ETH have a strong correlation with the leading digital asset. At the time of writing, DOGE’s 30-day correlation with BTC stood at 0.83 while ETH’s was as high as 0.99.

By comparison, Dogecoin rival Shiba Inu SHIB/USD exhibited one of the lowest levels of correlation with BTC at 0.53. Holders of SHIB were also in a far more dire situation, with only 24% making a profit at current prices despite a 30% rally over the last week.

Year-to-date, 2022 has turned into the “worst bear market in crypto history” as per on-chain data seen by analysts at Glassnode.

“Only 3.5% of trading days have seen larger capital outflows,” stated the analysts in a recent market report.
