Dogecoin Is 'The Easiest Play, 'Will 2x Instantly' Once It Starts Moving, Bullish Traders Predict

Dogecoin DOGE/USD has caught the attention of cryptocurrency traders, who see the apex meme coin poised for upside soon.

What Happened: Popular analyst Michael van de Poppe noted, “The meme coin fiesta continues,” with rivals like Dogwifhat WIF/USD, Bonk BONK/USD and Floki FLOKI/USD surging. Van de Poppe points out that “the easiest play,” Dogecoin, isn’t moving yet, but “that’s a safe bet to have in this cycle.”

Pointing to the surge of rival Shiba Inu SHIB/USD, trader Cold Blooded Shiller tweeted, “Looks like we’re going to get the part where people FOMO into SHIB by longing DOGE,” suggesting a potential for price rally fueled by FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out).

Another trader, Zer0, expressed confidence in Dogecoin's potential, stating:

If you want exposure to memes

But think most are in an uncomfortable spot to start positioning $DOGE is your best bet

Once it starts moving,

It'll 2x instantly and form base higher

About time.

TheCryptoDog added a nostalgic sentiment, writing that Dogecoin is “slow and boring compared to new stuff these days, but there’s charm to her lumbering.” He expects “exciting days ahead.”

Why It Matters: The trader insights come at a pivotal moment for Dogecoin, which is facing significant resistance between $0.166 and $0.171. According to cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez, overcoming this resistance could allow Dogecoin to double in price, with the next key resistance level at $0.322.

Despite its slower movement compared to newer meme coins, traders believe Dogecoin's inherent potential makes it a safer bet within the meme coin ecosystem. As highlighted by recent analyses, a potential 30% upside suggests Dogecoin could experience a price trend reversal.

According to a Coindesk report, a trader bought two million call options on Dogecoin, betting on a price increase to $0.22 by June 14.

As rival coins like Shiba Inu continue to outperform, overcoming the key resistance could position Dogecoin for a substantial surge, reaffirming its status within the cryptocurrency landscape.

Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1655, up 1.03% over the past 24 hours.

What’s Next: The impact of meme coins will be discussed at Benzinga’s Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
