Dogecoin Strikes Big Gains

Even as major coins retreated on Sunday night capping a weekend rally, meme coins such as DOGE remained firmly in the green. Trader Justin Bennett urged caution based on the movements of the total market cap. OANDA Senior Market Analyst Craig Erlam said there was “little momentum” in Bitcoin and it was going to make getting past the $25,000 level “very difficult.”

Dogecoin’s move up was based on its massive volume, which might indicate interest has returned back to the cryptocurrency, Benzinga’s Melanie Schaffer wrote. 

Schaffer said DOGE has resistance above at $0.083 and the $0.097 levels and support below at the $0.075 and $0.065 marks.
