Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin (DOGE) briefly broke above $0.10 on Saturday before retreating, though it remains up roughly 23% on the week, according to partners.coinspeaker.com. The token rallied from around $0.07 in late August to over $0.10 following the US Treasury’s announcement of an expanded bond buyback plan. It is currently trading above $0.085 with a market capitalization of $14.8 billion and $880 million in 24-hour volume.
This move reset sentiment for the original meme coin and parts of the wider dog-token trade. Derivatives data shows DOGE open interest rose to $1.21 billion by mid-August, matching levels seen in October 2025. Analyst Trader Tardigrade outlined a thesis targeting $0.38 in the near term, noting a falling wedge pattern similar to previous pumps.
The broader interest has directed attention to smaller projects like Maxi Doge (MAXI), which has raised $4.85 million in its presale. MAXI is an Ethereum-based token featuring a “gym bro” identity, 64% APY staking, and a fixed supply of 150.24 billion tokens. The project’s smart contract was audited by SolidProof and Coinsult, confirming no additional token minting is possible.
Allocation includes 40% for marketing and 25% for the team’s Maxi Fund, with listings planned for later this year. The current presale price is $0.0002835, with the next price increase scheduled for tomorrow. Users can purchase using ETH, BNB, USDT, USDC, or bank cards via the official website or Best Wallet app.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for DOGE, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows DOGE trading at $0.08770 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.1%, indicating a slight majority of volume is buying. The 1-hour buy ratio is lower at 46.6%, while the 4-hour ratio sits at 53.6%, suggesting short-term selling pressure is emerging after a longer-term uptrend. Volume delta reflects this shift, dropping by $277,597 in the last hour but remaining positive at $402,179 over four hours. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is strongly positive at $2,275,448, with cumulative buying pressure (CVD) closing at $2,718,962. This means that while immediate trading activity shows some hesitation, the broader daily flow remains firmly in buyer hands. Net buying occurred for 14 of the last 24 hours, supporting the current price level above $0.085.
The latest daily buy ratio of 37.6% sits at the 0th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.9% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Twenty-four hours later
What DOGE did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for DOGE, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, DOGE experienced consistent accumulation with net buying occurring on all seven days. The 7-day average buy ratio was 51.2%, which is slightly higher than the current 24-hour ratio of 52.1%, showing sustained but steady demand. Spot volume for the week was 0.41 times the average, indicating that while price moved up 16.9%, trading activity was relatively subdued compared to typical days. The 8-day volume delta totaled $24,231,150, confirming that the weekly advance was supported by genuine inflow rather than just price speculation. This represents an ordinary pattern of gradual accumulation rather than an unusual spike in volume, as the coin maintained gains despite lower-than-average trading activity.
