Dogecoin (DOGE) Comes Closer to Surpassing XRP

The price of Dogecoin (DOGE), the leading meme cryptocurrency, recently spiked by more than 10%, according to data provided by CoinGecko.

The Bitcoin parody peaked at $0.1975 earlier this Sunday, and it is currently changing hands at $0.195.

Dogecoin is (by far) the best-performing cryptocurrency in the top 20, outstripping Shiba Inu (SHIB), its top competitor. In fact, DOGE is the fifth best-performing cryptocurrency in the top 20. Only Ethena (ENA), Fantom (FTM), ORDI (ORDI) and eCash (XEC) are above in terms of 24-hour gains.

After the most recent price spike, the top meme coin is now closing in on XRP. The latter is only up a modest 0.9% over the past 24 hours. The two cryptocurrencies are currently valued at $32.8 billion and $28 billion, respectively, according to data provided by CoinGecko.

More than $5 million worth of Dogecoin shorts have been liquidated over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGlass. They account for the vast majority of liquidated positions ($6.42 million).

The meme coin was one of the most traded cryptocurrencies, generating $2.3 billion in 24-hour trading volume.

As reported by U.Today, the Dogecoin price managed to score a monthly close above the pivotal $0.20 level, potentially turning it into support. This could set the stage for a potential surge to $0.30. In 2024, the meme coin has already managed to double its price. Meanwhile, the aggregate value of joke cryptocurrencies has nearly tripled.

That said, Dogecoin’s bullish momentum might be fragile. According to recent IntoTheBlock data, Dogecoin is showing mostly negative on-chain signals, with indicates that are based on net network growth and large transactions currently being in the red.
