The crypto exchange also made known its strong will to increase options and opportunities for Web3 participation.
Dogecoin jumps 14%
The Dogecoin price reacted positively to the listing news and was also seeing a rise alongside the crypto market. At the time of writing, DOGE was up 14% in the last 24 hours to $0.091. Dogecoin’s price jump follows a 6% increase in the price of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market value, reclaimed the $57,000 level for the first time since late 2021. Bitcoin’s price has climbed 32% since 2024, continuing a rally that has encouraged speculative interest in altcoins such as Dogecoin.
Dogecoin has been on a steady rise since hitting support at $0.082 on Feb. 23. Today’s rally hit intraday highs of $0.096, stopping short of the much coveted $0.01 mark.
According to crypto analyst Ali, the price action of Dogecoin appears to mirror patterns observed in past bull markets. If history repeats itself, Ali predicts that DOGE might enter a parabolic breakout around April.
In the intermediate term, if Dogecoin sustains its present rise, it might attempt a breach past the $0.01 level. On the other hand, a sustained close below the daily MA 50 at $0.082 might invalidate the current bullish outlook.
