TLDR
- Dogecoin moved back above $0.10, reaching its highest level since June.
- Derivatives open interest rose to about $1.66 billion, while trading volume jumped 72%.
- U.S. spot Dogecoin ETFs recorded about $909,650 in net inflows on September 21.
- X announced trading integrations with Gemini, Kraken, Coinbase, Moomoo and Interactive Brokers, adding attention to DOGE.
- BSC Gems Alert said DOGE is forming a higher-low structure and is watching $0.22 as the first major resistance level.
Dogecoin has reclaimed the $0.10 area after several months below the level. DOGE rose about 2.5% over 24 hours and briefly traded above $0.105 during the latest move.
The token also reached its highest price since June. Bitcoin’s push toward $86,000 helped lift broader crypto prices, including several meme coins.
Dogecoin outperformed Bitcoin during part of the session. Pepe and Shiba Inu also moved higher as interest returned to the meme coin sector.
Trading Activity and ETF Flows Rise
Dogecoin derivatives volume jumped about 72% to $5.42 billion. Open interest also climbed 5.65% to roughly $1.66 billion, showing that more positions were being opened.
Options activity moved differently, with options volume falling around 41%. Options open interest still increased about 4.9%.
U.S. spot Dogecoin ETFs recorded about $909,650 in combined net inflows on September 21. Grayscale’s GDOG brought in $1.50 million, while 21Shares’ TDOG recorded an outflow near $593,000.
Total ETF assets stood near $15.14 million. Cumulative inflows reached roughly $13.29 million.
Another factor drawing attention was X’s announcement of new trading arrangements with Gemini, Kraken, Coinbase, Moomoo and Interactive Brokers. The integrations allow users to access trading through cashtags directly from the platform.
Elon Musk has previously supported Dogecoin publicly, and his companies have explored DOGE-related payments. The X announcement therefore added another DOGE-related talking point for traders, although it did not announce direct Dogecoin integration.
DOGE Holds Near $0.10
On the four-hour chart, DOGE moved above earlier resistance near $0.095 before testing $0.10. The next short-term levels identified were around $0.105 and $0.11.
RSI stood close to 70, showing strong momentum after the rally. MACD remained above its signal line, although weakening histogram bars pointed to slower momentum.
On X, BSC Gems Alert said DOGE is forming a higher-low structure after a prolonged downtrend. The analyst highlighted $0.22 as the first major resistance level, followed by $0.34 and $0.47.
🚨 $DOGE BULLISH SETUP? 🐕🚀
DOGE is showing an interesting structure on the 1D chart.
After a prolonged downtrend, price has started forming a higher-low structure and is pushing against the upper boundary of the latest descending pattern.
Key levels I’m watching:

The same post identified $0.155 as an important support level in its longer-term setup. BSC Gems Alert said a breakout above $0.22 followed by a successful retest could strengthen the structure.
Dogecoin’s 50-day EMA still remains below its 200-day EMA. That leaves the longer-term moving-average structure weaker than the recent short-term price action.
DOGE was trading close to the $0.10 area in the latest supplied data. Open interest, ETF flows and exchange-linked trading activity all increased during the latest move.
