Why Is Dogecoin Trading Lower On Monday Morning?

Dogecoin DOGE/USD was trading lower Monday morning following an overnight spike that propelled it beyond $0.23.

What happened: The world’s largest meme coin by market capitalization experienced a volatile day of trading, with volumes more than doubling to $2.84 billion in the last 24 hours. 

DOGE broke past $0.23 twice on Sunday but was met with heavy resistance each time, leading to a U-turn. As of this writing, the cryptocurrency has retraced 8.7% from its intraday high and more than 3% in the last 24 hours.

DOGE followed in Bitcoin’s BTC/USD footsteps, which rallied sharply Sunday night and tapped $107,000 for the first time in nearly four months.

Cryptocurrency trader and analyst Chandler predicted DOGE to “absolutely explode” when BTC hits a new high and holds above $110,000.
