The value of the leading meme coin, Dogecoin (DOGE), has declined by almost 5% in the last week despite the general rally in the altcoin market.
This price dip is attributable to the decline in daily demand for the coin during that period and the negative weighted sentiment that continues to trail it.
Sellers Targeting Dogecoin
At press time, Dogecoin (DOGE) exchanged hands at $0.15. The coin’s price rallied to a peak of $0.17 on May 26 and has since declined by 12%.
This drop in DOGE’s value is primarily attributable to the fall in its demand during that period. The daily count of addresses executing DOGE transactions has dropped by 9%.
Because fewer addresses demand the altcoin, its daily transaction count has also dropped. During the period under review, the number of daily unique transactions has fallen by 5%.

The negative weighted sentiment that has trailed DOGE for most of the month may be why few addresses are trading it. Still negative at press time, DOGE’s weighted sentiment was -0.71.

This value suggests a heavy dominance of negative commentary surrounding the meme coin on social media platforms.
DOGE Price Prediction: More Pain Ahead
At press time, DOGE’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) was poised to breach its 50-neutral line and fall below it.
This indicator gauges the momentum behind an asset’s price movement and identifies potential buying and selling opportunities. At its current position, DOGE’s RSI suggested that the coin was neither overbought nor oversold, but there was an undergoing shift towards coin distribution.
Likewise, its Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which tracks how money flows into and out of an asset, was under zero at -0.01. This value showed increased liquidity exit from DOGE’s market by its investors.

However, if this is invalidated and the bulls intensify coin accumulation, they can drive DOGE’s value up to $0.16,
