Dogecoin (DOGE) rose by 6% due to the ETF craze, but its long-term value remains in doubt. Although interest in DOGE ETFs has increased, briefly pushing its price above $0.40, it quickly fell back to $0.35. Large holders have been buying and selling significant amounts of DOGE in the short term, reflecting the market's volatility and uncertainty. Nevertheless, interest in Dogecoin remains high, with investors hoping for a 16% increase again. However, with the emergence of new meme coins, DOGE's liquidity is declining, and skepticism about its long-term value is growing. Investors need to exercise caution and not be swayed by market noise.

Dogecoin [DOGE] looks ready to break out, eyeing its Q4 rally high of $0.48 from last year. Why? With a DOGE ETF creating ‘sell-the-news’ buzz and its growing influence in U.S. politics, the coin is just 16% shy of its post-election surge. So, could HODLers finally see their patience rewarded?Don’t get swayed With all the “hype” around Dogecoin, including its symbol showing up in important places, that 16% spike doesn’t seem too far off.

Clearly, FOMO is back and the “sell-the-news” moves have been bought up fast.But here’s the catch. The same wallets that scooped up 590 million DOGE have also been unloading billions, dropping their holdings from 50 billion to under 47 billion in just a week.What does this mean for DOGE?

The 10% jump in DOGE also aligned with the launch of the TRUMP memecoin, injecting fresh capital into the market. But within days, both big and small traders pulled out, cashing in on their gains.This sharp exit highlights the growing skepticism about Dogecoin’s long-term “value”, turning it into a riskier play. As attention shifted to new memecoins, DOGE saw a significant drop in liquidity, with $5 billion in sell-offs.Realistic or not, here’s DOGE market cap in BTC’s termsSo, despite the hype, a 16% jump for Dogecoin still feels far off unless the market breaks out. Right now, that 6% spike looks like a temporary blip, especially with $8.91 million in long positions getting squeezed.
