'Dogecoin Isn't Dead,' Asserts Trader: GameStop And AMC Showed Retail Is 'Risk On' And DOGE 'Will Move Vertical Once Again'

Crypto Kaleo expressed his belief in Dogecoin‘s DOGE/USD resurgence, attributing it to the retail sector’s renewed risk appetite.

What Happened: In a Friday post on X, Kaleo highlighted the shift in the retail sector’s risk tolerance across the meme coin board, as evidenced by the performance of GameStop and AMC. He noted the explosion of the meme coin market over the past year, with Dogecoin leading the pack as the "king of the memes." It was the initial meme that made it possible to believe that a dog and a community was enough to start a movement.

The trader emphasized Dogecoin's enduring relevance, stating, "Dogecoin isn't dead. As soon as it starts to catch a bit of a bid, it will move vertical once again." He also pointed out the retail sector’s desire for the same thrill they experienced with GME and AMC, predicting a similar surge for Dogecoin.

Kaleo's prediction of a bounce back suggests that this trend could continue, driven by retail investors’ familiarity with Dogecoin and their desire for high-risk, high-reward investments.

Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.1529, up 1.2% over the past 24 hours.
