- DOGE’s trading volume and network activity declined significantly
- A bullish pattern appeared on the memecoin’s daily chart too

Dogecoin mimics historical pattern

During those cycles, after steep price spikes, DOGE’s value dropped for a few days before resuming its rally. The pullbacks happened as sell signals appeared on DOGE’s TD sequential.
Since similar events happened twice, the chances of the same episode repeating in 2024 are high. Therefore, Martinez mentioned that Dogecoin might be testing investors’ patience during this cycle.
