Dogecoin Price
Dogecoin has been seeing some upside in the market but not large enough to make much of a difference. The digital asset’s price had trended low around $0.2 point, more than 60% less than its all-time high. Although the hype around meme coins has not died down, it seems the market seems to have forgotten the original meme coin.

Despite the downtrend, the meme coin has continued to dominate social media and Google search trends. For the month of November, Dogecoin made the top of the list for most searched cryptocurrency across 30 U.S. states.
The beginning of December has not been too bad for the price, although indicators point to sell signals being in the majority. The price continues to hold above the $0.2 range.
