Dogecoin traded near $0.0944 on October 4, up 1.41% over 24 hours and down 2.70% over seven days, ahead of Bitcoin’s 0.58% daily gain and above the $0.0937 pivot resistance that Crypto Daily flagged earlier in the day. The bounce comes a day after the Dogecoin Foundation’s comments about an “avalanche” of DogeOS projects and Metallicus’s launch of DogecoinVM, but no new announcement explains it, and the $0.098 resistance and the closure of Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF on October 14 still frame the week. Dogecoin remains about 3% below its Friday-morning price.
Key Takeaways
DOGE trades near $0.09438, up 0.26% over the past hour and 1.41% over 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap, on 24-hour volume of $469.72 million, about 44% below Saturday’s reading. CoinMarketCap lists a market capitalization of $16.22 billion on a circulating supply of 171.89 billion DOGE. DOGE has gained 0.77% since midday while Bitcoin was flat, and it is up more than Bitcoin (0.58%), Ether (0.77%) and XRP (0.89%) over 24 hours.
Crypto Daily placed DOGE just above a $0.0932 to $0.0940 moving-average support zone, with $0.0937 as the first pivot resistance, then $0.0986, and the $0.10 to $0.106 supply zone where earlier rebounds were rejected. At $0.0944 DOGE sits above both the pivot and the top of that zone. The seven-day loss narrowed to 2.70% from 4.67% at midday, partly because the price from a week earlier, which the change is measured against, is lower.
Dogecoin Foundation director Timothy Stebbing wrote on X on October 3 that DogeOS had gone live with its public testnet, followed by an “absolute avalanche” of new projects on its Doge/EVM chain, and that Metallicus had launched DogecoinVM. DogeOS is an Ethereum-compatible zero-knowledge rollup that settles to Dogecoin, and it has set no mainnet date. DogecoinVM is described as a DOGE-compatible ledger on the Metal Blockchain. Dogecoin’s own network does not change with either project.
Dogecoin ETF demand remains small. SoSoValue data cited by CryptoTicker show an inflow of $879,000 on September 29, an outflow of $551,430 on September 30 and no notable flows on October 1 and 2, and Grayscale’s trust, the largest fund, held $14.11 million of net assets, under 0.1% of DOGE’s market value. Bitwise’s BWOW fund stops trading on October 14, with cash distributions expected around October 22, which leaves Grayscale’s GDOG and 21Shares’ TDOG.
Bitcoin trades near $85,300, up 0.58% over 24 hours and 1.04% over seven days, after Friday’s weak jobs report produced a spike to about $87,200 and a reversal. Robinhood’s planned US perpetual futures include DOGE at up to 3x leverage, though the company has not set a launch date.
Dogecoin Market Overview
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|

Data sourced from CoinMarketCap, late afternoon of October 4 (UTC). CoinMarketCap revised its circulating supply figure to 171.89 billion DOGE on October 3 from about 156 billion, so the market-cap figure is not comparable with earlier days.
Dogecoin Price Today: Price Analysis
DOGE rose from $0.09366 at midday to $0.09438 while Bitcoin held near $85,300 and Ether, XRP and Solana were flat, so the latest leg is specific to Dogecoin. It reverses part of Friday and Saturday, when DOGE fell about 4.6% to $0.0931 against 1.7% for Bitcoin. Since Friday morning DOGE is still down 3.25% against 1.19% for Bitcoin, so it has recovered part of its relative loss but not all of it.
The next test is $0.0986, close to the $0.098 level where about 28 billion DOGE previously changed hands, then the $0.10 to $0.106 zone where earlier rebounds were rejected. A fall back below $0.0932 would put DOGE under the moving-average zone and point to AMBCrypto’s $0.087 level. Weekend volume is still thin, with DOGE’s turnover below Saturday’s, so a move like this can reverse when US markets reopen on Monday.
The ecosystem news is constructive but early. DogeOS apps trade test DOGE, AMBCrypto noted that the price response to the testnet was small, and the DogeOS team’s proposed Dogecoin Core upgrade for native proof verification has not been implemented, The Block reported. Fund demand is the weaker side: the largest fund holds roughly a thousandth of DOGE’s market value, and Bitwise is leaving the market.
Why Is Dogecoin Trending Today?
Dogecoin is trending on a 1.41% daily gain, a move above the $0.0937 pivot, the DogeOS and DogecoinVM news and the countdown to Bitwise’s ETF closure. For the full market picture, see crypto market today, and for today’s other headlines, check crypto news today.
What This Means for the Days Ahead
Monday brings the first ETF flow data of the new week, and Dogecoin’s own dated events are further out. October 14 is both the last trading day for BWOW and the date of the September CPI report at 8:30 a.m. ET, and the Federal Reserve meets on October 27 and 28. Cash distributions from BWOW are expected around October 22, and DogeOS has not announced when its testnet will move to mainnet.
On the chart, DOGE needs to hold $0.0937 to keep the pivot break. A daily close above $0.10 would put the $0.1055 high back in play.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of Dogecoin today?
Dogecoin trades near $0.0944 on October 4, 2026, up 1.41% over 24 hours and down 2.70% over seven days, according to CoinMarketCap. Daily volume is about $469.72 million, roughly 44% below Saturday’s reading, and market capitalization is listed at $16.22 billion on a circulating supply of 171.89 billion DOGE. DOGE remains about 3% below its Friday-morning price of $0.0976.
Why is Dogecoin up today?
Dogecoin rose 1.41% in 24 hours, more than Bitcoin’s 0.58%, and cleared the $0.0937 pivot resistance that Crypto Daily flagged earlier on Sunday. Weekend volume is about 44% below Saturday’s, and no new Dogecoin announcement has followed Saturday’s DogeOS and DogecoinVM news, so the move looks like a bounce inside the range, not a breakout. DOGE is still down 2.70% over seven days and below the $0.098 resistance.
What are DogeOS and DogecoinVM?
DogeOS is an Ethereum-compatible zero-knowledge rollup that settles to Dogecoin and uses DOGE for fees. Its public testnet opened on September 30, and it has no mainnet date. DogecoinVM, launched by Metallicus, is a DOGE-compatible ledger on the Metal Blockchain that bridges Dogecoin to that network. Neither changes Dogecoin’s own network, and DogeOS remains a testnet.
What is happening with Dogecoin ETFs?
Bitwise’s BWOW makes its last trading day on October 14, with cash distributions expected around October 22, which leaves Grayscale’s GDOG and 21Shares’ TDOG. SoSoValue data cited by CryptoTicker show an inflow of $879,000 on September 29 and an outflow of $551,430 on September 30, with no notable flows on October 1 and 2. The largest fund holds $14.11 million, under 0.1% of DOGE’s market value.
