Dogecoin hits highest level in months; trend reversal uncertain

Dogecoin reached a 3-month high of $0.1059 after X announced expanded trading features with major exchanges. The price later fell to $0.0992, closing down 0.62%. Analysts note unstable demand and mixed technical indicators, with a dead cross still present. The rally was driven by risk appetite and sector rotation into meme coins, but leverage played a significant role.
