DOGE Eyes $0.28 as Dogecoin ETF Catalyst Leads to ‘Pennant Breakout’

Dogecoin rallied sharply during the September 9–10 session, reclaiming the $0.24–$0.25 range with volume surging above 1.5 billion tokens. The move comes as REX-Osprey prepares to debut the first U.S. Dogecoin ETF on September 11 under the ticker “DOJE.”
Technical traders flagged a bullish pennant breakout pattern, while large-scale whale accumulation added to growing confidence that institutional demand is building around the launch.
