The meme coin market is back with a vengeance, with Dogecoin (DOGE) spearheading a 32% weekly surge as the sector’s total market cap rockets to $85.28 billion—a 30-day high. But beneath the surface, a curious trend is unfolding: long-term holders are quietly cashing out while short-term traders fuel the rally.

📈 Price Action:

• $0.2743 (up 32% in a week)

As one analyst noted:

“When DOGE runs, the rest of meme land usually follows—but this time, the veterans are booking profits early.”
