The decline in the meme coin’s open interest shows that more traders are taking a small-risk approach due to market-wide fluctuations. This can lead to lower price volatility for dogwifhat since lower liquidations would be expected. 
Data from the market intelligence platform shows that the funding rate aggregated by WIF on all exchanges rose from 0.001% to 0.003% over the past 24 hours. The indicator shows that traders are betting on WIF’s price hike. 
However, major macroeconomic events could change the direction of the cryptocurrency markets despite bullish technical and on-chain indicators. 
One of the most important events that triggered a market-wide downturn on Aug. 4 was the <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-spirals-below-55k-for-first-time-july-13/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">geopolitical tension</a> between Iran and Israel, and the expectations of a potential war.&nbsp;
