Institutional Buyers Fuel Dogecoin Ahead of Fed Rate Cut – 17/9/2025
Dogecoin (DOGE) is attracting significant institutional interest as the Federal Reserve’s expected rate cut sets the stage for potential gains against Bitcoin. A bullish inverse head-and-shoulders pattern in the DOGE-BTC ratio signals the potential for an outsized rally.
Following a nearly 5% drop this week to $0.26, bargain hunters moved in, with institutions acquiring 680 million DOGE, according to CoinDesk data. This accumulation reflects growing confidence in the meme cryptocurrency.
The surge comes amid improving regulatory clarity ahead of the anticipated U.S.-listed spot Dogecoin ETF. CleanCore Solutions added 100 million DOGE to its treasury, bringing holdings above 600 million. The Rex Shares–Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) is expected to launch soon, giving investors exposure to DOGE without direct custody.
Institutional Flow Highlights
- Selling at $0.26 totaled 945.89 million DOGE, establishing firm support.
- Evening buying near $0.27 totaled 629.60 million DOGE, reinforcing accumulation.
- The $0.26 support zone held under intraday pressure, confirming institutional commitment.
- A breakout from multi-month consolidation suggests a potential $0.50 price target.
DOGE-BTC Outlook
With the Fed expected to cut rates by 25 bps to 4% on Wednesday, focus shifts to forward guidance. DOGE bulls are watching for signals of accelerated easing, which could drive gains relative to Bitcoin.
