In the last month, the Mean Dollar Invested Age (MDIA) for the popular crypto meme coin, DOGE, has been on an uptrend, according to data from Santiment.
However, in the last few days, according to the MDIA, the average investment in the DOGE has dropped from 264 days (on 18 July) to 206 days (22 July).

The MDIA is described as the average age of all coins/tokens on the blockchain weighted by the purchase price. When the MDIA of a crypto asset shoots up, the addresses where the assets are held become more and more dormant over time.
The longer the uptrend continues, the longer the stagnancy in price. Conversely, when a coin’s MDIA starts to drop, it means that wallet addresses previously dormant have commenced ‘moving’ the coins around. This is usually indicative of an uptick in the price of such an asset.
Is this self-fulfilling prophecy accurate in the case of the DOGE?
Price-performance
On 18 July, the DOGE traded at $0.064. Since the fall in the coin’s MDIA, the price of DOGE registered an 11% uptick.

On a daily chart, the coin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has taken on an uptrend since 18 July. This is indicative of an increased buying pressure for the DOGE in the last four days. At the time of writing, the indicator was spotted in an uptrend at 56.59.
