Dogecoin Cumulative ROI: Region-Wide Analysis
On the Year-to-Date front, Dogecoin is currently down 5.6%. Velo Data’s numbers pointed out that DOGE’s cumulative ROI during Europe’s trading hours [purple] has been in negative territory for most of 2023. In fact, the state has only worsened in H2.
During the first few months, when DOGE rallied along with Bitcoin, the market predominately had buyers from the U.S. [blue] and Asia Pacific [yellow] regions. However, in Q2, U.S. buyers started sidelining, and the ROI during Western trading hours slipped into negative territory.
The Asia-Pacific region’s tale has been the most successful one so far. Only in June, for a brief period, did the ROI drop into negative territory. Other than that, it has only been oscillating in the positive region. In fact, significant upward strides were registered by APAC in Q3. Specifically, this region’s cumulative session return figure stood at 24.28% at press time, when compared to the U.S.’s -14.79% and the EU’s -40.69%.
