Dogecoin Breaks Bitcoin Correlation with 10% Rally

What happened: Dogecoin surged 10% while breaking away from Bitcoin's downward trajectory, as open interest in DOGE-tracked futures climbed to 15.36 billion tokens—a yearly high. The memecoin's divergence from broader market weakness signals renewed speculative interest.
