Elon Musk has once again made headlines in the crypto world by mentioning Dogecoin while expressing his support for Donald Trump. As a result, the price of DOGE surged, reaching its highest level in three months.
Elon Musk’s Mention of “D.O.G.E.” Sparks a Rally
The recent rally in Dogecoin began after Musk’s comments during a town hall event on October 17, where he endorsed Donald Trump for the upcoming U.S. presidential election in November. During the event, Musk proposed an idea for a government agency named Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), coincidentally sharing the same initials as Dogecoin’s ticker symbol.
This sparked immediate excitement among Dogecoin enthusiasts, leading to a 25% price increase for the token over the past week. As covered by The Bit Journal, Musk has a well-known history of influencing Dogecoin’s price through his social media posts and public statements. His remarks played a key role in DOGE’s 64,000% rise between March 2020 and May 2021, earning him the title of the “Dogefather” within the crypto community.
Dogecoin Enters a Falling Wedge Breakout
Crypto analyst Yashu Gola has provided insight into Dogecoin’s technical landscape, noting that the recent gains are part of a breakout from a falling wedge pattern. This formation is traditionally seen by analysts as a signal of an impending bullish reversal, typically resolving once the price breaks above the upper trendline.
Today, DOGE broke out of the falling wedge, testing the upper trendline support near $0.105 before sharply rebounding. According to Gola, Dogecoin could target the next resistance level near $0.19, which aligns with the 0.786 Fibonacci level, by the end of 2024. However, DOGE’s RSI has surged above 70, indicating overbought conditions. This often leads to a period of consolidation or correction, and Dogecoin could potentially retrace to the 0.236 Fibonacci support around $0.122 by the end of October.
As Dogecoin rallies, traders and enthusiasts alike are keeping a close eye on its next moves. The impact of Musk’s words, combined with technical analysis, indicates that the meme coin could see further volatility in the coming weeks.
