The cryptocurrency market tends to thrive on a blend of innovation, utility, and sometimes, just a good meme. This week, the spotlight shone brightly on Dogecoin (DOGE), the Shiba Inu-themed meme coin, after a characteristically playful tweet from tech billionaire Elon Musk sent prices soaring.<\/p>\n
While the tweet itself referenced a scene from Monty Python and didn’t directly mention Dogecoin, its timing, with DOGE hovering near the cusp of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, proved to be enough to ignite a firestorm of trading activity.<\/p>\n
This latest episode serves as a stark reminder of the immense influence Musk wields over the meme coin market, and the hair-trigger reflexes of Dogecoin’s dedicated community.<\/p>\n

Dogecoin Rollercoaster Ride Continues<\/strong><\/h2>\n
This isn’t the first time Musk has sent shockwaves through the Dogecoin world. In 2021, his enthusiastic endorsements, including a now-famous appearance on Saturday Night Live where he jokingly referred to himself as the “Dogefather,” propelled DOGE to its all-time high. However, the meme coin’s meteoric rise proved unsustainable, and prices eventually settled into a lower, but still respectable, position.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.15, down 8.4% and 22.9%<\/a> in the daily and weekly timeframes, data from Coingecko shows. Clearly, the Musk tweet magic didn’t work this time. Or, perhaps not yet?<\/p>\n
