The buying spree may be responsible for DOGE’s current price spike. The asset has rallied by 6.2% in the daily charts, 1.5% in the 14-day charts, and 12% over the previous month. The original memecoin is also up by 76.6% since October 2023. Despite the rally, the asset is still down by 12.3% in the weekly charts.
Reasons Behind Dogecoin’s Rally
Elon Musk’s Influence
DOGE’s latest rally could be due to Elon Musk reiterating his desire to accept the meme coin for Tesla vehicles. The electric vehicle manufacturer already accepts DOGE for its merchandise, and Musk says the company may enable DOGE payments for its vehicles in the future.
