Why Is Dogecoin Rallying?

DOGE’s rally is likely due to a few developments that have taken place over the last few days. Firstly, Donald Trump won the U.S. Presidential election, triggering a market-wide rally. Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high earlier today and is inching closer to the $90,000 mark.

Secondly, Elon Musk, one of Trump’s most significant endorsers, wants to establish a Department Of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) under the Trump administration. Musk is also an avid Dogecoin (DOGE) fan. His support for Trump may have further pushed DOGE bulls.

Will The Memecoin Hit $1 Next?

Hitting $1 from current price levels will require a rally of about 150%.

According to CoinCodex analysts, Dogecoin (DOGE) will face a correction over the next few weeks. The platform anticipates the memecoin to dip to $0.27597 on Nov. 28, 2024. Sliding to $0.27597 from current price levels will entail a fall of about 31%.
