At the peak of meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) appears to have undergone a sharp correction following transactions in the last 24 hours. Despite having achieved strong gains in the past period, DOGE is still considered a significant risk by certain circles. Perhaps Dogecoin, which might need an Elon Musk effect, has seen some changes in its price recently; let’s take a look together.
The Rise and Fall of DOGE
According to data provided by CoinMarketCap, DOGE’s price initiated a rise on February 17 and climbed to $0.090 after an 8% increase by 12:45 UTC on February 20.
This was enough to brighten the eyes of the diamond hands. When they decided to take profits, the curve began to bend. At the time of writing this article, DOGE was finding buyers at the $0.0335 level, erasing a large part of the profits brought by the recent surge.
DOGE Coin Commentary
Despite the volatile price movements, it turns out that DOGE has actually performed well since the beginning of February compared to the previous period. DOGE failed to participate in the price rally at the end of 2023, causing anxiety among investors. In the last 21 days, it has been revealed that DOGE’s price has gained 8%.
On-chain data and DOGE activities also showed noticeable improvement throughout the month. According to data from on-chain data provider IntoTheBlock, over one million transactions were performed daily on Dogecoin in the last three weeks.
Data provided by Santiment revealed that during the period of DOGE’s price increase, there was also a rise in the number of daily active addresses. However, the subsequent pullback in price also led to a decrease in active address numbers.
Musk and the DOGE Effect
Compared to previous years, one of the biggest problems for DOGE recently has been the overreliance on Elon Musk, who is considered its biggest supporter. Dogecoin has been significantly supported by Elon Musk in the past years.
In this context, decisions related to payment options by his companies could have significant impacts on DOGE. Another concern observed by those following DOGE in the crypto community is the coin’s limited real-world use. This low interaction with the real world could hinder DOGE’s ability to find catalysts for growth, which could create challenges for a token considered at the peak of memecoins in the future.
