Key Notes

  • Dogecoin surged 51% in 24 hours, nearing its highest price since 2021.
  • Elon Musk’s recent comments have reignited interest, fueling speculation for a $1 target.

Now more than ever, there is a strong belief within the Dogecoin (DOGE) community about the near-future price movements of the popular meme coin. This follows after it surged 51.03% in the past 24 hours alone. The surge in price means that Dogecoin has now seen four consecutive days of strong gains.

DOGE DOGE $0.41 24h volatility: 2.8% Market cap: $60.27 B Vol. 24h: $10.61 B has added enough value in the past few days that pushed it above $0.41. Interestingly, this is a level that it has struggled to reach since May 2021 when DOGE reached its record high of over $0.70.

With this recent rally, investors and traders particularly interested in DOGE are now bubbling with excitement. They set their sights on a potential $1 target for the meme coin.

What’s Fueling Dogecoin’s Price Surge?

The recent performance of DOGE has left enthusiasts wondering what may be the driving force behind the continued surge in its price.

While the reason can not exactly be pinpointed, the rise in Dogecoin’s value may be linked to several factors. If nothing else, there appears to be an increasing interest and optimism within the crypto community in general. This has meant that, just like most cryptocurrencies, DOGE has also been on the rise, gaining like everyone else.

For context, over the past week alone, an investment into Dogecoin would have yielded a return of over 150%. That is not to mention that its price has also nearly tripled within the space of one month, per CoinGecko data.

With such a strong rally, it comes as no surprise to see the coin post very high trading volumes and notable liquidations.

Another undeniable factor driving this renewed interest is Elon Musk’s recent commentary. Musk’s light-hearted suggestion about the Trump administration creating a “Department of Government Efficiency”, abbreviated as D.O.G.E, has been taken by many to be an endorsement of the meme coin.

Following his supposed endorsement, many traders expect that there will be more attention on DOGE and retail trading circles.

Overall, this current momentum has sparked fresh hopes that DOGE might reach the $1 mark.

The Road to $1: Can DOGE Hit the Mark?

As Dogecoin continues to gain attention, some traders believe that the coin’s psychological appeal could push it toward $1. The $1 milestone has been a symbolic target since DOGE’s record-breaking run in 2021. The idea of “Dogecoin to $1” has long been popular in social media circles, sparking memes, and community excitement over the possibility. For many investors, reaching this mark would mean a lot. This is especially true for a token that started off as a mere joke but has since risen to prominence.

At the moment, optimism is very high. However, only time will tell if the ongoing interest from retail and institutional investors will be sustained. That is because DOGE’s future value will likely depend on that. Also, many more subtle endorsements by Musk or other key figures will go a long way. For now, though, traders and holders of Dogecoin will continue to monitor the market closely, with eyes fixed on the $1 goal.
