While Elon Musk is better known for his long-term support of Dogecoin DOGE $0.20 24h volatility: 1.2% Market cap: $30.24 B Vol. 24h: $2.07 B , the Forbes 2025 World’s Richest Man has also interacted with the Floki community in the past.
When he stepped down as Twitter CEO in 2023, following a controversial $44 billion acquisition a year earlier, he jokingly referenced Floki as his replacement, sparking a 140% price rally on the day.

how many Xs did $FLOKI pump the last time Elon did this btw?
IIRC he went on a rampage posting several 'Floki as X CEO' tweets and memes shortly after
and was even excitedly talking about how it's cool that his dog was running Twitter on mainstream TV
would be ironic if we get… https://t.co/f39VOv13PV

Community speculation remains rife. A pseudonymous user “Bonk Guy” expressed optimism of a repeat triple-digit rally, echoing the dominant narrative in the comment section to Elon Musk’s post.
Floki’s 3-day price chart reveals a falling wedge pattern. This indicator typically indicates more volatile upside moves ahead. Floki price action sits near $0.0000829, with the MACD lines sitting slightly below zero but the histogram has tightened, confirming buyers regaining control. Another bullish crossover (blue line crossing above red) on the daily/3-day timeframe would confirm another leg-higher.
Floki Inu Technical Price Analysis | TradingView
A decisive break and weekly close below the wedge support around $0.00006 invalidates the bullish momentum. The Bull-Bear Power (BBP) readings are marginally negative but flattening, indicating sentiment is mixed rather than decisively bearish.
If FLOKI posts a decisive close above $0.00015 with a confirmed MACD crossover and rising volume, the next major resistance lies at $0.00011 with an extended target near $0.00037 if falling wedge target is validated.
Conversely, a weekly close below the wedge floor around $0.00005 would invalidate the bullish Floki price forecast and heighten risks of a reversal toward $0.00004.
