Dogecoin (DOGE) is leading the meme coin market recovery supported by other players like Shiba Inu, POPCAT, and FLOKI with each gaining 10-15%.
The meme coin sector is currently witnessing the sharpest recovery led by Dogecoin’s staggering 15% gains in the last 24 hours. Apart from DOGE DOGE $0.17 24h volatility: 3.8% Market cap: $25.58 B Vol. 24h: $966.45 M , other market players like Shiba Inu SHIB $0.000013 24h volatility: 2.9% Market cap: $7.78 B Vol. 24h: $163.13 M , POPCAT POPCAT $0.36 24h volatility: 1.6% Market cap: $354.23 M Vol. 24h: $103.47 M , and FLOKI FLOKI $0.000089 24h volatility: 6.4% Market cap: $859.52 M Vol. 24h: $163.88 M have also joined the party registering 10% gains each.
The reasons behind this strong Dogecoin comeback are technical as well as Elon Musk’s latest push. On the daily technical chart, the Dogecoin price forms a “golden cross” pattern as the 50-day EMA crosses over the 200-day EMA. Analysts view this cross-over as a major shift from the bearish to the bullish sentiment.
As of October 29, Dogecoin is holding steady above its key 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level at around $0.1358, a point that served as strong resistance back in July. Staying above this level could pave the way for DOGE to target the $0.1832 and $0.2292 ranges.

On the other hand, the Dogecoin futures interest is rising very fast and near record levels from April. Since last Sunday, the DOGE-denominated futures have surged 33% to more than 8 billion tokens. This is just 12% short of the lifetime record of 9 billion DOGE in open interest. As per the Glassnode data, the DOGE bets have surged from $850 million to more than $1.3 billion.
On the other hand, Elon Musk has been cementing his position eyeing a crucial role in the Donald Trump administration. The tech billionaire has been teasing the “Department of Government Efficiency” with the acronym DOGE, for a while. Thus, if the Trump win happens, as per the current prediction market polls, traders expect the DOGE price to rally even further. Also, the odds of Elon Musk finding a crucial role in the Trump cabinet have also doubled over the past two weeks.
Markets increasingly believe Elon Musk will be appointed to a role by the next president.
There is now a 32% chance that Elon Musk is nominated to the Cabinet by February 2025, according to @Kalshi.
These odds have more than DOUBLED over the last 2 weeks.
