Dogecoin (DOGE) surged by 48% within 24 hours, continuing a strong, four-day rally that has stirred hopes of a $1 price target. The memecoin, which briefly exceeded 41 cents for the first time since May 2021, has gained over 150% in the last week and nearly tripled over 30 days. Speculation around
Dogecoin (DOGE) surged by 48% within 24 hours, continuing a strong, four-day rally that has stirred hopes of a $1 price target. The memecoin, which briefly exceeded 41 cents for the first time since May 2021, has gained over 150% in the last week and nearly tripled over 30 days. Speculation around Elon Musk’s possible “Department of Government Efficiency” (D.O.G.E) initiative, aimed at streamlining government spending, has fueled bullish sentiment among traders. Musk’s endorsement in the Trump administration has increased DOGE’s visibility and renewed retail interest, triggering extensive media attention. The rally has led to over $68 million in losses for DOGE-tracked futures, with open interest near its highest level since April. For many investors, $1 remains a key psychological target, inspired by memes and the token’s 2021 peak of just above 70 cents. This optimism continues to drive trading volumes and price targets.
