Dogecoin Price Prediction: DOGE Plunges 7% As Experts Say Consider This Innovative Staking Meme Coin For 100X Gains

Image
The Dogecoin price plunged 7% in the last 24 hours to trade at $0.1922 as of 2.20 a.m. EST on trading volume that plummeted 23% to $7.56 billion. After surging over the past two days during the US election, the Dogecoin price climbed to $0.21, only for it to then correct back under the resistance at $0.20. The project only reached this height twice in the past year — once in March, and once again in April. However, with the election now officially over, the hype has died down, and prices have corrected. But Dogecoin might prove to be a special case given Trump’s plans to create a new crypto-related department and put Elon Musk — a major DOGE supporter — in charge of it.

Elon Musk Dogecoin Joke Fails To Ignite DOGE Price Even As Donald Trump Considers Tesla Titan For Public Office

In an Aug. 20 post on X, Musk said he’s “willing to serve,” along with a picture of him standing at a podium with the words “D.O.G.E. – Department of Government Efficiency.” Following the post, the price of Dogecoin registered a slight 24-hour loss to trade at $0.1046 as of 2:50 a.m. EST, perhaps signaling Musk’s waning influence on the price of the biggest meme coin by market capitalization. Trump Willing To Offer Elon Musk A Cabinet Position Musk’s post came in response to Trump saying that he would offer the Tesla and SpaceX founder a Cabinet position or an advisory role if he gets elected, and assuming Musk was interested. In an interview with Reuters, the Republican nominee said that he would approach Musk for such a position “i...
