The rally could be <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1847036262009504200" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">attributed</a> to Elon Musk’s comments during his recent public speech in Pennsylvania. Tesla’s CEO was asked if he would lead a new potential division (called Department of Government Efficiency) in an eventual Donald Trump administration. He simply answered, “Yeah, DOGE,” receiving applause from the crowd.&nbsp;
This is not the first time the leading meme coin has headed north following interaction from one of the wealthiest people on the planet. In March this year, Musk <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://cryptopotato.com/dogecoin-spikes-14-on-latest-elon-musk-endorsement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">said</a> that Tesla may allow DOGE payments “at some point.” This resulted in a double-digit rally for the token’s price.&nbsp;
Two months later, the EV giant officially <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://cryptopotato.com/doge-skyrockets-after-tesla-adds-dogecoin-%d0%b0s-payment-method/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">integrated</a> DOGE as a payment option on its website. The move fueled another substantial (yet brief) spike for the asset.
Musk has been openly supportive of Dogecoin over the past few years, praising its merits multiple times. At one point, he even referred to himself as the “DOGEFATHER.”

The latest resurgence of the meme coin caught the eye of numerous analysts. X user Dylan, for instance, said a massive revival of the other altcoins could follow DOGE’s pump.

Earlier this week, Ali Martinez also chipped in, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://cryptopotato.com/super-bullish-dogecoin-doge-price-prediction-but-is-it-too-outrageous/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">outlining</a> a rather ridiculous prediction. He presented a chart showing that DOGE could explode to an all-time high of $10 in the following months.
It is important to note that this would require its market cap to skyrocket to approximately $1.4 trillion. Currently, only Bitcoin (BTC) is close to that target, while the entire capitalization of the cryptocurrency sector is hovering around $2.44 trillion (per CoinGecko’s data).
Despite the bullish mode as of late, one metric <a href="https://www.cryptowaves.app/relative-strength-index/DOGE" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">suggests</a> DOGE could head south soon. This is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), whose ratio is currently above the critical level of 70. Such readings typically indicate that DOGE is in overbought territory and might be due for a pullback.&nbsp;
