Dogecoin (DOGE) price up as meme coins rise

Is this an opportunity to buy more meme coins?

  • Dogecoin price spiked double-digits in 24 hours to hit its highest level in close to three months.
  • DOGE price broke above $0.13, above levels seen in July as several meme coins surged.

While the meme coin’s price rose amid broader optimism in the crypto market, which had Bitcoin above $68k, its likely Dogecoin benefited from fresh upside sentiment following latest comments by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Per data from CoinMarketCap, DOGE ranked as the best performing coin among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap on Friday morning. The dog-themed meme coin’s 10% in 24 hours gain came as Popcat, Mog Coin, Floki and cat in a dogs’ world all surged.

At the time of writing, the global meme coin market cap was up 3.6% to $62 billion, likely indicating a bullish flip for crypto is setting up.

As Dogecoin price eyes further gains, crypto analysts are suggesting a potential breakout in on cards.

Crypto trader Hardy says DOGE has seen a “textbook” falling wedge breakout and could be in for a wild run.
