- Being a popular cryptocurrency, its inherent volatility is worth considering.
Dogecoin supporters are wondering what heights it will reach in 2021? This cryptocurrency is an all-time favourite among small investors. Started in 2010, it is gaining a reputation as a high-profit cryptocurrency now, much thanks to Elon Musk. The market cap is around US$42 Billion and currently trades around US$0.31-0.32.
Recent Developments
On Sunday, Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla will resume allowing bitcoin transactions upon miners using more clean energy. This has caused a price surge of around 10%. Even Etherium and Litecoin have risen around 5%. Since Dogecoin is based on another cryptocurrency, Luckycoin, which is based on Litecoin, even Dogecoin prices surged. Another reason is that the Dogecoin community is vivacious. Yesterday, technical analyst Eric Thies tweeted that he could see a hidden bullish divergence on DOGE one-week chart. He has more than 39K followers on Twitter, and this certainly was one of the reasons for Dogecoin reaching US$0.33.
Is Dogecoin that popular?
Although launched as a meme currency, its speedy growth has made it one of the best cryptos on investors’ watchlist. Many cryptocurrency researchers believe in its potential. It has also never lost popularity since its launch with an ever-increasing customer base. It has been a hot favourite twitter topic for Elon Musk (SpaceX CEO) and famous rap artist Snoop dog. Even TikTok trends on Dogecoin have been quite popular.
