Dogecoin Price Slowly Forms a Rising Wedge Pattern
Dogecoin price rose on Tuesday as investors cheered the new reports on Elon Musk’s ambitions on payments. The coin jumped to a high of $0.095, the highest point since December 11 of last year. It has jumped by more than 39% from the lowest point in 2022.
Elon Musk’s Twitter ambitions
Dogecoin is associated with Elon Musk, the second-richest person on earth with a net worth of over $150 billion. Before he endorsed the coin, it was languishing as one of the many cryptocurrencies in the industry. Today, DOGE is a multi-billion dollar cryptocurrency that is owned by millions of people.
DOGE price rose after the Financial Times reported about Elon Musk’s plans for Twitter. He wants to make Twitter a leading payments provider. For example, he could build a product that makes it possible for people to send money to each other. Also, the payment platform could have features that enable people to pay to companies.
According to the FT, Musk will also seek to introduce crypto in Twitter’s ecosystem. If this happens, he will likely introduce Dogecoin, which is his most favorite’s cryptocurrency. Tesla, his main company, has already started accepting DOGE for its accessories business.
But there are two main unknowns. First, it is unclear when the new payment service will be launched. Second, it is still unclear whether users will embrace using Dogecoin in Twitter. With Tesla’s accessories, it is estimated that only a tiny percentage of users pay using the coin.
Therefore, Dogecoin price rose not because of anything major but because of this enthusiasm. In most periods, such rallies don’t last for a long time.
Dogecoin price prediction
Turning to the 4H chart, we see that the DOGE price has been in a bullish trend in the past few weeks. This price action is in line with that of other cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC. The coin has moved above all moving averages. It has also moved slightly below the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level.
A closer look also shows that the coin is in the process of forming a rising wedge pattern, which is usually a bearish sign. But the wedge is yet to reach its confluence level. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the coin will continue consolidating and then have a bearish breakout. If this happens, the key level to watch will be at $0.085.
Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
