However, in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies, extreme RSI levels (overbought and oversold levels) often signal a potential for a rebound.
Inasmuch, Sumit Kapoor, founder of WiseAdviceSumit noted,
“Bullish recovery soon.”
Notably, up until the 3rd of July, the MACD indicator hinted at the bullish sentiment, but a shift occurred on the 4th of July as bearish forces gained momentum, highlighting the ongoing volatility in DOGE’s market.
Musk remains positive for the dog-themed memecoin
However, despite this massive downturn, billionaire & entrepreneur, Elon Musk in a recent interview, stated,
“I intent to personally support Dogecoin.”
His comments have emerged as a ray of hope for investors concerned about DOGE’s declining price trend.
In a separate interview, Musk also claimed,
“Dogecoin is better suited for transactions as compared to Bitcoin.”

Interestingly, both Bitcoin and Dogecoin serve as benchmarks for the broader crypto market.
When Bitcoin declines, it typically triggers a market-wide downturn. Similarly, when Dogecoin falls, the entire memecoin segment follows suit.
This pattern underscores the significant influence these top coins have on market trends and investor behavior.
As of the latest update, Bitcoin was trading at $54,000, marking a 4.72% decline in the past 24 hours. Consequently, the global crypto market cap decreased by 6.91%, now standing at $1.99 trillion.
Dogecoin, on the other hand, was changing hands at $0.09551, experiencing a significant 15.55% drop within the same timeframe.
Similarly, the memecoin market cap was at $38.1 billion, reflecting a substantial 20.1% decline in the last 24 hours as per CoinGecko.
