Elon Musk appears to have not forgotten about Dogecoin as many may have thought. DOGE spiked more than 10% after the billionaire updated his Twitter picture to show that he still supports the cryptocurrency.

Musk’s NEW Twitter Photo Boosts DOGE price

Musk’s new profile picture is a head shot of him with DOGE reflections on his sunglasses, similar to that of Bitcoin’s Laser eyes meme which trended across Crypto Twitter in February.

This single action by the Tesla CEO saw the price for the meme-coin rise from $0. 18 to above $0. 203 overnight. However, the cryptocurrency has retraced and is currently trading at $0.183.

Dogecoin price

Dogecoin is down more than 75% from its all-time high (ATH) of $0. 7376 recorded in May. This massive drop forced investors to beg billionaire to tweet something positive about the coin to push it up. He has done this several times before.

Musk’s New Baby Doge

But, Tesla’s boss kept his profile low until he was ready for action earlier in the month. On July 1, Musk tweeted about Baby Doge, one of the latest Dogecoin copycats, and within minutes, the price of the cryptocurrency gained 90%.

With Musk’s endorsement, the meme coin was off to a great start. American auto racing sanctioning and operating company NASCAR even went on to brand the Baby Doge symbol on one of its cars.

Dogecoin Creator Explodes Crypto

However, Jackson Palmer, co-creator of Dogecoin is not happy with crypto industry despite the fact that he has a legendary position in the space. Palmer created a controversial discussion on Crypto Twitter last week that sparked a variety of reactions.

The DOGE co-founder believes almost everything is wrong with crypto right down to the concept of decentralization. He views crypto as a right-wing tool, which gives more profit to the wealthy and without restrictions from the government.

According to Palmer, money is always political, decentralization is an illusion, and the crypto industry is controlled by a “powerful cartel of wealthy figures.”

DOGE Soars 6 Percent, BTC Stuck At $17K Despite Low Trading Volumes (WeekendWatch)

Because it happens on weekends, trading volumes have dropped, which means that there are very few price movements for BTC.

Most altcoins have a similar situation, with some exceptions. Dogecoin is one of them after a 6% daily rise.

Bitcoin Boring at $17K

Last weekend was quite dull in terms of price actions, and BTC spent most of it around $16,500. Monday started with a price drop towards $16,000, but the bulls intercepted the move and didn’t allow any further declines.

More volatility was to be expected mid-week, when Jerome Powell, the US Fed Chair, announced the latest interest rates hike and the country’s employment report on Friday.

However, both events didn’t offer much price action , like previous occasions. Bitcoin remained relatively calm at around $17,000, except for a price pump above that level to chart a two-week high.

As the current weekend approached and arrived, BTC stood at $17,000 and has remained there. The trading volumes are down once more. Bitcoin’s market cap is still under $330 billion, while its dominance over the alts is at 38.3%.

DOGE Jumps 6 %

Most altcoins are following BTC’s weekend performance, but with very few substantial movements.

Ethereum has lost around 1% of value in the past 24 hours and has dumped towards $1,250. Binance Coin and Ripple, Cardano. Polygon. Polkadot. Shiba Inu. Litecoin are all at the same level as yesterday.

Dogecoin, the only exception to the larger-cap alts, is up by 6%. The OG memecoin trades at $0.1 and is up by 6% per day.

CELO and NEXO have also gained impressive percentages daily, up by 16% and 10%, respectively.

Overall, though, the crypto market cap has remained at the same place at $855 billion on CoinMarketCap.

Dogecoin jumps 9%, Fantom explodes 15% (MarketWatch)

Bitcoin dipped to $16,000 yesterday for the first time in about a week but bounced off and recovered a few hundred dollars. Some altcoins outperformed BTC though, such as Dogecoin and Litecoin.

Bitcoin Touched $16K

Last week saw a violent price drop from bitcoin that drove it from $16,500 to a two-year low of $15,500 in a few days. BTC was pushed north by the bulls who reacted to this fall. The asset jumped above $16,000, and even tried to challenge $17,000 by the end of the working week but to no avail.

The weekend was marked by a lack of volatility. Similar to the previous one, bitcoin calmed and stood around $16,500 for almost all of it.

The situation changed on Monday when the cryptocurrency dipped toward $16,000 and eventually touched that round-numbered line as reports claimed that minors are close to capitulating.

BTC reacted well at this point, though, and bounced off to its current level of approximately $16,500. This came amid on-chain analysis suggesting that smaller bitcoin investors had accumulated massive portions following the FTX saga.

FTM and DOGE, LTC Stand out

The alternative coins went through some notable price drops yesterday, especially Solana, Binance Coin, and Litecoin. However, the landscape is quite different now.

After dropping by 6% 24 hours ago, LTC has jumped by 6.6% now and trades above $75. Remember that LTC reached a six month peak last week.

BNB has reclaimed $300 following a 3% increase on the day. Cardano and Polkadot, Cardano, Polygon and Shiba Inu are all slightly greener than the larger-cap alts.

Dogecoin is the best performer from the top 10. DOGE has risen 8.5% to $0.1.

Fantom’s native token has soared the most from the top 100. FTM has added approximately 15% of value in a day and trades north of $0.2.

The crypto market cap has regained $15 billion since yesterday and stands at $835 billion now.
