The past week in the cryptocurrency world was a rollercoaster ride, with major coins like Dogecoin DOGE/USD, Bitcoin BTC/USD, and Ethereum ETH/USD experiencing significant fluctuations. From optimistic forecasts to sharp downturns, the crypto market kept investors on their toes. Here’s a quick recap of the week’s major stories.
Dogecoin’s Final Leg Up?
A well-known cryptocurrency analyst, Cas Abbé, expressed optimism that Dogecoin could experience one last surge, potentially pushing the meme coin closer to its all-time highs. Abbé compared the current market conditions to those of the first half of 2021, when Dogecoin soared to $0.70. The analyst believes that the next DOGE run will be fueled by Elon Musk and the D.O.G.E hype.
Crypto Market Faces Sharp Downturn
The cryptocurrency market took a hit in 24 hours as of Tuesday, with Bitcoin dropping to a low of $87,115 before stabilizing at $88,850, marking a 7% decline. Ethereum saw an even steeper drop of 10%, trading at $2,420. Major altcoins also suffered losses, with Solana down 15%, Dogecoin losing 14%, and Shiba Inu and XRP falling by 10%.
