What’s Driving The Rally: Meme coins have been on an uptrend since late April and the strength was sustained for much of the week amid the Federal Reserve’s rate decision and Jerome Powell’s dovish comments.
The weekend acceleration came as some publications reported that Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle company Tesla would accept payment for certain products in Doge on its online shop. This, however, is not a new development.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez predicted on Wednesday that Doge could be priming for a bull run. Sharing a long-term chart of the crypto on X, formerly Twitter, he said the meme coin was tracing a pattern, which has been a precursor for the bull runs in the past.
