Is Dogecoin Mirroring Pepe? A Drop To $0.2 Could Be Imminent For DOGE
Dogecoin (DOGE) has enjoyed extra attention from investors, especially since Donald Trump took office and put Elon Musk in charge of D.O.G.E. — an acronym for Department of Government Efficiency. However, this interesting relationship is not particularly reflected in the price of the meme token. In fact, the meme coin market has been reeling from the liquidity-gulping effect of the TRUMP token and other political tokens that followed its launch. According to data from CoinGecko, the meme market cap stands at around $93.5 billion, reflecting an almost 10% decline in the past day. Is A 35% Decline On The Horizon For DOGE? In a recent post on the X platform, prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that two of the biggest meme tokens, Dogecoin and Pepe, are showing a high degree of correlation. The crypto pundit noted that the Dogecoin price appears to be mirroring the price of PEPE. It is not unusual for two tokens to follow a similar price trajectory, especially if they fall into the same market category (as seen with Dogecoin and Pepe). While there is no guarantee that the DOGE price is mirroring PEPE’s price, this seeming correlation could provide insight into the future trajectory of the former. According to Martinez, a deep correction could be on the cards for the price of Dogecoin if it is truly following PEPE. This bearish forecast is based on the breach of a key support level around $0.000017 by the Pepe price towards the end of February. The price of PEPE witnessed a sharp decline to around $0.000011 (an over 35% drop) after breaking this crucial support. This support zone lies around the $0.31 mark on the Dogecoin chart and has provided a cushion for the DOGE price multiple times in the past.

With no major support around this area to cushion this downturn, the DOGE price could potentially suffer an even worse decline. Dogecoin Price Overview As of this writing, the price of DOGE stands at around $0.305, reflecting an over 3% fall in the last 24 hours. This single-day performance emphasizes the meme coin’s struggles in recent weeks, with nearly a 12% decline in the past seven days. After reaching a local high of $0.46 in early December, the price of Dogecoin witnessed a downturn to around $0.26 in less than three weeks. However, the meme token has been moving mostly sideways, hovering around the $0.35 region.

While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies. Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part - in fact, far from it. Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger. When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix. Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books - ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K. Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that. Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings. Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better. Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
