Market Moves by Sebastian Sinclair Dogecoin Jumps 22% on Coinbase Moves, Elon Musk Tweet
Dogecoin (DOGE) is once again running with the wolves after Tesla’s Elon Musk tweeted “potentially promising” news for the network.
Meanwhile, U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase announced it would be adding DOGE to its suite of crypto offerings in six to eight weeks, likely due to client demand as has been the case with other major exchanges.
Prices across major exchanges including Binance, Bitfinex, FTX, Gemini and Poloniex are posting around 22% gains over a 24-hour period for the Shibu Inu-inspired meme coin. The cryptocurrency is currently changing hands for around $0.48. The increase came even as other major cryptocurrencies’ prices sank.
Doge prices, April 9 - May 15, 2021 (Source: TradingView/Binance) According to a Twitter comment by Musk on Thursday evening, Tesla and its CEO are “working with Doge” developers to “improve system transaction efficiency.”
The world’s second-richest man has played a large role in DOGE’s astronomical 9,400% rise in value since it was just a pup trading at around $0.005 on Jan. 1.
Dogecoin started as a joke in 2013 by creators Jack Palmer and Billy Markus to draw newcomers to the cryptocurrency industry. It has since gained immense fame at least partly because of celebrity endorsements from the likes of Snoop Dogg and Kiss’s Gene Simmons.

Technician's Take by Damanick Dantes Bitcoin Stabilizes After Sell-Off; Faces Resistance Near $53K Bitcoin (BTC) is rising from oversold levels as traders digest the news from Tesla’s announcement on Wednesday which triggered a near 15% price drop. The cryptocurrency held support around $46,000 and is currently trading back above $50,000 at the time of writing.
However, long-term momentum continues to weaken which could limit price recoveries this weekend and into next week. Four-hour bitcoin chart shows support and resistance levels with RSI (Source: TradingView) Bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase with frequent drawdowns, which was in effect for several months before the Tesla announcement.The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart registered an oversold signal on Thursday, which could keep buyers active towards $53,000-$54,000. On the daily chart, the RSI is not yet oversold. Meanwhile, the weekly RSI has receded from extreme overbought levels and is now neutral. This means stronger support around $42,000 should not be ruled out. Additionally, bitcoin on May 10 made a lower price high on the daily chart around $59,000, which suggests the short-term trend is weakening.
