The entire crypto market faced a quick volatile market which turned some hundreds to thousands. This all took place after the win of Donald Trump's Presidential election, and also Trump also giving Elon Musk who is the godfather of DOGE a very good position in the government sector. This will have some very positive impact in the pirce of DOGE in a very short period.
DOGE was not also left behind in the current bull run (neither is it left behind in the current retracement the entire market is experiencing). It is known that DOGE already have a big sum of supporters since Elon Musk developed the interest for it's growth and development. Elon Musk being the godfather, has his own effect on the price of DOGE, just as Donald Trump has his own effect on Bitcoin and probably the entire market (as Bitcoin can determine where the market direction goes).
I believe that after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, and the duties of his newly selected/elected government workers the market will have a very strong effect on Bitcoin and DOGE, as these two coins are to be seen in the White House. Also, the trust in these two will soar. DOGE as a meme coin will have more investors.
