The US Election is just 5-days away and Elon Musk has triggered skyrocketing moves in the meme coin market after returning to center stage as the so-called ‘Dogefather’ CEO of DOGE.
This comes as crypto markets embrace a massive pre-election rally, with Bitcoin price teetering on the edge of a new all-time high after smashing above $72,000 this week in a move fuelled by institutional money.
Prominent crypto traders are backing the emerging trend, with some highlighting the potent low-time-frame image of 3 consecutive ‘falling wedge’ patterns followed by breakout moves.
This bolsters DOGE holder confidence as the coin seems set to continue it’s upside trend, especially as Elon Musk draws attention to the meme coin amid a cultural war moment in the Presidential race.
Elon Musk is Back as the Biggest Supporter of DOGE: And The Nation is Watching
But what’s been going on with Elon Musk’s campaigning for Donald Trump? And what’s DOGE got to do with it?
Amid one of the most fiercely fought US Election campaigns in recent times, Elon Musk has stepped into the spotlight once again to back Trump for the Whitehouse, in fact, his involvement has gone so-far as to be offered a job working in the pro-Bitcoin Trump administration.
So Musk is on the campaign trail, locking in on key swing states like Pennsylvania, and hype has centered around his supposed status as the CEO of D.O.G.E – the Department of Government Efficiency.
On October 28, Elon Musk tweeted a Dogecoin meme on X, stirring excitement over DOGE price as it broke out from its falling wedge pattern.
Then things went further again on October 29, when Musk appeared on stage at a Trump rally, being announced as the CEO of DOGE.
In the 24-hours since, DOGE price has exploded bringing the top meme coin’s 7D gain to an impressive 21.9%, and leading a broader meme coin market rally.
DOGE Price Analysis: Is DogeCoin Going to Skyrocket if Trump Wins the US Election Next Week?
As hype fuels momentum for Dogecoin, DOGE price is currently trading at $0.16 (a 24-hour change of -3.74%).
While shifting into a localized retracement on the daily this morning, the DOGE price is simply cooling off after a dramatic +25% climb since Monday as bulls seek to consolidate hard-fought gains.
Currently positioned well above the 200-day moving average (200DMA), the DOGE price is testing support at the ascending 20-day moving average (20DMA) around $0.17.
This comes right after a golden cross saw the 20DMA rip high on Sunday, ahead of the bullish impetus from Elon Musk’s US election campaigning.
Today’s consolidation of the $0.15-$0.17 range has improved sentiment on the RSI, scaling it down from an overheated 81 to a bullish 48, suggesting DOGE crypto is poised to push high again from here.
The next target for DOGE price stands at $0.2 (+17.55%), while downside risk could see a return to $0.15 (-11.85%).

The DOGE price currently offers a risk-reward ratio of 1.48, presenting a good entry point with reasonable upside potential.
However, those hunting for low-cap gems might not find a modest +17.55% gain that is particularly enticing.
