Dogecoin, Will the Rally Continue?

Tesla began accepting Dogecoin for some of its merchandise. Elon Musk confirmed he is holding Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin. The rally in Dogecoin due to the SEC filing lifted DOGE higher.

According to CoinMarketCap, the trading volumes in DOGE increased by +217% at the time of writing.

Despite the re-hype over Dogecoin the path for the cryptocurrency is still unclear. When firm, bullish spikes take place in the market they tend to follow by some retracement. Stepn is a good example.

Dogecoin is already accepted by many companies as a form of payment. Besides Tesla, Petco, Nordstrom and GameStop are all accepting Dogecoin. Also, it is currently insufficient to trigger substantial gains in the cryptocurrency.

Dubbed as the 'internet's tipping currency', if Elon Musk is able to influence through Twitter by adding Dogecoin as one of the tipping options (jar) it may create another bullish wave for the meme coin.
