How to explain this sudden increase?
The rise was triggered by Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential elections. Billionaire Elon Musk is indeed very associated with Dogecoin in the minds of investors, even if he has stopped publicly supporting the cryptocurrency. However, it is very likely that the CEO of Tesla will occupy a significant place in the future Trump government.
It is therefore the conjunction of these 2 events that caused the price of Dogecoin to skyrocket, which tends to experience high volatility as soon as Elon Musk is mentioned.

Will this last? This is the question to ask yourself. Although DOGE has exploded, it is still far from its all-time high and if his breakthroughs are impressive, so are his falls. But the asset clearly shows that it remains the king of memecoins for the moment.
