Key Market Movements
Cryptocurrencies exhibited mixed performance, with Dogecoin (DOGE) retracing Tuesday’s gains and Solana (SOL) leading the rebound with an 8% surge. Major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and BNB saw modest gains under 1%, while XRP and SOL climbed up to 7%.
Highlights:
- DOGE dropped 7.5% to $0.36 amid profit-taking, reversing its Tuesday pump from $0.34 to $0.38.
- SOL outperformed, rising 8% as crypto markets recovered mid-week losses.
- Hyperliquid’s HYPE token led large-cap gains with a 13% rally.
Dogecoin’s Volatility
DOGE’s Tuesday surge followed the appearance of its logo on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) website. However, the site was later updated to remove the token’s display, replacing it with a generic dog animation and a dollar sign.
🔍 Analyst Insight:
“Profit-taking was inevitable after DOGE’s abrupt rally. Traders are now eyeing macroeconomic cues, including U.S. tariff policies, for directional signals.”
— Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE
