The Potential Price Impact of Elon Musk’s Departure on Dogecoin (DOGE)

Elon Musk’s Imminent Departure from D.O.G.E. Causes Concern Among Dogecoin Investors

Crypto market observers are cautious about the future of Dogecoin as billionaire Elon Musk prepares to step down from his role at the D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency). While this news may lead to short-term volatility, the long-term prospects remain steady for the memecoin.

According to a recent report by The Washington Post, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is aiming to leave his position as the head of D.O.G.E. by the end of the year. This announcement has shaken DOGE investors, who were previously very optimistic about the asset’s price, mainly due to Musk’s prominent role within this federal agency.

The American billionaire volunteered to lead D.O.G.E. alongside V. Ramaswamy under Donald Trump’s presidency this year. However, he has since faced considerable criticism, even contemplating his departure after a humiliating political reversal.

Despite aiding the U.S. government in saving several billions of dollars to date, many federal agencies have viewed skeptically the new advisory panel under Trump. CoinGape recently reported that Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced a new bill primarily to curtail Musk’s role within the SGE. Collectively, these indications suggest that it is only a matter of time before the American billionaire exits his federal role.

The direct impact of this news remains somewhat bearish for memecoin observers. As Tesla’s CEO prepares to step back from his governmental role, the hype around a federal agency named after a memecoin is also expected to dwindle, given Musk’s massive influence on the coin.

Therefore, traders and investors might panic and sell, leading to short-term volatility in price. However, the likelihood of a negative long-term impact remains negligible, according to global reports. 

The price of DOGE token is currently trading at $0.1638, slightly up by over 1% in a day and 2.5% in a week, due to broader recovery trends.

Crypto Analyst Remains Bullish Despite Musk’s Departure News

However, a crypto analyst has recently predicted a bullish outlook for Dogecoin despite concerns raised by this news. Analyst ZAYK Charts predicted that the memecoin price was gearing up for a massive bullish wave in the near future.

According to the analyst, Dogecoin‘s price is forming a “bullish channel breakout pattern” on the one-day chart. This pattern is primarily a bullish formation signaling a trend reversal from bearish to bullish. Market observers are speculating on the future price movement of the memecoin amidst uncertain news and bullish predictions.

While the news of Elon Musk’s imminent departure from D.O.G.E. raises concerns about the future of Dogecoin, the long-term prospects remain relatively stable. Some crypto analysts even foresee upward potential ahead.

The weekly chart shows a CMF at its lowest since December 2022. This demonstrates a capital outflow and/or disinterest in the memecoin. A rebound in the coming weeks will be crucial for the following months. Some view it as a huge opportunity to invest when others turn away from the industry’s largest memecoin.
