Dogecoin Price Predictions Now Bullish as Elon Musk Twitter Takeover Back On?

cryptonews.com:

The Dogecoin price is up almost 10% today as Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition is back on the table. Will Dogecoin recover to its 2021 highs though?

A letter sent to Twitter's lawyers from 'the Musk parties' on the sec.gov website states:

Gentlemen: On behalf of X Holdings I, Inc., X Holdings II, Inc. and Elon R. Musk (the “Musk Parties”), we write to notify you that the Musk Parties intend to proceed to closing of the transaction contemplated by the April 25, 2022 Merger Agreement.

Twitter shares have also pumped on the news, more so than DOGE - could cryptocurrency be lagging behind stocks, and the DOGE price be set to rise higher?

The Twitter share price closed the Tuesday session up 22%, at $52.05. Elon Musk is set to buy Twitter at $54.20 per share, for $44 billion.

Twitter Investor Relations (@TwitterIR) has today confirmed the deal:

Dogecoin now is trading at around $0.065, having hit an intraday high of just over $0.066 at press time.

Dogecoin is still down approximately 92% from its all time high of $0.74 hit shortly before Elon Musk appeared on Saturday Night Live to discuss the meme coin, in May 2021.

Despite that 18 month bear market, Dogecoin still commands a $8.7 billion market capitalization, the largest meme token in the crypto market.

Its closest competitor Shiba Inu, has a market cap of $6.3 billion, and new meme coin Tamadoge recently rose 1,870% from its token presale to hit an over $150 million market cap.

With its high market cap, and being an inflationary asset, Dogecoin may struggle to recover - every Elon Musk tweet or news that previously caused a Dogecoin price pump - such as Tesla accepting DOGE for merchandise purchases, and later SpaceX - has fully retraced.

Conservative investors may wish to wait to see
