Billionaire Elon Musk has been a long-time supporter of Dogecoin and he has not been shy when it comes to talking about his love for the meme coin. Usually, when Musk talks about DOGE, the price tends to go up as investors rush to capitalize on the publicity. However, it is not the case this time around because despite Musk mentioning the meme coin, its price has gone in the opposite direction. Elon Musk Says Don’t Bet On Crypto Or Dogecoin Tesla CEO Elon Musk spoke at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit held in London and among other topics, he touched on the crypto industry and Dogecoin in particular. Musk once again professed his support for Dogecoin, saying he likes the meme coin because of its humor and the fact that it incorporated dogs.

At different points since then, Musk’s posts have also moved the price positively. But his stance this time around has deviated from what is normally expected and the price of DOGE has suffered for it. DOGE Price Retraces Despite Musk Mention In one of the rare cases, the price of Dogecoin has actually retraced after Musk mentioned the meme coin during his interview. The price is down over 3% in the last 24 hours alone and is now trading dangerously close to the $0.07 support level.

Also, with Bitcoin seeing losses, it has taken the market down with it, so there is not much room for recovery for DOGE at this time.

Such a move would no doubt lead to an at least 50% upside for the meme coin, and it could be a catalyst for its next rally. At the time of writing, DOGE is changing hands at a price of $0.07113.
