The surge in bullish momentum spilled over to ethereum, which also saw a nearly three month high, hitting $3,195 on Sunday. The total market capitalization increased to $1.8 trillion as bullish buying saw a majority of the top 100 coins increase in value.

DOGE has had a tumultuous run since reaching its all-time high of $0.74 on May 8, 2021. However, following a drawn-out correction, a bounce was expected around the $0.15 support level as previously reported.
DOGE has seen a combined 43% gain since Friday. Climbing from $0.198 as it surged to Sunday’s high of $0.287. DOGE had previously bounced off of its resistance level at $0.16 on July 20.
SHIB follows its big brother

SHIB jumped from $0.00000613 from Friday, up to $0.00000888 on Sunday. Seeing a 45% gain, similar to that of DOGE.
The recent price action of DOGE finally has no influence from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk had previously added a profile picture of himself on Twitter with the Dogecoin logo in his sunglasses. DOGE climbed 20% from Musk’s profile update. However, this time the project appears to be climbing without any assistance from the DOGE fan.
