Dogecoin’s 5% Jump Amid X Marketplace Buzz — Could $MAXI Ride the Wave?

Dogecoin’s 5% Jump Amid X Marketplace Buzz — Could $MAXI Ride the Wave?

KEY POINTS:

➡ $DOGE rebounded to $0.20 on October 20 after Elon’s announcement about X launching Handles Marketplace

➡ This, after it fell from $0.27 to $0.18 on October 6, marks Dogecoin’s first meaningful bounce after two consecutive losing weeks.

➡ XHandles Marketplace will redistribute unused handles to eligible subscribers, while traders eagerly anticipate a potential XHandles x Dogecoin payment integration.

This weekend, the market saw yet another Musk-related announcement impact $DOGE’s price action, causing the token to rebound to $0.20 on October 20.

As the news about Elon Musk’s X marketplace for unused usernames (XHandles) broke, $DOGE rebounded by 11%. That’s after two consecutive losing weeks since October 6.

The XHandles Marketplace website launched with a big waitlist of users antsy to join before the big rollout.

So what’s the Marketplace for? XHandles will redistribute unused handles to eligible subscribers who can search, request, and purchase them.

As this represents a monetization step by X, paving the way for on-platform microtransactions, traders may be anticipating a potential Dogecoin integration with XHandles.

While not yet confirmed by Musk, this hype and community narrative alone are already reflected in $DOGE’s market performance, reinforcing Musk’s influence on Dogecoin’s public image.

The increased speculation surrounding the meme coin led to a 10.88% rise in open interest, a 6.86% increase in trading volumes, and $6.05M in $DOGE liquidations for traders. Of the total $8.44M in liquidations over the last 24 hours, short traders made up 58% of intraday losses ($5.88M), compared to long positions ($2.56M).

With a long-to-short ratio at 1.38, the market remains relatively balanced, with a slight edge towards the bulls.

Looking back, $DOGE’s October losses were amplified by broader market headwinds (US Government shutdown) and the $1.2B crypto liquidations on Friday. If the market volatility spikes, $DOGE could experience sharp price swings both upward and downward in the coming days.

However, things are looking brighter for Musk’s favorite coin now. The token has rebounded nearly 7% in 24 hours, now hovering over $0.20, around the middle Bollinger band, implying it’s recovering from oversold levels.

The RSI (14) is at 29, and the average RSI is at 43 (below the neutral 50), meaning the token is in a recovery phase with a mild upward momentum. The trading volume standing steady at 151M reflects a consolidation phase where traders are accumulating, awaiting a more potent catalyst like confirmation of the $DOGE x XHandles integration.

If $DOGE clears the key $0.22 resistance, a rally toward $0.26–$0.28 may follow — and good news like the confirmation of XHandle–Dogecoin payments could reignite the push toward the psychological $1 mark.

With XHandles payment speculation solidifying, investors are turning to emerging opportunities in the Doggone Doggerel category to capitalize on Dogecoin’s renewed momentum.

Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – a satirical ERC-20 meme coin inspired by Shiba Inu and Baby Doge, has emerged as the latest contender aiming to chase the next meme-coin wave.

Maxi Doge ($MAXI): The Bigger, Bolder Brother of DOGE

Maxi Doge ($MAXI) leans into degen, gym-bro, GigaChad energy, promoting all-in, high-octane trading mindset.

Like most meme coins, utility isn’t $MAXI’s core focus. Instead, the project plans to motivate its community through trading contests and gamified partner events.

As we saw with the likes of Shiba Inu and Baby Doge, there’s nothing stopping $MAXI from emerging as the next big Doge in the pack.

With its bold motto, ‘Extreme pain, max gains!’, the project taps into the true spirit of meme coin trading — appealing to risk-loving investors and adding fresh energy to the ‘Dawg coin’ hype cycle.

The project’s solid tokenomics speaks for itself – a 25% total supply allocated for ‘Maxi Fund’, which will drive exposure and optimize pump dynamics. That means early buyers could benefit from heightened project visibility and eventual token appreciation from aggressive promotions.

As of today, one $MAXI trades at $0.0002635 with a compelling 82% APY — meaning early backers could benefit from today’s bargain price and earn passive income even before TGE.

The staking APY will gradually reduce as more people join the pool, making now your final window to lock in the $MAXI tokens at today’s rate and maximize your returns.

Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution

Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution

The post Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In this week’s edition of InnovationRx, we look at possible pain treatments from cannabis, risks of new vaccine restrictions, virtual clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic, GSK’s $30 billion U.S. manufacturing commitment, and more. To get it in your inbox, subscribe here. Despite their addictive nature, opioids continue to be a major treatment for pain due to a lack of effective alternatives. In an effort to boost new drugs, the FDA released new guidelines for non-opioid painkillers last week. But making these drugs hasn’t been easy. Vertex Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for its non-opioid Journavx in January, then abandoned a next generation drug after a failed clinical trial earlier this summer. Acadia similarly abandoned a promising candidate after a failed trial in 2022. One possible basis for non-opioids might be cannabis. Earlier this year, researchers at Washington University at St. Louis and Stanford published a study showing that a cannabis-derived compound successfully eased pain in mice with minimal side effects. Munich-based pharmaceutical company Vertanical is perhaps the furthest along in this quest. It is developing a cannabinoid-based extract to treat chronic pain it hopes will soon become an approved medicine, first in the European Union and eventually in the United States. The drug, currently called Ver-01, packs enough low levels of cannabinoids (including THC) to relieve pain, but not so much that patients get high. Founder Clemens Fischer, a 50-year-old medical doctor and serial pharmaceutical and supplement entrepreneur, hopes it will become the first cannabis-based painkiller prescribed by physicians and covered by insurance. Fischer founded Vertanical, with his business partner Madlena Hohlefelder, in 2017, and has invested more than $250 million of his own money in it. With a cannabis cultivation site and drug manufacturing plant in Denmark, Vertanical has successfully passed phase III clinical trials in Germany and expects…

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715. The near-term trend of the pair remains bearish as it stays below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around 1.3800. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level. Going forward, the asset could slide towards the round level of…
