In a recent X post, Elon Musk acknowledged the leading memecoin by market cap on his response to Donald Trump’s political proposition. The former US president revealed that he was open to naming Musk for an advisory role or cabinet job if he won the election.

Talking to Reuters, the presidential candidate for the Republican party called X’s owner a “brilliant guy.” He also suggested that he would offer Musk a position if he were open to it. “He’s a very smart guy. I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would,” Trump said.

Others brought back old X posts where Musk, referred to as the “Dogefather,” shared his support for Dogecoin against the global financial .

The apparent endorsement comes after Musk clarified the crypto stance. As reported by NewsBTC, the CEO made a virtual guest appearance at The X Takeover event at the end of July.

DOGE’s Price Surges 6%

The memecoin had experienced a 9.3% recovery from the August 5 crash, when it lost its support above the $0.1 level and dropped to the $0.08 range. Following Musk’s post, Dogecoin’s price climbed to the $0.1056 mark, a 6.5% surge in the last 24 hours.

The memecoin’s market activity also increased nearly 50% from one day ago, reaching a daily trading volume of $699.5 million. DOGE’s recent performance has made some market watchers consider that a bullish move for the token could be coming and that “all eyes are awaiting a breakout.”

Crypto trader Galaxy Trading considers that the memecoin will likely “lead the charge in the very near future” given the current performance. According to the trader, DOGE often serves as a “key signal for the entire crypto space.” He suggested that investors keep an eye on it as it potentially will trigger a wider market uptrend.

Some analysts concur that DOGE’s breakout won’t happen until the whole market gains momentum again in Q4. Crypto analyst Kaleo believes that not much has changed for Dogecoin since the market recovery. However, he noted that the token has established a “potential upper bounds of ~$0.111 for the new range.”
