Why Is It Moving? DOGE moved in tandem with other major cryptocurrencies into the red after the weekend rally lost steam.

Even so, the social momentum for the Shiba Inu-themed continued to be strong as DOGE was the second most mentioned cryptocurrency after BTC on Twitter Inc’s (NYSE:TWTR) platform, as per Cointrendz data.

Meanwhile, Doge-themed products continue to be ever popular as well.
