Wall Street Risk Aversion Bitcoin traded lower on Tuesday as risk aversion returned to Wall Street, according to Edward Moya, a senior market analyst with OANDA. Other major cryptocurrencies were also seen trading lower, including DOGE.

DOGE transactions Soar The number of large transactions, worth more than $100,000, on the Dogecoin network, touched a fourth-month high at 2,400, according to the chartist Ali Martinez.

“Such market behavior can act as a proxy for whales' activity, suggesting how they may be positioning for a big price move,” said Martinez.

DOGE Still Looks Awful — A Wrong Call? Cryptocurrency trader Justin Bennett tweeted Tuesday that “Doge looks awful” was the wrong call in the short term.

The reply guys had a field day with it. Thank goodness for them. Otherwise, I might never know when I'm wrong,” said the analyst. “A lot of unnecessary drama for yet another bull trap.”

Twitter Scambots, Dogecoin And Elon Musk Marcus Sotiriou, an analyst with the United Kingdom-based digital asset broker GlobalBlock, said — in a note seen by Benzinga — that it is unclear what Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk will do differently to tackle scam bots on Twitter Inc’s (NYSE: TWTR) platform.

“Scam bots are clearly a key issue that is having a significant impact, so Musk will be under pressure to tackle this problem,” said Sotiriou.

On Dogecoin’s rise Sotiriou said, “Speculators have been buying Dogecoin due to Elon’s obsession with the cryptocurrency, and hence the potential for Dogecoin to be given more utility on one of the biggest social media networks once Elon has official control of the company.”

Doge On The Web Dogecoin posted a tumbleweed meme and said “here are all the good reasons why [Dogecoin] is not part of the [Twitter] crypto tip jar feature.
