Interesting movements of Mantle, Litecoin, and Dogecoin

In the last few days, there has been some interesting price movement in the crypto markets. 

Today we analyze those of Mantle, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. 

The general trend of the crypto markets is still dominated almost exclusively by Bitcoin, and secondly by Ethereum, but there is some movement a bit different from the general trend. 

The trend of the price of Mantle 

One of the most interesting price movements in the last 24 hours in the crypto markets is that of Mantle’s cryptocurrency.

In fact, MNT today recorded a remarkable +20%, on a day when, for example, the price of Ethereum is quite steady. 

To tell the truth, after surpassing $0.91, it then dropped to $0.88, but yesterday it started from $0.72.

Furthermore, a month ago it was at $0.56, so the gain accumulated in the last thirty days rises even to 56%.

MNT landed on the crypto markets in 2023, but after the migration from BitDAO, which landed on the crypto markets in 2021. 

Having landed in the middle of a bullrun, the price of BitDAO during the bear-market of 2022 had dropped significantly, so much so that when MNT was born, the price dropped further, reaching a low of $0.31 a few months after the migration. 

This decline was then followed last year by a true bullrun, which brought the price of Mantle to its all-time highs, in April, above $1.5. However, in that case, the bullrun was followed by a bear-market, which lasted only a few months, but still managed to bring the price back to $0.55. 

In January of this year, thanks to the Trump-trade at the end of 2024, it managed to return to $1.35, but even in this case, there was then a strong retracement in the following months with a return to $0.56.

Therefore, up to today, there have already been three bullruns in total on BitDAO and Mantle, all three followed by a strong retracement. The first two retracements were then followed by a new bullrun, while the third has so far only been followed by a rebound. 

In other words, the trend of the MNT price in the medium/long term is different compared to, for example, that of Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

The trend of the price of Litecoin

A completely different discussion is the one concerning the price of Litecoin (LTC). 

In fact, since LTC landed on the markets in 2013, it has already gone through three major speculative bulles. 

The main one was in 2017, when in less than twelve months it went from less than $4 to over $300. 

After the bear-market of 2018, during the subsequent bubble (the one of 2021), it recorded new all-time highs at over $410, which is not much above those of the previous cycle. 

With the bear-market of 2022, it also fell below $50, for a brief moment, and only fully recovered later with the Trump-trade at the end of 2024. 

It is worth noting, however, both that at the end of 2024 it never managed to surpass $140, and that over the course of the last month it returned above $120 after plummeting below $70 in April. 

It is therefore a particularly volatile crypto in the medium term, but in the long term it seems to hold, despite everything, net of speculative bull and bear bubbles. 

The lows of the various cycles are indeed increasing, even if the highs after 2017 seem to be much less projected upwards than in the past. 

For example, before the Trump-trade, it had dropped to $65, while in 2025 the minimum was recorded just below $70, at least for now. However, the highs at the end of 2024 were limited to $140, and the highs of the last rebound did not exceed $130. 

The trend of the price of Dogecoin

Dogecoin (DOGE) is a topic of its own. 

In fact, not only is it a memecoin that is strangely enduring over the years, but it is also extremely dependent on the statements of a single person, Elon Musk. 

DOGE landed on the crypto markets back in 2013, but until 2021 it was a minor crypto. 

When Elon Musk started promoting it, it made a sensational price jump, which took it up to the all-time high of May 2021 at 0.73$.

At that point, one might have expected a collapse, as often happens with memecoins. This is also and especially due to the fact that Elon Musk seems to have stopped promoting the project.

And instead, after plummeting to $0.06 in 2022, during 2024 it recovered, with no less than two bullruns. 

The first, in April, brought the price above $0.2, while the second, at the end of the year, had brought it also above $0.45. 

Although during 2025 it then dropped back to $0.14, for now it has never again fallen to the levels of last October when it was hovering around $0.11.

In some ways, it follows a medium-term trend similar to Litecoin, even though in theory they should be two very different cryptocurrencies from each other. 

The current price of DOGE is still 72% lower than the all-time highs of 2021. However, if Elon Musk decides to resume promoting the project, new all-time highs are not out of the question.
