Popular meme token Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) saw rather intense selling pressure today. This dog-based digital currency was down 8.6% as of 10 a.m. ET, and hit a daily low of as much as 9.6% over the past 24 hours, in earlier trading. Since then, DOGE has begun to recover, down approximately 5% at 1 p.m. ET.
This week has been a relatively volatile one in the crypto world. For dog-inspired meme tokens, this volatility generally outpaced the market.
