The Dogecoin price crashed 7% in the past 24 hours on news that Twitter is being sued for mass layoffs, and meme coin rival Shiba Inu pumped.

The second largest meme cryptocurrency, SHIB is known for something of an inverse correlation to DOGE, or for pumping after money is divested out of Dogecoin.

Dogecoin Price Drop in November

After its over 160% pump since late October, some form of correction was likely – Dogecoin is now down around 25% from its November 1st high of $0.158.

The breaking news in Bloomberg of a Twitter lawsuit could lead to a further Dogecoin crash, although its market structure hasn’t yet flipped bearish, still green on the weekly candle which opened at $0.117.

The class action lawsuit centres around Elon Musk’s plan to lay off half the workforce, approximately 3,700 employees.

Workers claim Twitter Inc. is doing that without sufficient notice and therefore in violation of federal and California law.
