Elon Musk's Japan-centric post triggered a crypto sugar rush, proving once again that markets love vague international endorsements. ETH jumped 0.38% in 1 minute, peaking at 1.06% over 5 minutes before settling at 0.83% after 10 minutes: stronger than the 0.32% average for similar Japan-themed posts. DOGE mirrored its usual theatrics with a 1.23% spike at 5 minutes, though its 10-minute performance (0.61%) was less impressive than the 0.67% from the July 21 GORK-related Japan post. GORK, ever the contrarian, dipped 1% at 5 minutes—oddly consistent with its 0.74% drop during unrelated U.S. posts. Volatility remains tame by Muskian standards: ETH’s 1.06% swing is barely a third of its 3% moves during peak 2025 nonsense. DOGE’s 1.23% is practically a nap compared to its 10% meme-fueled tantrums. Nothing says efficient markets like algorithms parsing "Japan" and "breaking" as buy signals for Ethereum.
