The DOGE Factors

  • DOGE was not among the most mentioned coins on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) at press time, according to Cointrendz data.
  • The 24-hour trading volume for DOGE rose 66.35% to $941.96 million at press time, according to Cointrendz data.

Cryptos Rally Post Rate Hike Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies rallied after a smaller than feared rate hike of 0.5% was announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday. Edward Moya, a senior market analyst with OANDA said that “risky assets can rally now that Wall Street has fully priced in the rest of the year’s rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.”

The DOGE Chart Benzinga’s Melanie Schaffer wrote Wednesday that if DOGE is able to surge up above the April 30 and May 1 highs at the 0.136 level, the uptrend in the cryptocurrency will confirm as it has already printed a higher low at the 0.126 level on Tuesday. Other factors working in favor of the meme coin are a slightly higher relative strength index and a decrease in volume, which according to Schaffer is often followed by a surge.

Gucci Will Take Your DOGE Luxury retailer Gucci plans to accept DOGE and other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum for in-store payments from the end of this month. The first stores to accept the coin will be in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, according to a company statement.

DOGE On The Web Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus shared a Benzinga article detailing the largest commercial DOGE transaction to purchase BIG3 Basketball Team.

“Dogecoin is gonna be on a basketball jersey! and @Benzinga wrote the thing! much amuse,” said Markus.

BIG3 extended a welcome to the DOGE Army on Wednesday.
