Why Is It Moving? DOGE’s rise came in tandem with other major coins as the global cryptocurrency market cap rose 3.1% to $2.1 trillion at press time.

DOGE was included in the “Top 10 Mentions” on Twitter list compiled by Cointrendz. At press time, the cryptocurrency attracted 3,076 tweets.

The three most discussed coins on the list were Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. They attracted 11,327, 4,673, and 4,231 tweets, respectively. 

Consumer Price Inflation numbers released Wednesday by the Labor Department indicate that the growth of inflation touched a record high of 7%, the fastest since 1982. In parallel, the dollar index tumbled on the same day. The fall of the greenback was attributed to a “sell the news” event by OANDA Senior Analyst Edward Moya, who said it was positive for the apex cryptocurrency.

Pseudonymous-analyst Kaleo tweeted Wednesday that assuming DOGE does not retrace current levels, the next point of resistance for the coin is 24 cents.

Kaleo also called out DOGE-bull and Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk and said if the entrepreneur still believed in memes “it’s time.”

While 420 is associated with cannabis culture, 69 has sexual connotations. Musk's tweets at times contain references to both.
