Crypto investors braced for new highs on hyped #Dogeday420

Amateur cryptocurrency investors are aiming to push Dogecoin’s price further up its meteoric rise to $0.69 on April 20, a day marked as Doge Day 4/20.

In early January 2021, a Reddit group known as SatoshiStreetBets sought to actively pump up Dogecoin’s value by encouraging other group members to buy in an effort to propel the coin’s value “to the moon.”

The move was seen by many as inspired or at the very least similar in nature to the GameStop short-squeeze initiated by Reddit group WallStreetsBets in early 2021.

Investors and supporters of the coin, that features the face of the Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” meme as its logo and namesake, are now attempting to turn April 20 into an international day of celebration for Dogecoins, making #Dogeday420 viral on Twitter and Reddit.

As of April, SatoshiStreetBets had 400,000 members while the Dogecoin subreddit boasted over 1.4 mln members.

The same investors declared that their target value to reach on 4/20 is 69 cents per Dogecoin.

A telegram group titled “WallStreetBets Pump #Doge” is also circulating calls to action to pump Dogecoin for 4/20, and has grown to nearly 400,000 subscribers. Dogecoin investors plan to continue the pump past 4/20 hoping to reach the value of $4.20 by June.

“Considering the recent gains and interest of Dogecoin, combined with the size of the Reddit and Telegram groups aiming to pump this, the target value of 69 cents is well within reach,” said Rex Pascual, editor at TradingPlatforms.

“We saw what happened to GameStock when these digital communities coordinated investment pumping campaigns and succeeded in taking the stock to record levels”.
