News that Coinbase Pro will allow trading in Dogecoin from tomorrow (June 3) sent the meme-inspired coin sharply higher as traders begin to price in the added liquidity and potential buying interest from a new pool of investors. Coinbase Pro accounts will be able to transfer their Dogecoin holdings into their professional accounts’ if liquidity measures are met’ according to a company blog post. Coinbase Pro is geared towards the more active trading accounts compared to the normal Coinbase account.

If Coinbase Pro adoption is successful, then the standard accounts are likely to have trading access to Dogecoin in the coming weeks.

Dogecoin is currently trading 25% on a 24-hour basis, fueled in part by a tweet from ‘Dogefather’ Elon Musk (TSLA) who appeared to approve the move, boosting the attraction of the coin.

The daily chart shows Dogecoin touching a fresh two-week high and eyeing further gains. The recent series of lower highs has been broken, while a series of higher lows off the May 19 low at $0.21 remain in place. A prior high at $0.45 may temper the move in the short term (DOGE-X).
