Gigantic Amount of Dogecoin Purchased as Whales Re-enter the Crypto Market
In a recent development, Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a significant accumulation of over 1 billion coins by major holders, also known as whales. This calculated move is primarily driven by institutional confidence, favorable price levels, and key positive catalysts such as Elon Musk’s influence and potential payment integration.
The accumulation, occurring on a major exchange, took place between Aug. 5 and 6, with the price of DOGE dipping to around $0.194 and then bouncing back. Despite this accumulation, the market has not reacted much, and the price of Dogecoin has not yet increased significantly following the accumulation.
Large holders have been accumulating DOGE since late June, snapping up over 1 billion coins (~$200 million) within days. This confident buying while prices remain relatively low (down 72% from its all-time high) and trading within historically favorable buy zones is a clear indication of the whales' belief in the cryptocurrency's potential.
On-chain data and price charts show DOGE’s price breaking resistance levels around $0.22 to $0.23 with bullish patterns forming, such as a double bottom and wedge patterns, that signal potential for volatility and upward momentum. Continued accumulation by whales often precedes significant price rallies.
Speculation and hints about Dogecoin becoming a payment method on Elon Musk’s X social media platform reignited buying interest, triggering immediate price surges and reinforcing institutional buying confidence. The broader crypto market overall has also rebounded, and Dogecoin benefits from a strong retail and social media presence, with vibrant community engagement and increasing wallet addresses, supporting a robust ecosystem that whales likely view positively.
This accumulation may indicate a bet on an incoming reversal or position building ahead of an unpriced event. As such, it serves as a potential indicator of future market activity for Dogecoin. The term "#Dogecoin" is currently trending in news related to the cryptocurrency, indicating a high interest in recent news about the digital asset.
