Key Takeaways:
Dogecoin (DOGE) fell more than 10 percent this week to its lowest price since April 30, hitting just over $0.10 after failing to secure support above the $0.12 level. The sharp drop was met with significant buying from large-scale investors, who snapped up 525 million DOGE.
"The accumulation of hundreds of millions of DOGE by large holders during a significant price correction points to strategic positioning," said a crypto analyst. "This pattern often precedes a shift in short-term price dynamics as major players establish a potential support zone."
The 10% weekly slide was the most severe among larger-capitalization altcoins, data from CoinGecko shows. While the price fell, on-chain data trackers reported an accumulation of 525 million DOGE, valued at over $52.5 million at the time of the dip. This whale activity stands in contrast to trends seen in other major altcoins; for instance, large transaction volumes for XRP have fallen 57% over nine days, according to on-chain data, suggesting whales there are stepping back amid uncertainty.
This divergence between price and large-holder accumulation suggests sophisticated investors may believe a price bottom is near. While Shiba Inu (SHIB) sees its own on-chain dynamic of slowing exchange outflows, the aggressive buying in DOGE indicates a different kind of conviction. The key question for the market is whether this whale support can counteract the broader bearish sentiment and establish $0.10 as a new, durable support level for the token.
