Dogecoin Bullish Signal: Whales Make $1.08 Billion Net DOGE Purchase

On-chain data shows the Dogecoin whales have gone on a strong
accumulation spree recently, a sign that could be bullish for
DOGE’s price. Dogecoin Whales Have Just Increased Holdings By
Around $1.08 Billion As pointed out by analyst Ali Martinez in a
new post on X, DOGE whales have been participating in buying
activities recently. The on-chain indicator of relevance here is
the “Supply Distribution” from the analytics firm Santiment, which
tells us about the total amount of the Dogecoin supply a given
wallet group is holding right now. Addresses or investors are
placed into these cohorts based on the number of coins that they
are carrying in their balance. In the context of the current topic,
the whale group is of interest, which comprises of the holders who
own between 10 million and 1 billion DOGE. At the current exchange
rate of the memecoin, the upper bound of the range converts to $3.5
million and the lower one to $350 million. Thus, the only investors
who would qualify as whales would be among the largest of entities
on the network. Related Reading: Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Sinks To

more power in the market, so the whales can occupy a key role in
the asset’s price action. This makes these holders’ supply worth
keeping an eye on, as any changes in it may end up reflecting in
the cryptocurrency. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst
that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution for the Dogecoin
whales over the past month or so: As displayed in the above graph,
the Dogecoin whales took their supply to a high at the start of
December, but then they reversed course toward a gradual selloff.
The slow distribution suddenly turned into a sharp plunge in the
indicator during the second half of the month, alongside which the
memecoin’s price also suffered a notable drawdown. Given the
timing, it’s probable the former was at least in part responsible
for the latter. After one last selling push around Christmas, the
whales finally stopped selling, but they also didn’t begin
accumulation as their supply showed a sideways trajectory. Related

This has changed in the last couple of days, as these humongous
entities have added a notable amount to their holdings. More
specifically, the whales have purchased a total of $1.08 billion
worth of coins during this surge in the metric. Once again, the
trend in the whale Supply Distribution appears to be translating to
Dogecoin’s value, which is displaying a recovery rally. It now
remains to be seen whether the whales will keep supporting this run
or if they would take some quick profits, potentially killing the
momentum. DOGE Price Dogecoin briefly surpassed the $0.350 level
earlier in the day, but the coin has since seen a small retrace to
$0.349. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from
