Dogecoin whale activity has reached its highest level in a month, according to data from market analyst Ali Martinez. In a post on X, Martinez revealed that large transactions above $1 million surged past 100 on August 13 as the meme coin’s price tested the $0.25 mark. The increase follows a 26% recovery from early August lows near $0.195. Whale Transactions Reach Monthly Peak The jump in whale transaction count above 100 marks the most active day for large holders since mid-July. In the preceding weeks, daily whale transactions mostly ranged between 20 and 60. Whale bought 2 billion Doge Dogecoin Price Recovery Mirrors Whale Transactions The increase in whale transactions mirrors the recovery in prices. DOGE began the period trading near $0.24 in late July before sliding steadily to a monthly low of about $0.195 on August 2–3. However, a steady rebound followed, coinciding with several smaller whale transaction spikes. By August 7, the price had risen above $0.24 before retreating to roughly $0.23. The latest surge in whale activity occurred as DOGE climbed again, reaching $0.246. This level sits just below the $0.25–$0.252 resistance zone, which has capped multiple rallies in recent weeks. Notably, Dogecoin has failed to reach the $0.25 level, now trading at $0.2285, a 9.5% drop in the past day following the broader market trends. For context, Bitcoin has seen a 3.3% drop in the same period. Dogecoin Accumulation May Signal Potential Price Surge The latest whale accumulation follows periods of similar large buys this year. In May, Martinez reported that Dogecoin whales accumulated over 1 billion DOGE in a month, raising their total holdings to 25.97 billion. The accumulation coincided with a 53% price surge the preceding week and a 3.56% daily gain. Notably, Dogecoin surged from $0.227 on May 16 by 11.7% to reach $0.2536 by May 23 after the reported accumulation. Similarly, Dogecoin’s whales added 200 million tokens in March, boosting their stash to 10.5B DOGE worth $2.14B. This steady buying helped DOGE rebound 42% from its $0.1432 low after a 70% correction, reclaiming key support at $0.16. What’s Next for Dogecoin? Now, despite the recent price dip, analyst Trader Tardigrade said Dogecoin is ready to pump. Dogecoin’s weekly chart mirrors its pre-2021 rally setup, with price consolidating between $0.15 and $0.30 and forming higher lows. Dogecoin Weekly chart A clean break above the $0.30 neckline could target $0.45 and $0.70 if momentum builds. The bullish case hinges on holding $0.15–$0.18. Nonetheless, a drop under $0.18 would weaken the outlook. In contrast, pseudonymous analyst Alien Ovicho noted that Dogecoin is in the midst of a short-term pullback after completing a five-wave rally from its August 3 low. Dogecoin is bearish The 4-hour chart shows DOGE entering a three-wave corrective structure, with current price action near $0.222 and a projected path toward $0.24 before potentially dipping to the $0.21–$0.206 range. Ovicho mentioned that the $0.188 support level is crucial; holding above it would keep the bullish structure intact and lead to another upside push. At the same time, a breakdown below it would invalidate the near-term bullish outlook. Notably, analyst Stonk Chris has earlier highlighted a bullish rising wedge on the weekly chart, with targets up to $1.10. The pattern, intact since the $0.055 low in late 2023, faces key resistance at $0.27–$0.30, while support sits at $0.18 and $0.13.
