On-chain data shows the Dogecoin whale supply has noted an uptick recently, a sign that big-money accumulation interest in the memecoin has gone up.
Dogecoin Whales Have Bought 160 Million DOGE In Just 96 HoursThanks to their large holdings, this cohort can carry some degree of influence in the market. As such, its behavior can often be worth keeping an eye on. Even if it may not directly impact the asset’s price, it can still contain hints about the sentiment among these humongous entities.
Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the recent trend in the supply of the Dogecoin whales:
As displayed in the above graph, the Dogecoin whale supply has observed a jump recently. In total, the whales loaded up on 160 million DOGE (worth about $17.7 million) inside a 96-hour window during this accumulation spree.
The buying from the whales has interestingly come after a significant price surge. While the amount involved hasn’t been too large, the fact that the group’s supply has trended up on the net can still naturally be a positive sign for the memecoin as it means that these large investors haven’t taken to profit-taking yet.
Though, the indicator could still be to monitor for shifts in whale behavior in the coming days as it doesn’t tend to take much for Dogecoin market sentiment to flip.
Parallel Channels can be classified into a few different types based on the orientation of the channel with respect to the graph axes, but in the context of the current discussion, the simplest Parallel Channel is of interest: one with trendlines parallel to the time-axis.
From the chart, it’s visible that the 12-hour price of Dogecoin may have been following such a pattern during the last couple of months. Earlier, the memecoin had been stuck in the lower half of the channel, with the midline at $0.1018 proving to be a resistance barrier. The recent price surge has meant, however, that the asset has broken out into the upper half.
The analyst has noted that the next target for DOGE could be $0.1172, corresponding to the top level of the channel.
