Dogecoin Gains On Whale Activity, Traders Eye Breakout Zone

Dogecoin DOGE/USD is trading at $0.2249, a 0.49% increase from the previous day’s close of $0.2237. The cryptocurrency’s price has fluctuated between an intraday low of $0.2177 and a high of $0.2274. The move follows headlines about a high-profile crypto whale pocketing $25 million from a PepeCoin PEPE/USD trade, and analyst predictions that Dogecoin price is about to shift gears.

Some of those profits could rotate into Dogecoin and similar meme assets. These trades tend to influence sentiment sharply, especially when large holders act in tandem with rising derivatives interest.

Don't Miss:

According to CryptoRank, open interest in Dogecoin perpetual futures stands near $1.3 billion, signaling elevated trader engagement. CoinDesk notes that wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion DOGE have expanded their positions significantly, controlling 26.5 billion tokens compared to 22.8 billion in January. A steady accumulation underlines conviction among top holders, even amid broader market swings.

Dogecoin has retested and stabilized around its 200-day EMA at $0.21 multiple times this week. The level has acted as a reliable support zone, and the latest bounce hints at a shift in momentum. Bulls may be gaining the upper hand if the price can hold above it.

Bitcoin BTC/USD is hovering near $107,924, and Ethereum ETH/USD has climbed over 3%, breaking past the $2,728 mark. The movements in major cryptocurrencies often influence the performance of altcoins like Dogecoin.

DOGE repeatedly found buyers in the $0.22–$0.23 range. It slid from about $0.238 to support near $0.227 before bouncing, while resistance held at $0.236. DOGE’s chart forms a “bearish channel” with an upper bound near 23.6 cents. Traders will watch closely for a decisive move above the mid-20 cents level.

If Dogecoin can clear the $0.23–$0.24 area on sustained volume, it could re-ignite the broader rally. A break below the $0.22 support base would likely invite further consolidation or selling. A bullish pattern is forming, hinting that DOGE could be gearing up for a meaningful move soon.

DOGE/XRP pair is showing similar bullish signals, backed by solid support and rising volume. If the trends hold, DOGE could be aiming as high as $0.65, a big leap from where it sits now. It’s crucial to keep an eye on the broader market since Dogecoin’s next moves will depend on how the overall crypto landscape unfolds.

With whale demand still strong, and retail sentiment tied to headlines, analysts caution that Dogecoin’s next moves will be closely tied to whether these pivot levels hold. A clear break of the levels in either direction could define the market’s next directional bias.
