The price of meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin ($DOGE) has increased significantly during the last week by more than 10%. The increase in activity is ascribed to the increased interest signaled by whales, or huge investors. IntoTheBlock, a blockchain analytics startup, revealed that DOGE whale transactions—transactions worth more than $100,000—nearly doubled in value in a single day due to conjecture about the potential authorization of spot Ether exchange-traded funds. During this time, the amount of DOGE transported by these whales increased dramatically as well, from 9.74 billion to 17.97 billion.
A long-inactive Dogecoin whale holding 893,303 DOGE (about $145,101) made their first move in a decade in a similar development. The whale kept 869,964 DOGE, which are worth more than $140,000, but transferred 23,338 DOGE, or almost $4,000. This amount was transferred to Binance, the top cryptocurrency exchange. Given that major market movements are frequently accompanied by the reactivation of early investors, this transaction has sparked concerns about possible price volatility. The shift to Binance might imply more selling in the future, which would fuel conjecture regarding DOGE’s price fluctuations.
The possibility of a 23,000% increase in DOGE’s price is suggested by a chart pattern that cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noticed, which heightens the enthusiasm. On the weekly chart of Dogecoin, Martinez noticed a descending triangle—a pattern that has previously produced a staggering 23,200% increase. This has increased conjecture over whether Dogecoin could achieve a similarly dramatic rise.
