Dogecoin (DOGE) whales accumulate over 100 million coins, setting the stage for a potential price rally.

Recent on-chain data indicates significant whale activity in Dogecoin, with over 100 million DOGE accumulated by key players. This has coincided with a price increase from $0.145 to $0.176 within April's final weeks.

Large cryptocurrency wallets, commonly referred to as whales, have been actively accumulating Dogecoin (DOGE) in recent weeks, suggesting a potential bullish outlook for the meme coin.

This activity has been particularly pronounced in wallets holding 1 million to 10 million DOGE, which together integrated about 100 million DOGE last week as they bet that the recovery would gain steam, crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted in his latest analysis.

Indeed, charting data shared by the analyst shows that the coin faced strong resistance at $0.15, which was overcome by buyers to open the door for a continuation of the rally toward the next resistance at $0.18.

"This shift in strategy by major players may herald a new phase in the market, especially considering the lower market chatter during this accumulation period," Martinez noted.

The increased holdings by these wallets, which started around April 10, denote a shift in major players' strategy as they went from liquidating their DOGE holdings to accumulating more.

At current prices, the newly acquired DOGE is worth about $17.5 million, showcasing the scale of this activity by the whales.

"The actions of large wallets and their role in driving market trends have been a subject of fascination and study in the cryptocurrency domain," the analyst added.

While there are varying opinions and theories on the impact of whale activity, it is undeniable that these entities can exert significant influence on market prices, especially in cryptocurrencies, which are known for their high volatility.

"Historically, whale activity in Dogecoin has been a precursor to significant price rallies," the analyst explained.

The recent patterns of accumulation and the potential bullish outlook expressed by experienced investors may also have implications for future technological developments in cryptocurrency markets.

As interest in Dogecoin soars and whale activity continues to be a hot topic, it remains to be seen how these trends will ultimately play out in the weeks and months to come.
