Whales are buying the DOGE dip

On-chain data shows that whales have continued to accumulate Dogecoin amid the price crash.

The price of Dogecoin has collapsed this year, mirroring the performance of other cryptocurrencies. DOGE plunged to a low of $0.1655, which is lower than the highest level in December by over 65%.

Will the coin bounce back as signs show that whales are accumulating it?

Whales are buying the DOGE dip

On-chain data shows that whales have continued to accumulate Dogecoin amid the price crash. According to Santiment, these sophisticated investors bought over 110 million DOGE coins in the last seven days. These tokens had a value of over $17 million.

There are potentially three reasons why these whales are buying the dip. First, Polymarket data shows that the odds that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve a spot DOGE ETF have risen sharply.

Fundamentally, there is no reason why the agency should reject a DOGE ETF. While Dogecoin is classified as a meme coin, it does not significantly differ from Bitcoin. They both have a limited supply and don’t have any staking features. A DOGE ETF may lead to more demand.

Second, Dogecoin is the biggest and oldest meme coin in the industry. As such, it may benefit many investors to move from other newer meme coins like Pudgy Penguins, Fartcoin, and Official Trump, which soared initially and then crashed as insiders sold.

Third, analysts remain highly optimistic about the DOGE price. One analyst on Twitter predicted that the coin would soon jump to $1 after the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) moved to the oversold level.

Macroeconomic factors also support a positive outlook for the DOGE price. Most analysts believe that the US economy is on the verge of entering a recession or major slowdown. A slowing economy serves as a bullish catalyst for Dogecoin prices, as the Federal Reserve is likely to intervene by cutting interest rates.

Dogecoin price technical analysis

DOGE whales are buying the dip for technical reasons. The Z score of the MVRV indicator has reached a multi-month low, indicating that the coin is currently undervalued.

The daily chart shows that the Dogecoin price has formed a falling wedge pattern. This is a popular bullish reversal pattern made up of two converging trendlines that slope downward. These two lines are now nearing the convergence point, where breakouts happen.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD indicators have all pointed upwards, indicating the formation of a bullish divergence pattern. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the Dogecoin price will bounce back and possibly retest its November high at $0.4840, up by almost 200% from the current level.
