Dogecoin Whale Dumps 86M DOGE But Technical Traders Say There Is Reason To Be Optimistic

Dogecoin’s DOGE/USD monthly gains have been slashed to 90% amid the market sell-off and a whale offloading 86 million DOGE.

What Happened: Whale Alert data revealed that an unknown wallet address transferring 86 million DOGE, worth $14.1 million, to a Robinhood address, followed by another 4 million DOGE to another unidentified wallet.

The same wallet, known for large transfers, still holds an additional 4 million DOGE.

This transaction has sparked speculation within the crypto community about whether this sell-off reflects broader market movements or is a strategic move by a single trader.

According to Coinglass data, Dogecoin’s open interest dropped by 16.7% to $1.2 billion and its trading volume decreased by 20.3%.

Additionally, liquidations reached their highest point on March 5, currently standing at $10 million.

Why It Matters: Data from BitInfoCharts indicates a consistent increase in the number of Dogecoin holders, underscoring the confidence of large holders in the meme coin.

IntoTheBlock data highlights an increase of 92.8% in large transactions to $5.29 billion.

In contrast, other meme coins like Shiba Inu (-5.4%) experienced drops in this metric. The number of daily active addresses also saw a significant increase of 13.5%, reaching 199,190. Moreover, approximately 86% of DOGE holders are currently in a profit position.

In response to the market drop, a technical crypto trader known as Cryptollica expressed optimism for Dogecoin's future trajectory.
