DOGE Whale’s $145 Million Bet on Dogecoin, What’s Next?

Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular and world’s largest meme coin by market cap, has broken out of its two-week-long consolidation streak below a crucial support level. This breakout and bullish sentiment emerged ahead of the inauguration of former United States President Donald Trump, scheduled for January 20, 2024.

Whale Buys 400 Million DOGE

Amid this breakout, blockchain-based transaction tracker Whale Alert posted on X (formerly Twitter) that a crypto whale transferred a significant 400 million DOGE, worth $144.97 million, from Binance to an unknown wallet. This substantial withdrawal was made by the whale as the meme coin broke out of its consolidation zone.

Besides this recent purchase by the whale, today’s price surge suggests that investors may be dumping their holdings, potentially for profit booking, as revealed by the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass. Data from spot inflow/outflow indicates that exchanges have witnessed a significant $35.35 million worth of DOGE outflows in the past 24 hours.

This is the first significant inflow exchanges have witnessed since December 11, 2024, a period during which investors and long-term holders appear to have accumulated DOGE during the market dip.
