Dogecoin Whales Accumulate Amid Price Crash, Analyst Reveals Catalyst That Could Drive DOGE To $0.5

Crypto analyst Lumen has revealed a significant accumulation trend among Dogecoin whales, which provides a bullish outlook for the DOGE price. The analyst also mentioned what could drive the meme coin’s price to $0.5, marking a bullish reversal for Dogecoin. 

Dogecoin Whales Accumulate As Price Eyes Rally To $0.5

In an X post, Lumen revealed that Dogecoin whales accumulated 1.7 billion DOGE ($298 million) in 72 hours, which he noted signals bullish sentiment ahead of a potential Dogecoin ETF approval. These whales’ accumulation has come amid a massive price crash for Dogecoin, which has dropped 20% in a week, falling from around $0.22 to as low as $0.16. 

Lumen then went on to give a price projection for the foremost meme coin. He stated that if DOGE reclaims $0.2 before the ETFs approval, there is a possibility that Dogecoin could rally to $0.5 because of the liquidity of ETFs. He added that the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, could also resume bull posting about DOGE as he had done before. 

It is worth mentioning that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently postponed the approval process for Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF, suggesting that the pending DOGE ETF applications are unlikely to be approved anytime soon. However, despite this development, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has predicted that DOGE could soon rebound. 

The analyst stated that investor sentiment around Dogecoin is at its most negative in over a year. Martinez added that historically, extreme fear has set the stage for major reversals. In line with this, he remarked that this could be a prime opportunity to be a contrarian. 

Current State For DOGE

Crypto analyst Kevin Capital provided insights into Dogecoin’s current price action. He stated that DOGE has had a back test of the macro 0.5 Fibonacci level. It has also back-tested macro trend lines, including the 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Meanwhile, the meme coin’s 3-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at historical lows. 

The analyst stated that if the Bitcoin price holds up and macroeconomic data and monetary policy adjust, then this might be the last opportunity to buy DOGE relatively cheaply. He added that a lot of factors are at play and there is a lot of work to do but the risk reward at this level is “superb” given the circumstances. 

Crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade also provided a bullish outlook for Dogecoin. He stated that DOGE is forming a 5-wave Ascending Broadening Wedge and is approaching a breakout on the 4-hour chart. The analyst added that after a confirmed RSI bullish divergence, DOGE bounced back to the descending line of the wedge, indicating that a reversal may be imminent. 

At the time of writing, the DOGE price is trading at around $0.16, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
