Dogecoin Whales on the Move: Is DOGE Poised for a Fresh Rally?

by

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I have witnessed countless trends and fluctuations. The recent surge in Dogecoin (DOGE) has piqued my interest, given its substantial growth in the past 24 hours. Whales buying over 1 billion DOGE tokens is a clear indication of confidence in the asset, potentially setting the stage for further price increases.

The name of Elon Musk’s new division, the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), adds fuel to the fire. As a long-time observer of the cryptocurrency world and an admirer of Mr. Musk’s business acumen, I can’t help but wonder if 2025 will indeed become the Year of DOGE.

Now, let me add a dash of humor to this analysis. If Dogecoin does manage to hit a new all-time high, maybe we should start calling it “DogeCoin to the Moon, Part Deux.” After all, who wouldn’t love a sequel to such an exciting ride?

TL;DR

  • DOGE surged substantially as whales bought over 1 billion tokens in the last 24 hours.
  • Elon Musk’s upcoming role in leading the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) has bolstered excitement among Dogecoin proponents.

New ATH Incoming?

The coin with the largest market capitalization in the meme category has seen a robust 30% price surge over the past fortnight. At present, it is valued at around $0.36 according to CoinGecko’s data, marking a 6% increase on a daily basis.

Based on a significant recent update, it’s possible that Dogecoin’s value could surge further in the near future. Notably, analyst Ali Martinez disclosed on X that major Dogecoin holders, or whales, have bought over 1.08 billion tokens (worth approximately $350 million at current rates) within the last day. A few days back, large investors also snapped up an additional 300 million DOGE.

A buying frenzy from whale investors decreases the supply of DOGE circulating in the market. If demand remains consistent or rises, this could trigger a rise in prices. Furthermore, such activity typically indicates faith in the asset, prompting smaller retail investors to invest as well, which can intensify price growth. This pattern may also foster a sense of “FOMO” (fear of missing out), further boosting demand.

Some market analysts who predict that DOGE could potentially reach a new record high are Trader Tardigrade and Professor Astrones. The former believes that the meme coin’s value has bottomed out in its local area, making it ready for an upward surge towards a new maximum. Meanwhile, Professor Astrones, with nearly 200,000 followers on X, suggested they should keep track of DOGE’s price movements and be reminded when it surpasses the $1 mark.

2025 to Become DOGE’s Year?

It’s possible that some people think the upcoming year could bring great success for the original meme coin. This is because Donald Trump is about to become the 47th President of America in just under three weeks, while Elon Musk will head a new division called the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). The aim of this department is to streamline bureaucracy, minimize excessive regulations, and curb wasteful government spending within the United States.

Enthusiasm for Elon Musk’s political activities and his upcoming division is sky-high among DOGE supporters, as he is a fervent supporter of the meme currency. In fact, Tesla’s CEO frequently extols its virtues and advocates for it on various platforms.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that his electric vehicle company adopted Dogecoin as a payment method on its site last May. It remains to be seen if any of his ventures will implement additional Dogecoin projects within the upcoming year.
