Dogecoin [DOGE]: Whale Accumulation Sparks 46% Surge – What’s Next?

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin [DOGE] experienced a significant price surge, gaining 46% from Thursday, May 8th, to Saturday, May 10th. This impulsive breakout saw DOGE breach a two-month range, igniting bullish sentiment among investors. However, the 11 hours preceding press time revealed a 7% retracement from the recent high of $0.25, with DOGE trading at $0.233.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted whale activity as a key driver behind the recent price action. According to Martinez, whales accumulated 600 million DOGE, valued at nearly $140 million at press time. The influx of demand during the breakout signaled further gains could be imminent, although a short-term retracement remained likely.

The two-month range spanned from $0.142 to $0.195, with the mid-range level of $0.169 serving as support for nearly two weeks before the breakout. Notably, DOGE surpassed the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, derived from the November 2024 rally. This breakout restored investor confidence as Dogecoin nearly retraced its entire 2024 rally before surging again.

Technical indicators also reflect a mix of bullish and bearish signals. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was at +0.18 at press time, suggesting notable capital inflows into the market. Meanwhile, the Money Flow Index (MFI) formed a bearish divergence over the past two days, signaling a potential pullback. The MFI has since reset to neutral levels, indicating that DOGE may not dip below $0.222.

Key Fibonacci retracement levels at $0.214 and $0.204 could serve as potential retest zones in the coming days. Meanwhile, the $0.225-$0.216 region, identified as a liquidity cluster, aligns with the technical support levels outlined earlier.

The liquidation heatmap from the past week further underscores the impact of short liquidations on the upward momentum. The $0.238 and $0.225 levels remain notable magnetic zones, as DOGE continues to navigate a volatile market landscape.
