Dogecoin trades below $0.090 as whales offload 420 million DOGE in a week

The recent moves in Dogecoin’s price have once again drawn the spotlight back onto the popular meme-based cryptocurrency. Following a modest recovery within the last 24 hours, DOGE is changing hands at approximately $0.08397. Despite this short-term uptick, overall technical indicators remain weak. Current market assessments suggest Dogecoin is more focused on holding its ground than staging a decisive move upwards.

Short-term resistance remains

One of the most notable short-term technical warnings centers around the $0.088 to $0.090 range. According to posted charts, DOGE attempted to reclaim this horizontal band as support but was rejected, indicating that this zone has now flipped into short-term resistance. As long as the price remains below this area, the short-term outlook appears pressured.

Currently, DOGE is sitting just above the support region of $0.082 to $0.080, after being pushed back from the resistance band. If it fails to hold above $0.090, near-term pressure is expected to persist. Should $0.080 give way, the next significant supports are at $0.075 and then the broader $0.060 to $0.055 range.

Major wallet activity under close watch

Data shared by Ali Charts shows that large investors have distributed 420 million DOGE over the past week. In crypto parlance, addresses with sizeable holdings are often referred to as whales, and shifts in their positions are closely tracked, particularly for their impact on short-term price expectations.

Glossary: The term “whale” is used for wallets or investors that hold large amounts of a crypto asset. The buy or sell actions of these addresses can have a noticeable effect on price, especially during periods of thin liquidity.

Such large-scale distribution does not suggest the formation of a strong bottom. While not automatically a sign of a sharp drop, it does undermine near-term optimism. Ongoing selling by major investors, combined with DOGE’s struggle below resistance, makes any recovery attempts less convincing.

Long-term cycle and bottom formation

Longer-term charts present a more balanced picture. According to a cycle chart shared by KrissPax, Dogecoin could currently be moving through the lower section of a wider 3.5-year market cycle. If this outlook holds, the next major cycle high may not arrive until spring 2028.

Other analyses also continue to point to the possibility of a retest of the 2022 lows, which correspond to the $0.060 to $0.055 range. If DOGE falls beneath $0.080 and fails to stabilize around $0.075, this region could become the main area where buyers return to the market.

Upside thresholds and potential scenarios

More optimistic long-term projections exist as well. Analyst Javon Marks, examining historical price cycles, highlighted the potential for DOGE to reach $2.80 or higher, but only as part of a major future market cycle—not an immediate target. This scenario would only come into focus once a broader cycle is completed.

For technical momentum to recover in the short term, DOGE must first reclaim the $0.088 to $0.090 range. The next crucial threshold sits at $0.10. A break above this level could signal more pronounced recovery, setting the $0.112 to $0.115 band as the next resistance where structure would look notably improved.
