Dogecoin Faces Major Obstacle: Whales Trigger Selling Frenzy

The Dogecoin (DOGE) price

looks at risk of further declines as on-chain data show that the meme coin’s largest holders are securing profits. This follows DOGE’s recent price surge, which saw the crypto token rise to a new three-year high of $0.22.

Dogecoin Witnesses Wave Of Profit-Taking

Data from the market intelligence platform Santiment shows a drop in the number of Dogecoin holders holding between 10 million and 100 million DOGE tokens. This suggests that some holders have offloaded their tokens to secure profits from DOGE’s recent price gains.

The Whales Will Soon Return

Dogecoin whales are expected to return and position themselves again once this wave of profit-taking by them is done. Besides taking profits, these whales also see this period as an opportunity to invest in DOGE at the market bottom and in anticipation of future price gains.
