Even with recent market corrections and geopolitical tensions, Dogecoin (DOGE) keeps seeing an uptick in both whales and retail investor activity. Data by reveals that whale transactions have hit new highs since June.
Before the price peak of September 28, those major investors had controlled some 1,203 transactions worth more than $10 million. Such activity suggests that despite the macro market’s , significant stakeholders within the Dogecoin ecosystem are optimistic.
A clear rise in active addresses on the Dogecoin network is another important indication supporting this positivism. Some 63,689 DOGE addresses have changed tokens during the past three days; this is the biggest figure seen since six months ago.
🐶 Dogecoin has retraced -18% from its top back on Saturday. But on-chain activity indicates that whales may not be done with all the bullish momentum of crypto’s top meme coin. Though they took profit just before the top, their activity remains very high on DOGE’s network.

This level of activity is similar to what occurred in the early days of April. Ali Martinez, an expert, further confirmed the boom, saying active addresses have ballooned to 84,306-strong influx of retail interest into the meme coin. Such interest positively augurs well for the future of Dogecoin, especially when related to the latest number of wallet addresses being created.
Growing Adoption Fuels Possible Rally
This on-chain activity rise is not a small blip on the radar. Martinez has found a very promising indicator on the Dogecoin weekly chart; a price rally will most likely be caused. He drew attention to a bullish MACD crossover which will probably lead to a 180% increase in the price of DOGE.
Both of the previous two occasions when this metric flipped back into bull territory, Dogecoin provided an astronomical increase of 85% in October 2023 and a whopping 175% gain in February 2024. If history is any guide, this could mean good things are on the horizon for Dogecoin.

It’s worthy to note that the overall market sentiment for Dogecoin is bearish, based on the latest price predictions by . Based on their analysis, DOGE may drop by 13% and hit around $0.091695 by November 2, 2024.
A reading of 37 from the Fear & Greed Index still places the traders’ sentiment on the worry side. Dogecoin has in the last 30 days been able to experience 16 green days, accounting for only 53% of the time, with an average price volatility standing at 8.15%. This volatility paints sensitivity by Dogecoin towards market fluctuations.

Given the mixed signals, traders and investors are advised to tread carefully. Although the increase in whale activity and retail interaction points to an underlying demand for Dogecoin, one cannot overlook the negative sentiment and possible price drop.
The present volatility of the market could be risky for new investors wishing to engage right now. Whether Dogecoin can stabilize or if it will keep trending down in the next weeks will depend mostly on a concentration on important support levels.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
