Dogecoin price has more than 10% to crash thanks to these whales dumping DOGE

  • Dogecoin price hovered around the $0.0813 support level before shedding nearly 10% along with the markets.
  • This crash has paused as DOGE enters an area of support, extending from $0.0705 to $0.0745. 
  • A daily candlestick close above $0.0813 will invalidate the bearish thesis. 

Dogecoin price has dropped sharply over the last four hours in tandem with the market. The lack of buying pressure combined with the sell-side dynamics forewarns a massive crash for DOGE.

Dogecoin price in a precarious position

Dogecoin price has been hovering between $0.0705 and $0.0946 levels since early November 2022. While there were attempts to overcome this range, they were failures, which pushed DOGE back into consolidation. 

Currently, Dogecoin price bounces off the $0.0745 support structure, and investors can expect a long, boring consolidation to occur from here. Depending on Bitcoin price behavior, a minor bounce attempting to tag $0.0813 could occur, but the journey is likely going to knock DOGE lower.

In particular, Dogecoin price could break down the $0.0745 level and tag the selling climax at $0.0705. If sellers continue to run amok, DOGE could even retest the $0.0645 barrier.

While Bitcoin price selloff pushed the altcoins along, including Dogecoin price, to crash, a closer look reveals an interesting picture. The Supply Distribution chart shows that whales holding 1 million to 10 million DOGE are more in touch with Dogecoin price movements.

Interestingly, these wallets dropped from 3,831 to 3,781 from February 25 to March 2. This sudden drop indicates that these investors offloaded their DOGE holdings and have been doing so since December 2022. 

Therefore, a further selloff in Dogecoin price should not be unimaginable for interested buyers.

On the other hand, if Dogecoin price produces a daily candlestick close below $0.0813, the bearish thesis will be invalidated. Such a development could see DOGE attempt a revisit of the buying climax at $0.0946.

 Top 3 Price Prediction: BTC consolidates gains, ETH defends support, XRP nears breakout trigger

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple begin the week on a constructive note as the top three cryptocurrencies attempt to extend rebounds after recovering nearly 4%, 2% and 2.6%, respectively. BTC steadies around $65,600, ETH continues to hold firmly above the key $1,700 support, while XRP nears the upper boundary of the falling channel pattern.

Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH struggles below $1,700 amid subdued on-chain users and capital outflows

Ethereum rises, albeit gradually, toward $1,700. The smart contract token reflects a marginal increase in buyers seeking to re-engage at lower price levels, following the massive drawdown from mid-May, which was largely driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and macroeconomic uncertainty.

XRP clings to support as derivatives interest cools

Ripple hangs on to $1.14 support, extending its rebound from its early-week support at $1.10 and June’s low of $1.05. Maintaining this short-term support level is vital for the remittance token to preserve its bullish momentum, with a decisive breakout above $1.20 likely to signal further upside potential.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP recovery slows amid incessant capital outflows
The cryptocurrency remains in a broader corrective bias on Friday, despite majors such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) holding slightly higher than early-week support levels. Bitcoin hovers around $63,500 amid a capped upside. Ethereum eyes a breakout past $1,700, while XRP hovers above $1.40.
Experts agree: Bitcoin nears bottom, but weak demand raises doubts
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading above $63,000 at the time of writing on Friday after rebounding from the key 200-week Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $62,000, a level widely viewed as key long-term support. The recovery may suggest that Bitcoin has found a floor after a sharp correction that spanned more than a month, but some warning signs persist.
