Between August 24–25, a whale transferred 900 million DOGE (over $200 million) to Binance wallets, raising concerns of a potential sell-off. Prices briefly dipped from $0.25 to test $0.23 support on higher trading volumes.
On-chain data indicates that whales acquired 680 million DOGE throughout August, creating a battle between distribution and accumulation.
Futures activity weakened, with open interest declining by 8% following the transfer, reflecting reduced speculative leverage.
The overall sentiment in the meme-coin market remains linked to macroeconomic signals, with Powell’s comments at Jackson Hole prompting a temporary rally across the sector.
Price Action Summary
From August 27 at 03:00 to August 28 at 02:00, DOGE traded within a narrow $0.01 (3%) range, stabilizing around $0.22.
Peak institutional activity occurred at 20:00 GMT on August 27, when DOGE rose from $0.219 to $0.224 on a volume of 1.26 billion—almost four times the hourly average.
Later in the session (01:20–02:19 GMT on August 28), DOGE climbed from $0.219 lows to $0.224 intraday highs before profit-taking retraced it back to the $0.220–$0.221 range.
Technical Analysis
Support: Strong buying interest around $0.219–$0.220 has formed a new support level.
Resistance: $0.224–$0.225 continues to limit short-term rallies following repeated failed attempts.
Momentum: RSI remains stable in the mid-50s, indicating equilibrium rather than rapid trend acceleration.
Volume: The institutional spike to 1.26 billion tokens at $0.22 suggests accumulation interest, but overall declining activity points to consolidation.
Patterns: The tight trading range indicates a compression phase; a resolution may lead to a directional breakout.
Risk Gauges: An 8% decline in futures open interest suggests lighter positioning—lowering immediate volatility but reducing breakout confidence.
