Why it matters

The substantial sale of 120 million DOGE by large holders could intensify downward pressure on the cryptocurrency, potentially testing crucial support levels and influencing market sentiment.

Key takeaways
  • Large wallets sold 120 million DOGE since Thursday, according to on-chain data.
  • Dogecoin trades near $0.075, facing resistance between $0.079 and $0.090.
  • The next major support level for DOGE is around $0.068.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is experiencing downward pressure as large holders, known as whales, have sold 120 million DOGE since Thursday. This significant sell-off has contributed to the cryptocurrency's struggle to find support, with its price hovering around $0.075 on Monday.

The technical outlook for DOGE shows a challenging path ahead. The next major support level is near $0.068, according to on-chain data. Meanwhile, recovery efforts face resistance in the range of $0.079 to $0.090. This suggests that DOGE could dip lower if it fails to hold the current price level.

In addition to the whale activity, a notable transfer of 120 million USDT to JustLendDAO has caught market attention. This transfer, reported by Coinfomania, adds to the mixed signals in the broader crypto space, indicating potential shifts in market dynamics.

The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.67 trillion.

The sale of 120 million DOGE by whales and the USDT transfer to JustLendDAO highlight the ongoing volatility and activity in the crypto market. Investors will be watching to see if DOGE can hold the $0.068 support level or if further declines are on the horizon.
