What followed the selling was an extension of bearish price action for the asset. The mood among the whales appears to have turned around in the past day, however, as the indicator’s value has seen a sharp surge instead. “Whales bought over one billion Dogecoin $DOGE in the last 24 hours!” notes Martinez. Given the timing of the buys, it’s possible that these humongous investors believe the current lows to be offering a profitable entry point into the memecoin. It only remains to be seen, though, whether this bet would pay off for the whales.
