DOGE/USDT vs. TOTAL crypto market cap 30-day returns. Source: TradingView Key takeaways: Dogecoin wallets holding at least 100 million DOGE controlled a record 108.52 billion DOGE, worth roughly $11.6 billion, as of late April, compared to under 107.95 billion DOGE in mid-April, according to data resource Santiment. Dogecoin whale transaction count and holdings. Source: Santiment The accumulation coincided with DOGE’s 23.50% price rebound, suggesting large holders helped support the move. DOGE/USDT weekly chart. Source: TradingView Whale activity also spiked. On April 28, Santiment recorded 739 Dogecoin transfers worth more than $100,000 in a single day, the highest count in six months. The surge came alongside the launch of 1Shares’ physically backed Dogecoin ETP on Xetra, Germany’s leading electronic trading platform. From a technical standpoint, the DOGE price has entered the breakout stage of what appears to be a descending triangle pattern. DOGE/USDT weekly chart.

Source: TradingView The structure leaned bearish, but price broke above the descending trendline near $35,0000, triggering a squeeze that led to a rally over $52,000 in the following weeks. Applying the same technical rule to DOGE charts puts its upside target for May at around $0.131, up about 20% from the current price. The level aligns with DOGE's 200-week simple moving average (200-week SMA, the blue line). DOGE/USDT weekly chart.

It would also clear DOGE’s aggregate cost basis (black) around $0.132. Historically, reclaiming these cost-basis levels has preceded extended bullish phases, as more holders return to profit and selling pressure eases. DOGE realized price by wallet size.

Such a pullback could put DOGE at risk of revisiting its local low near $0.088 in May.
