Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading in a tight range around $0.22, balancing whale liquidations with institutional accumulation.
Market Overview
Between 24–25 August, a whale transferred 900 million DOGE (over $200 million) to Binance, briefly pushing prices from $0.25 down to $0.23 support on elevated volumes. Despite this, on-chain data shows whales accumulated 680 million DOGE through August, highlighting a tug-of-war between selling and accumulation. Futures open interest dropped 8%, reflecting lighter speculative positioning, while macro cues like Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks temporarily boosted the meme-coin sector.
