The Dogecoin price experienced a significant drop this week,
sliding down more than 20% at times, from a peak of $0.1321 on
Saturday to a low of $0.1026 by Tuesday. Despite this decline,
on-chain metrics and expert analysis suggest a potentially bullish
future for the popular meme coin. Dogecoin Price Remains Bullish
On-chain analytics firm Santiment has provided a detailed breakdown
of Dogecoin’s activity via X today, indicating robust participation
from large-scale holders, known as whales, in the cryptocurrency’s
network. “Dogecoin has retraced -18% from its top back on Saturday.
But on-chain activity indicates that whales may not be done with
all the bullish momentum of crypto’s top meme coin. Though they
took profit just before the top, their activity remains very high
on DOGE’s network,” Santiment reported. The analytics firm also
highlighted a surge in Dogecoin’s network activity, noting that
Dogecoin just hit a 7-month high in address activity and 4-month
high in whale transactions while retail transactions jumped out on
the price dip. Related Reading: Dogecoin Could Target $0.20 Soon,
Analyst Predicts – Is DOGE Primed For A Rally? Over the last three
days, 63,689 DOGE addresses have transferred coins which marks the
largest stretch since April 2-4. Moreover, 1,203 whale transactions
(>$100,000) preceded the local Dogecoin price top on September
28th. This marks the highest whale activity since May 26-28. Crypto
analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the massive activity within the
network via X. Martinez stated: “The Dogecoin network is
experiencing significant growth! Over the past week, there’s been a
72% increase in new DOGE addresses, and just yesterday alone,
19,630 new DOGE addresses were created!” The crypto analyst further
bolsters the bullish sentiment surrounding Dogecoin with a
technical analysis. Martinez points out that DOGE might be nearing
a MACD bullish crossover on the weekly chart, a potential indicator
of upcoming price increases. “The last two times Dogecoin DOGE had
a MACD bullish crossover on the weekly chart, it rallied 90% and
180%, respectively. A new MACD bullish crossover could be forming
soon!” he explained. The MACD, or Moving Average Convergence
Divergence, is a crucial tool in technical analysis. It consists of
two lines: the MACD line, which is the difference between the
26-period and 12-period exponential moving averages (EMAs), and the
signal line, which is the 9-period EMA of the MACD line. A bullish
crossover, where the MACD line crosses above the signal line,
typically signals a shift from a bearish to a bullish market trend,
often interpreted as a buy signal. Related Reading: Humor Or

Another renowned crypto analyst, Luciano, has pointed to a breakout
from a descending channel on the daily chart. He advises his 2.2
million followers on X: “DOGE has had a decent run in recent times
and looks like this will continue. In my opinion dips are for
buying and DOGE will have a spectacular season this cycle. DYOR –
NAFA” At press time, DOGE traded at $0.1087. Featured image created
