Crypto Analyst Ali Martinez Predicts Dogecoin Price Surge
On social media platform X, crypto trader and analyst Ali Martinez, known as Ali Charts, has forecast substantial price growth for the memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE). Martinez believes DOGE could potentially gain 200%, mirroring its performance in February. This optimistic outlook stems from the current bearish market sentiment surrounding the memecoin.
Dogecoin Accumulation by Whales
Following Bitcoin's rise in early March, DOGE surged to $0.18. This occurred shortly after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Martinez emphasizes that large Dogecoin investors ("whales") have been acquiring significant amounts of DOGE, primarily through purchases, fueling expectations.
In a recent tweet, Martinez highlighted that Dogecoin whales accumulated over 700 million DOGE worth approximately $112 million in the past three days, indicating growing confidence and potential for a price upswing.
Significant Dogecoin Transfers
Whale Alert, a platform tracking large blockchain transactions, reported substantial Dogecoin transfers, with approximately 1.5 billion DOGE exchanged anonymously in the last two days.
Major transfers detected by Whale Alert include the movement of 420.69 million DOGE, 970 million DOGE, and 499.42 million DOGE between anonymous wallets. Additionally, 90 million DOGE were transferred from cryptocurrency exchange Robinhood to an anonymous wallet address. The total value of these transactions exceeds $251.41 million, involving 1.579 billion DOGE.
Price Outlook
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.15887, having experienced a 4.25% overnight decline followed by a 2.89% recovery. The significant whale activity and Martinez's analysis suggest that another substantial price increase for DOGE may be imminent.
