Dogecoin has experienced a significant decline of 20% in the past week, with the crypto market facing heavy losses due to massive selling of prominent currencies like Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH].
The contagion has also affected Dogecoin [DOGE], the world's largest memecoin. Data from Coinstats indicates a drop of over 10% in the past 24 hours, bringing weekly losses to 20% and monthly losses to more than 38%.

Whales Step In
Amidst falling prices, whales have become more active. Bitcoinworld's analysis of Santiment's data reveals an increase in large transactions exceeding $100,000 over the past two days.
Additionally, addresses holding between 1,000 and 1 million coins have been observed rising. These metrics suggest that wealthy investors are taking advantage of the dip to purchase DOGE.
The bullish interest is further reflected in the long exposure of whales. According to Bitcoinworld's analysis of Hyblock Capital data, the percentage of whale positions longing DOGE has increased from 72.9% to 74.85% in the past 24 hours.
Persistent Negative Sentiment
DOGE's social activity has also increased in the past 24 hours, with a rise in mentions on top crypto-focused channels. However, most commentary remains pessimistic, as the Weighted Sentiment trend indicates negative sentiment.
