Whale Alert reported a significant transfer of 990 million Dogecoins (DOGE) worth $79.75 million between wallets on January 16, without public profile confirmation of the participants. Such transfers are not uncommon in the Dogecoin ecosystem, as evidenced by a similar transfer of nearly a billion tokens from Binance to another wallet on January 9, which preceded a price increase from $0.076 to $0.085.
Following the peak on-chain transaction volume of $1 billion on January 12, there was a notable drop to $296.74 million, suggesting reduced participation in crypto trading. Analysts also monitor Dogecoin circulation and open interest per exchange, which can indicate market trends.
Circulation measures the number of tokens involved in transactions over a period and can imply lower sell pressure or increased usage. An increase in circulation sometimes precedes a price drop. At the time of writing, the daily circulation had risen to 14.48.
Open interest on exchanges also rose to 111.96 million, and when combined with increased circulation, this could signal a potential price drop for DOGE. The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) indicator supported this potential, with the 4-hour chart showing A/D at 27.14 million, indicating neither significant accumulation nor distribution.
Despite the possibility of a price drop below $0.08, Dogecoin may continue to fluctuate between $0.080 and $0.083. The Bollinger Bands (BB) suggested low volatility with narrow bands. If bulls increase buying pressure, DOGE could break the $0.083 resistance, potentially moving towards $0.09, but this is uncertain in the short term. However, a resurgence in altcoins could lead to an increase in DOGE’s price.
