At the time, Dogecoing Whale Transactions spiked from 711 to 3,170 transactions between October 24 to November 1, representing a 445% increase in the Large Investors’ trading activity during that period.

Notably, he 2022 DOGE day celebration had triggeered 100% price bounce from $0.060 to $0.12. If history repeats, DOGE holders can anticipate retest of the $0.1 level in the weeks ahead.
In further confirmation of the bullish outlook, the daily-time frame technical analysis shows that DOGE price is on the verge of breaking above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).
As seen in the chart below, while DOGE price is currently trading at $0.068, the 200-day SMA is currently around $0.069. If the bulls can break above that level, it could catalyze a major price rally toward the $0.10 area.
But on the flipside, if that resistance proves daunting, DOGE price could retraced slightly toward $0.059. However, the bulls can fight back at the $0.062, where there’s a sigificant support buy-wall.
