Large whale transactions on the Dogecoin network are not new. On January 3, DogeWhaleAlert revealed that several whales transferred up to 90.3 million Dogecoin (over $15.5 million) to an anonymous wallet.
On December 16, the Dogecoin network also reported large whale transactions after Elon Musk announced that Tesla would accept Dogecoin payments for merch.
Robinhood is one of the top platforms for Dogecoin holders as it holds more than 30% of all DOGE coins. On November 22, Christine Brown, Chief Operating Officer at Robinhood Crypto, revealed that the company is currently working on a Dogecoin wallet.
Over a million users have signed up for Robinhood’s Dogecoin wallet, but there is no set date for its launch.
Despite the recent whale movement, DOGE is currently underperforming. DOGE is trading below its 50-day moving average price of $0.1906.
The cryptocurrency’s MACD line has been below the neutral zone since November, showing an extended bearish performance. Furthermore, the RSI of 39 shows that DOGE could soon enter the oversold territory.
