A massive sell-off by Dogecoin whales has sent shockwaves through the crypto market, sparking concerns about the future trajectory of DOGE price. According to data from Santiment, a prominent market analytics platform, large investors have dumped 1.32 billion Dogecoin in the last 48 hours.

Market analyst Ali Martinez highlighted this alarming trend, citing Santiment data, and warned that waning risk appetite among investors could further drag prices lower in the coming days. The sell-off by the Dogecoin whales is seen as a reflection of the broader market’s volatile scenario, with investors seemingly losing confidence in the cryptocurrency’s growth prospects.

This significant dump has weighed heavily on the price of DOGE, which plummeted by approximately 4% in recent trading sessions. However, a recent DOGE price prediction showed that the crypto is currently at a neutral position and might hover around its current level through this month.

Meanwhile, Ali Martinez has also identified a crucial support level for the DOGE price that investors should keep a close eye on. According to Martinez, the leading meme coin has consistently respected a rising trendline since October 2023, which now converges with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $0.13. This convergence of technical indicators makes $0.13 a key price level to watch, as it could potentially determine the short-term trajectory of DOGE.

Martinez’s observation highlights the significance of this support level, which could act as a strong support for future price movements. A breach of this level could signal a further decline while maintaining above it could trigger renewed confidence in the traders.
