The giant whale's abnormal movement caused a market earthquake With the sudden transfer of 15.115 million Dogecoins, worth approximately US$2.95 million, this whale account that had been dormant for 11 months suddenly became active. What’s even more disturbing is that the whale also sold 7,473 of its original positions at a price of $1,450. This abnormal operation immediately caused an uproar in the encryption community. ![]() The market's interpretation of the giant whale's behavior is polarized. Some people think this is a bearish signal, indicating that big funds are withdrawing ; Some people also interpret it as a sign of bargain hunting, because the giant whale is also accumulating new positions. But it is undeniable that this level of capital movement is enough to shake the entire Dogecoin market. $0.20 becomes a life-and-death line The current price of Dogecoin is hovering around $0.2087, up 6.35% in 24 hours. But the gains are particularly fragile in the shadow of the whale sell-off. The psychological barrier of $0.20 has become the focus of competition between the long and short parties. Technically, the 50-day EMA is about to cross below the 200-day EMA, forming a classic death cross signal. If this technical pattern is confirmed, it could trigger a deeper pullback. Historical data shows that $0.166 is the lower edge of the long-term trend line and may become the next important support level. ![]() It is worth noting that Dogecoin has staged an epic rally from a similar position, and some veteran traders are betting that history will repeat itself. However, the current market environment is significantly different from that then, especially the high leverage ratio, which has increased market uncertainty. Leverage liquidation exacerbates market turmoil In the past 24 hours, the total amount of liquidated positions in the cryptocurrency market reached US$268 million, of which Dogecoin accounted for 17%. The largest single liquidation order reached an astonishing US$12 million, mainly concentrated on short-term contracts with 5-10 times leverage. This phenomenon of serial liquidation stems from the fatal combination of "emotional fragility + high leverage". After the flash crash, investors are extremely sensitive to negative news, and any disturbance may trigger stampede selling. During the early rebound, a large number of speculators entered the market with leverage through the "leverage + pledge" method, resulting in an extremely fragile capital structure. Market trading volume has dropped by 32% compared with before the flash crash, and investors' risk appetite has significantly reduced. Rumors of regulatory investigations on October 20 triggered the transfer of $2.3 billion in crypto assets from centralized exchanges to offline wallets within two hours, showing that the market trust crisis is deepening. Buy the dip or run for your life? Faced with the dual pressure of whale selling and leveraged liquidation, investors are in a dilemma. On-chain data shows that Whale has sold more than 500 million DOGE in the past seven days, and futures open interest plummeted from US$5.03 billion to US$1.95 billion, a drop of as much as 61%. ![]() But what is interesting is that 24-hour trading volume bucked the trend and increased by 17.5% to nearly US$2 billion. This anomaly suggests that the market, while active, is primarily driven by selling rather than healthy demand growth. The activity of exchanges has shrunk across the board, and it is not uncommon for long positions to be forced to be liquidated. Some analysts believe that current prices may have already reflected the worst expectations, and panic selling often indicates that the bottom is approaching. But more people warned that before market sentiment is completely restored, any bargain-hunting behavior will be like pulling chestnuts from the fire. Platform stability becomes new focus Extreme market conditions have become the "touchstone" of the trading platform. Some centralized platforms have experienced problems such as system lags and stop-loss inefficiencies. Some platform customer service even responded that "the value of altcoins is inherently 0", further exacerbating the trust crisis. In contrast, decentralized exchanges have shown greater stability during this volatility. This contrast has caused more investors to reconsider their asset storage strategies, which may accelerate the transfer of funds from centralized platforms to decentralized platforms. For ordinary investors, the most important thing at the moment is to control risks and avoid making impulsive decisions driven by emotions. There are always opportunities in the market, but only if you can survive until the opportunity comes. ![]() ![]() |
