Dogecoin has spent the past few days rebounding after a downturn to the mid-$0.13s, and its on-chain activity is beginning to tell an interesting bullish story. Data from Santiment shows a quiet accumulation trend of hundreds of millions of DOGE tokens taking place among some of the asset’s larger holders, even as the price continues to struggle for momentum. 

This change in wallet behavior is unfolding at a time when Dogecoin’s recent performance offers very little excitement for bullish traders, making the quiet accumulation all the more notable.

Dogecoin Whales Accumulation: What the Numbers Show

The data from Santiment highlights a quick climb in holdings among Dogecoin addresses holding between 1 million DOGE to 100 million DOGE tokens. Particularly, the data shows that the collective holding of this cohort has grown from 27.79 billion on December 3 to 28.34 billion DOGE at the time of writing. That equates to an increase of about 550 million DOGE in roughly 48 hours, a meaningful inflow even for a large-cap crypto like Dogecoin.

This trend shows that these mid-size and large holders view current prices as favorable entry points. Broad accumulation by this “whale tier” often precedes consolidation phases or, in some cases, precedes upward moves, especially if retail sentiment is weak and fewer coins are being sold into the market.

Interestingly, this accumulation, which kicked off after Dogecoin fell to the mid-$0.13 range on December 3, contributed to a rebound at this level that contributed to the meme coin reaching an intraday high of $0.1504 in the past 24 hours. 

Is A Surge Coming For Dogecoin?

Accumulation by larger wallets can reshape market conditions in subtle but meaningful ways. First, it reduces the circulating supply available to typical retail traders, which can tighten availability and potentially support price stability or upward pressure. Second, it reflects conviction. Large holders are showing confidence in DOGE’s long-term value, even when price action is not yet bullish. 

Furthermore, this recent buying represents the first clear shift in sentiment among whale cohor

s after weeks of steady distribution. Santiment’s data shows that these wallets had been decreasing their balances since mid-October, and the trend coincided with a drop in large transactions that pushed activity to a two-month low.

While accumulation may set the stage for a rally, there are still structural challenges that Dogecoin must face. Technical analysis suggests that $0.138 is a critical level for confirming whether a firm bottom has formed. Sustained trading above that zone in the coming weeks would strengthen the case that the worst of the downturn is over.

At the same time, crypto analyst Bitcoinsensus outlined a possible upside target in the $0.70 to $0.75 region as the peak of the current cycle. This price target aligns with other technical projections for the meme coin.

As Thursday drew to a close, the entire cryptocurrency market flipped sharply bearish again, causing Dogecoin’s price to fall below the $0.15 mark. Despite the persistent struggle to produce another major rally, traders’ sentiment seems to be turning bullish, leaning towards accumulation, as indicated by a key on-chain metric.

Dogecoin Moving Into Accumulation Mode

A fresh reading indicates that the Dogecoin market is currently at a pivotal juncture that could shape its next trajectory and price dynamics. Sina Estavi, a builder and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bridge AI, reported that on-chain data is pointing to a decisive shift in the current market trend of DOGE.

Estavi’s research is based on the key Dogecoin Bubble Risk Model, a metric that determines when the price of an asset is significantly overvalued relative to its fundamental value. After examining this crucial metric, the builder has found a shocking trend that suggests the meme coin is experiencing a positive market phase.

According to the expert, the data from the metric is quite clear, showing that DOGE is currently not in a bubble phase. It is worth noting that the bubble-risk indicator only flashes red when speculative excess rises to extreme levels. Meanwhile, recent data is showing that the signal is muted in comparison to previous market cycles. 

This development opposes the tales of fear that frequently emerge with significant price fluctuations. Rather, the signal suggests that the market is acting in a surprisingly stable manner, bolstered by consistent accumulation, strong holder belief, and robust network activity.

Estavi highlighted that from a structural standpoint, Dogecoin is shifting into an accumulation territory, not a blow-off top. In the meantime, this measure is unfolding as a subtle but potent indicator that the asset’s base is still far stronger than critics believe.

Active Addresses Showing Up At A Substantial Rate

The gradual shift into accumulation territory is evidenced by the massive wave of active wallet addresses on the Dogecoin network. Despite the ongoing volatility in the market and pullback in DOGE’s price, new investors appear to be reappearing at a substantial rate.

Ali Martinez, a market expert and trader, shared this development, which points to renewed demand and confidence in the leading meme coin. Data from Martinez shows that Dogecoin recorded over 71,589 active addresses on the network as of Thursday.

As seen on the chart, the figure marks the highest spike in the metric since September 2025. This rapid expansion suggests that genuine momentum is developing beneath DOGE’s current market trend, possibly foreshadowing a significant shift in market behavior and future price direction.

At the same time, heightened accumulation has also been ongoing within the whale cohort. In another X post, Martinez noted that whale investors have gone on a buying spree, scooping up millions of DOGE in the last 2 days. Within the time frame, the cohort acquired over 480 million DOGE, valued at approximately $71.2 million at current prices.

Despite the bearish trend that has dominated the crypto market, the meme coin PIPPIN has stood out, flying green while others stalled. Over the weekend, the meme coin emerged as one of the top gainers, rising by more than 50% and doubling its value in only a few days. Interestingly, one crypto analyst had previously called out the PIPPIN rally, predicting that the price would rise. But even with the major rally so far, the analyst’s total prediction is yet to play out completely.

The Breakout That Started It All

In the analysis, Edoardo Telve points to the first breakout that began all of this for the PIPPIN price. This had come after the meme coin had suffered an extended accumulation range, which began back in March, lasting for seven months in total. This allowed the meme coin to form a structural bottom that allows for the kind of expansion that it has seen so far.

Once the breakout began, the PIPPIN price began to destroy resistance after resistance, leading to what the analyst calls “ the cleanest, strongest bullish shift the chart has shown all year.” As a result, all of the resistances that had prevented true breakouts in the past have been promptly covered.

Amid this, there have been a number of areas of interest that have emerged, and the price staying above them suggests that the bullish trend continues to hold. The analyst refers to these levels as the 4EMA cluster, ranging between $0.02, $0.03, and $0.05. As long as the price remains above these levels, it means that the PIPPIN will maintain its strong upward momentum.

Where Is The PIPPIN Price Headed?

So far, the PIPPIN price has expanded rapidly, rising over 400% in the last week. The Sunday rally saw it touch above $0.19, stopping just short of $0.2. Despite this impressive rally, the analyst says the best may be yet to come.

Telve points to factors such as the rising volume, strong impulsive candles, and lack of sharp rejection wicks as indications that the current rally is being driven by buyers as opposed to this being a liquidity grab. The PIPPIN price has also put in higher lows and maintained support above key resistance levels, as well as holding above the 4EMA stack pointed out by the analyst.

As the meme coin continues to maintain the current expansion phase, the analyst believes that $0.3-$0.32 remains the final target. Interestingly, this level is historically a large supply zone, suggesting that this is where the sell-offs might begin in full bloom.
