According to on-chain data from crypto analytics platform Santiment, wallets holding between 10,000,000 and 100,000,000 DOGE have sold offroughly 440 million tokens within 72 hours.

Notably, on Thursday, October 29, these wallets accounted for approximately 15.51% of the total DOGE supply, but that figure dropped to 15.31% the following day. Moreover, it declined again on October 31 to 15.17%, and now stands at a low of 15.15%, at the time of writing. As whales abruptly reduced their exposure, the market also responded quickly.

As selling pressure increases for Dogecoin, Santiment’s data further reveals that whale transaction counts for holders managing DOGE worth $100,000 and above spiked to 119 transactions on October 30, before plunging to 15 at the time of writing. This sharp decline suggests a rapid transition from distribution to dormancy among short-term high-volume traders. 

Interestingly, there have been signs of a redistribution, indicating that not all large holders are exiting the market. Santiment reports that whales with holdings exceeding 100,000,000 DOGE have increased their balances from 19.28% to 19.46% over the same period, implying accumulation from even larger players. Meanwhile, investors with holdings between 100,000 and 10,000,000 DOGE have maintained a steady position, signaling a neutral stance amid market uncertainty.     Analysts Eye $0.33 And Beyond As Technical Patterns Align
