Dogecoin’s recent price action has taken an unexpected turn as on-chain data shows whale transactions collapsing to levels not seen in two months. This lack of activity from whale addresses has seen the meme coin falling to an important support area, and it raises the question about whether big players are stepping back from the meme coin. Dogecoin Whale Activity Falls To Its Lowest Level In 60 Days Data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment reveals that large transactions on the Dogecoin blockchain recently fell to as low as just 4 in a single day, marking a two-month low in whale participation. Santiment classifies whale transaction count as transactions with a value of $1 million or greater. This drop is notable, as it is a drastic change from the high levels of participation of whale traders in October and early November, which reached as high as 212 whale transactions on October 11.  Related Reading: Here’s What To Expect If The XRP Price Holds $2 This drop is an extension of a steady Dogecoin cooldown that has persisted through the past few weeks. Large-holder activity can serve as a proxy for institutional or high-volume investors. Therefore, the current decline suggests that big players are either waiting for better entry conditions or scaling back exposure. At the time of writing, Santiment data shows that there were 11 Dogecoin whale transactions in the past 24 hours. Although this is a rebound from the alarming four-transaction low, the current level is far below what is considered a healthy range for a cryptocurrency that relies heavily on sentiment bursts of activity. The reduction in transfers is especially notable at a time when Dogecoin’s price action in the past 24 hours is attempting to maintain an important level above $0.15.

That estimation aligns with the weak inflows into Spot Dogecoin ETFs and the overall quietness from major holders. It is difficult for the price to build a strong upward trend without whales participating on the buy side. It’s not just the presence of whales that matters, but  the nature of their activity. Earlier in the year, on October 11, whale transactions surged to 212, but most of those were sell orders. The result was immediate and painful, as the Dogecoin price dropped from $0.25 to $0.18 in a single day.
