Dogecoin Price To $0.5 Ahead? Whale Sacks 87M DOGE Sparking Optimism

Renowned dog-themed meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin garnered significant attention on Wednesday as market stats projected a highly bullish outlook for the token’s price. Crypto market watchers anticipate a $0.5 price target for the token ahead in light of its recent rally. The meme coin’s price is up nearly 21% over the month, while it extended intraday gains to roughly 3% today. A massive 87 million DOGE whale accumulation in the interim has added to optimism surrounding the token’s future movements, with a potential $0.5 target looming over the horizon.

Whale Accumulates 87M DOGE Echoing Optimism Over Price Ahead

As per recent on-chain data by Whale Alert on X, an unknown wallet address, ‘DEndnpPewG,’ bagged 86.87 million DOGE, worth $10.86 million, from Robinhood. The massive accumulation hinted at increased investor confidence in the asset’s potential to offer gains ahead.

Meanwhile, recent broader events have further impacted the leading meme coin‘s price, as also seen by the broader sector’s gains that suggest growing interest. A recent CoinGape Media report revealed that Dogecoin price saw nearly 8% gains in light of Elon Musk’s $75 million donation to boost Donald Trump’s election bid.

For context, recent Polymarket data shows Trump’s winning odds at 59.7% and Kamala Harris’ at 40.2%, tilting the scales towards the Republican Party. With the U.S. elections looming in November, a potential win for Trump could significantly bolster the dog-themed token’s price. This bullish projection comes against the backdrop of the Republican’s pro-crypto stance. Further, Elon Musk has also accepted the role of D.O.G.E (Department of Government Efficiency) under Trump’s cabinet recently, given the former U.S. president wins the upcoming elections. Altogether, the abovementioned events have prompted an optimistic sentiment for the meme coin’s price ahead, especially given Musk’s previous backing for the crypto.

Is $0.5 Next?

Simultaneously, Dogecoin price currently surfs bullish waves in the market. At press time, the coin gained nearly 3% to rest at $0.1220. Its intraday low and high were recorded as $0.1176 and $0.1294, respectively. DOGE 24-hour trading volume noted a 50% surge amid the coin’s recent gains. Further, the weekly and monthly charts indicated an increase of 13% and 21%, respectively.

A recent DOGE price analysis by CoinGape Media suggests that the coin could soar as high as the $0.5 level amid growing market interest in the asset. Simultaneously, Coinglass data propelled further optimism as the meme coin’s futures OI surged 20% to $763.15 million recently. The derivatives volume rocketed nearly 61% to $3.78 billion, underlining rising investor interest in the asset.
