DOGE Faces Selling Pressure as $200M Whale Transfer to Binance Caps Rally

Token holds narrow range near $0.22 as large holders liquidate and corporate desks absorb flows.

Updated Aug 28, 2025, 5:13 a.m. Published Aug 28, 2025, 5:13 a.m.

A whale transferred 900 million DOGE to Binance, causing fears of a sell-off and a brief price drop.
Despite the transfer, whales accumulated 680 million DOGE in August, indicating a balance between selling and buying.
DOGE's price remains in a tight range, with strong support at $0.219 and resistance at $0.225.

Between August 24–25, a whale shifted 900 million DOGE (over $200 million) into Binance wallets, sparking fears of a broader sell-off. Prices briefly fell from $0.25 to test $0.23 support on elevated volumes.
Despite this, on-chain data shows whales accumulated 680 million DOGE through August, creating a tug-of-war between distribution and accumulation.
Futures positioning weakened, with open interest sliding 8% in the aftermath of the transfer, highlighting reduced speculative leverage.
Broader meme-coin sentiment remains tied to macro signals, with Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks fueling a temporary sector-wide rally.

From August 27 at 03:00 to August 28 at 02:00, DOGE traded in a tight $0.01 (3%) range, holding around $0.22.
Peak institutional participation came at 20:00 GMT on August 27, when DOGE advanced from $0.219 to $0.224 on 1.26 billion volume — nearly 4x the hourly norm.
Late in the session (01:20–02:19 GMT on Aug. 28), DOGE rallied from $0.219 lows to $0.224 intraday highs before profit-taking returned it to the $0.220–$0.221 band.

Support: Strong bid interest around $0.219–$0.220 has emerged as the new floor.
Resistance: $0.224–$0.225 continues to cap short-term rallies after repeated failures.
Momentum: RSI steady in the mid-50s suggests equilibrium rather than trend acceleration.
Volume: Institutional spike to 1.26 billion tokens at $0.22 marked accumulation interest, but overall declining activity hints at consolidation.
Patterns: Tight trading range indicates compression phase; resolution could set the stage for directional breakout.
Risk Gauges: Futures OI down 8% signals lighter positioning — reducing immediate volatility but also tempering breakout conviction.

Whether $0.219 support holds under further whale distribution.
Breakout above $0.225 as a trigger toward $0.23–$0.24.
Sustained corporate accumulation around $0.22 as evidence of treasury desks positioning ahead of broader market catalysts.
Signs of renewed leverage in futures markets that could amplify DOGE’s next directional move.
