Dogecoin Price Drops as Whale Moves 900M DOGE to Leading Exchange

A whale-sized movement rattled the Dogecoin (DOGE) market today. Blockchain watcher Whale Alert flagged a transfer of 900 million DOGE, roughly $207.97 million in value, from an unknown wallet into Binance’s custody. The on-chain alert immediately sparked talk of whether the deposit would turn into a large sell order or was simply an exchange custody move.

Coins arriving at an exchange are often interpreted as a precursor to selling, but exchanges also receive large deposits for reasons that have nothing to do with immediate market dumps, including OTC block trades, custodial transfers, and margin/collateral operations. Prices reacted without drama but with careful interest.

Dogecoin was trading in the low $0.22–$0.24 range around the time of the transfer, a level that reflected the coin’s recent stretch of choppiness and heightened retail attention. Market-data aggregators showed DOGE hovering near $0.23 with a trading volume of $4.58 billion. Historical price action gives a useful frame.

Over the past weeks, the DOGE price has traded between roughly $0.20 on the downside and the mid-$0.20s on the upside, with recent swing lows clustering around the $0.20 psychological mark and resistance forming in the $0.26–$0.28 area where sellers have shown themselves previously.

Traders watching the order books said they would be alert to the emergence of large ask walls on Binance or a sudden spike in sell-side market orders, either of which could create a short-lived snap lower for the meme coin. Some retail holders voiced concern about a potential unwind, while others pointed out that exchanges frequently act as clearing houses for OTC desks and custodians and that a deposit alone does not equal a sell.

Analysts who monitor whale flows noted that the DOGE supply has seen periods of concentration among large wallets recently, which amplifies the market’s sensitivity to single large transfers because a small number of holders can influence price psychology more than they would in a more distributed market.
