Using data from analytics platform Santiment, Martinez says that the sudden DOGE accumulation of whales comes as sentiment for the leading memecoin has dropped close to 2024 lows.

“Market sentiment for Dogecoin is as bearish as it was in early February, just before DOGE skyrocketed by 200%!”

Dogecoin ignited a big surge in February when it rallied from $0.077 on the first day of the month to $0.228 on March 28th. At time of writing, DOGE is worth $0.159.

Looking at Dogecoin rival Shiba Inu, Martinez says that crypto exchanges are suddenly witnessing a massive influx of SHIB.
