Dogecoin Holds Firm Near $0.17 as Whale Activity Doubles Amid Geopolitical Tensions
Dogecoin is trading steadily around $0.17 after a recent 4.6% slide, finding solid footing in the $0.166–$0.167 zone despite continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty.
While broader market headwinds persist, there are signs of quiet optimism for DOGE. Whale accumulation has jumped 112% over the past week, suggesting large players are positioning for potential gains if the coin can break above crucial resistance levels at $0.18, $0.21, and $0.36.
