DOGE Rallies 6% Amid Rumors of 401(k) Fund Inclusion

DOGE climbed from $0.25 to $0.27 as trading volume surpassed 1.1 billion tokens.

Whale accumulation and bullish indicators suggest strong momentum for further price gains.

Speculation over 401(k) fund inclusion fuels renewed investor optimism and market interest.

Following a movement of 6% that attracted the crypto market's interest, Dogecoin — DOGE, is back in the headlines. The meme coin was priced at a high of $0.25 and continued toward a high of $0.27 in less than 24 hours, the clear move in weeks. Trading volume surged well above 1.1 billion tokens indicating that investor interest is returning. The talk of integrating 401(k) retirement funds among cryptocurrency, drew another wave of excitement in traders anticipating more upside.

Whales Accumulate as Technicals Turn Bullish

DOGE has been fluctuating between a 7% range of $0.25 and $0.27. It briefly touched $0.2701 before consolidating. Although the price slightly pulled back, trading volume demonstrates strong participation in the market. A lot of traders are viewing this small pullback as a cooldown rather than a weakness. During this time, whale wallets clearly accumulated during this period.

Mid-tier and large tier holders have added more than 30 million DOGE tokens. Exchange outflows of around $25 million show that many holders moved their assets to private wallets, often seen as a developing confidence. On the technical setup, a bullish sentiment is visible. The chart shows an ascending triangle pattern in price action, producing higher lows while pressing against a resistance level.

Watching Resistance and the 401(k) Buzz

DOGE is facing short-term resistance in the vicinity of the $0.2700 level, where some selling pressure developed. A move above the $0.2720 level would likely lead to higher levels with the next target near $0.2800, followed by $0.2880 and $0.2920. If buyers can build momentum the $0.30 level will become the next psychological target.

On the downside, support is likely situated near the $0.2650 level with additional stronger support levels at $0.2580 and $0.2500. If we break below $0.2500 we could experience a short-term pullback to the $0.2320 or $0.2250 level. However, traders are calling this healthy consolidation and profit taking rather than a reversal. The increased activity here is based on speculation around the SEC approving the potential inclusion of DOGE within 401k funds.

Bitcoin and Ethereum already have access to retirement portfolios; therefore, investors believe that DOGE could eventually have the same access. The excitement that has emerged recently has brought new optimism into the market, especially long term holders who are betting on a shift from Dogecoin being a meme to a mainstream asset. For now, traders are waiting to see if DOGE will continue to hold above $0.27.
