The Dogecoin network has seen a significant surge in activity following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. Although this surge in activity cuts across the entire industry, on-chain data has revealed interesting dynamics among Dogecoin holders. These developments were brought into focus by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who, using data from the analytics platform Santiment, highlighted a remarkable surge in high-value transactions on the Dogecoin network. According to Martinez, Dogecoin recorded an impressive 588 transactions exceeding $1 million within the last 24 hours.

Dogecoin Renewed Interest From Million-Dollar Transactions

The recent surge in large-scale Dogecoin transactions suggests the possibility of a significant upswing, as this activity typically indicates a liquidity bottom that initiates upward momentum. Historically, a rise in high-value transactions is associated with renewed investor confidence, especially when market sentiment shifts toward bullish trends.

In Dogecoin’s case, the transactions in question are not just sizable but exceptionally significant, with each exceeding $1 million. What makes this surge even more compelling is the timing, as it coincides with the bullish sentiment surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration. Therefore, the current increase in transactions appears more indicative of accumulation rather than sell-offs or profit-taking.

The entire crypto market is currently in a bullish phase, with smart money entering early in anticipation of a pro-crypto environment under the new Donald Trump administration. This further lends credibility to the idea that these transactions could be more of accumulations than selloffs. Even if some of the activity includes sell-offs, the prevailing bullish sentiment suggests that such events may be brief, quickly absorbed by the market’s positive momentum.

Dogecoin is gaining momentum on social media, garnering over 500,000 mentions on platform X within the last 24 hours. This is due to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, sharing the same acronym as Dogecoin’s ticker (DOGE), which has contributed to significant enthusiasm. Heightened visibility on social media often translates into increased retail participation, which could create a combined effect with whale activity to drive the price higher.

DOGE Price Analysis: A New Multi-Year Bullish Pattern 

In another technical analysis, Martinez noted that DOGE is trading within a multi-year ascending parallel channel on the weekly candlestick timeframe. The ongoing bull market gained momentum after Dogecoin rebounded off the lower trendline of the channel in late 2023, and the meme coin has been trading in an upward direction since then. The sustained climb along this channel suggests that DOGE could maintain its bullish trajectory over the longer timeframe.

In terms of a price target, the chart pattern projects a bullish target of $15 at the upper trendline of the ascending parallel channel. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.343, meaning that reaching this target would represent an extraordinary 4,273% increase from its current price level.
