Whale wallets added more than 1.14 billion DOGE in 96 hours, a $112 million buying spree that extends a pattern of accumulation seen repeatedly through 2026. Dogecoin keeps stalling against the same resistance band even as the buying continues.

Whale wallets bought $112 million in Dogecoin over the past 96 hours. They added more than 1.14 billion DOGE tokens during that span, while the meme coin keeps pressing against overhead resistance without breaking through.

Accumulation keeps repeating

On-chain analytics platform Santiment tracked the buying, and crypto analyst Ali Martinez flagged it. In May 2026, a similar 96-hour window saw whales add 525 million DOGE as the price hovered near its 200-day moving average.

Then, between September 9 and 14, wallets holding at least 100 million DOGE each added roughly 240 million tokens as the price slid from about $0.091 to $0.081. The collective whale stash climbed toward 19 billion DOGE during that stretch.

Resistance at $0.10 remains the wall to watch

DOGE has traded near $0.10 after a 25% weekly rally in late September, but the zone between $0.10 and $0.105 has proven stubborn.

Futures open interest for DOGE climbed to between $1.5 billion and $1.67 billion during peak activity. Short liquidations in DOGE derivatives exceeded $12 million during the recent accumulation phases. On a single day in September 2026, Grayscale's DOGE ETF attracted roughly $910,000 in inflows, the largest daily figure since January.

Concentration risk is the quiet part

The top 149 wallets, each holding over 100 million DOGE, have at times controlled more than 108 billion tokens. When whales buy, that concentration can create a supply squeeze that pushes prices higher; when they sell, the same dynamic works in reverse.
