This rally coincides with the news that Elon Musk has publicly apologized to Donald Trump, a development often associated with new interest and volatility in meme-inspired cryptocurrencies. However, despite the bullish trend, market analysis is raising questions about the real drivers behind this latest buying frenzy.
According to recent data, the price of Dogecoin is around $0.2031, up from about $0.1909 yesterday. The market capitalization of this cryptocurrency has increased to $30.39 billion, while its 24-hour trading volume has significantly risen to $1.57 billion. This increase in volume indicates heightened activity, but the nature of the buyers remains quite mysterious.
Previous observations of the market, especially from the analysis "Spot retail trading activity through the rally in transaction frequency" by CryptoQuant, highlight an important point: the typical pattern of high transaction frequency from "retail investors"—individual retail traders—usually accompanied by major price peaks of Dogecoin, has not yet appeared in the current bullish phase.
While low trading volume has been successfully recorded at the recent bottom (green), indicating a potential consolidation phase, the red zones showing strong retail interest near the peak have not appeared.
This difference raises the question: if the ordinary retail "ant" army is not leading, then who will buy? Several possibilities emerge:
Activities of organizations or whales: Larger, more sophisticated investors or "whales" may execute significant buy transactions, pushing the price up with fewer but larger trades. Their movements may not exhibit the high-frequency trading characteristics of individual retail investors. Algorithmic trading: Automated trading systems can quickly react to news related to Elon Musk, executing trades based on pre-programmed strategies, thereby contributing to increased volume. Short selling coverage: Traders who have bet against Dogecoin by "shorting" it may be forced to buy back the asset to cover their positions as the price rises, inadvertently creating additional bullish pressure.
As Elon Musk's relationship with Dogecoin continues to impact its market performance, the current rally seems to be occurring without the same level of widespread retail speculation and high frequency that drove previous explosive rallies. Market participants will be closely watching to see if "whale investors" ultimately join the rally, or if this rally is still primarily driven by less visible forces. #TradingTools101
