Whale-led accumulation dominated early and mid-session flows, with over $200 million in DOGE purchased over 24 hours. The $0.22 level held firmly on multiple retests, drawing in leveraged long positioning.
However, the $0.23 resistance zone triggered profit-taking from short-term traders and potential distribution from large holders.
