#加密市场开年反弹 DOGE Market Analysis: Rational View on the "Divergence" Phenomenon, Reject Panic Selling
Key Conclusion: Although DOGE currently faces technical resistance levels, the "whale manipulation" theory lacks basis. It is recommended to make decisions based on data and rational analysis rather than panic selling.
📊 Current DOGE Market Situation (January 4, 2026) Key Data:
• Current Price: $0.14-0.145 (slight variations across exchanges)
• 24-Hour Increase: +6.28% (Source: user-shared data)
• Weekly Increase: approximately +23% (rising from about $0.12)
• Year-to-Date Decline: about 80% retracement from the 2021 high of $0.73
• Market Cap Rank: around #10, approximately $25.1 billion
• 24-Hour Trading Volume: about $2.2 billion (86% increase)
Position Distribution (Based on 2025 Data):
• Total Addresses: approximately 5.7 million
• Chip Concentration: aside from one address holding about 20%, the top 100 holders account for only 65%
• Conclusion: Compared to most small-cap coins, DOGE’s chip distribution is relatively dispersed; claims of "highly controlled" are unsupported by data
🔍 Analysis of the "Chip Divergence" Truth
Most users mention the "divergence" phenomenon: price stagnation but decreasing chip holdings
Rational Analysis:
1. What is genuine chip divergence?
• On-chain holdings decreasing + price remaining high = possibly large holders transferring to exchanges in preparation to sell
• But note: on-chain holdings data usually refer to exchange wallet balances; reductions may indicate:
• Large holders transferring to cold wallets (long-term holding)
• Transfers to other exchanges (arbitrage)
• Genuine selling (must be judged in conjunction with price trends)
2. Current DOGE Situation:
• Futures Holdings:
OKEx data shows DOGE-USDT perpetual contract holdings at $84.63 million, no abnormal volume surge
• Spot Trading Volume: 86% increase in 24 hours, indicating active trading rather than zombie trading
• On-chain Whales: recent activity includes both increased holdings (+1 billion coins over 1 month) and transfers out, normal market behavior
• ETF Progress:
Grayscale, Bitwise, and others are establishing DOGE ETFs, indicating institutional funds are entering rather than exiting
3. Flaws in User Claims:
• "Negative holdings" : technically impossible; likely a misstatement (possibly referring to declining growth rate)
• "Hidden large-volume short positions" : futures basis only +0.076% (longs pay shorts), no clear market signal of short dominance
• "$0.117-$0.141 wide-range accumulation" : $0.117 is a strong support, but near $0.141 is a recent breakout resistance, not an accumulation zone
🎯 Technical Analysis of Key Support and Resistance Levels:
Support:
• $0.135: recent breakout level, now the first support
• $0.12: psychological level, previous low area
• $0.1088: strong support (mentioned in January 1, 2026 analysis)
Resistance:
• $0.145: current pressure zone
• $0.15: integer level, previous trapped positions
• $0.165: medium-term strong resistance
Indicators:
• RSI: around 60 on daily chart, not overbought (70+)
• MACD: golden cross on 4-hour chart, short-term bullish
• Volume: increased 86%, rising with price, indicating healthy volume-price growth
DOGE is in a rebound trend but not confirmed reversal
• Gradual Position Building: if retraces to $0.12-$0.125 zone, consider scaling in
• Position Size: total position not exceeding 20%, due to high volatility of meme coins
