Unit 4 — Dogecoin Price Cycles & Whale Behavior
In this unit you learn how Dogecoin moves in cycles, why large holders (whales) influence the market, and how beginners can avoid common traps during hype waves.
Understanding Price Cycles
Cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin, move in repeated patterns called cycles. These cycles are usually driven by:
- Market sentiment (fear or excitement)
- Whale accumulation or selling
- News and social media attention
- Overall crypto market conditions
Phases of a Typical Dogecoin Cycle
- Accumulation: Whales quietly buy while prices stay stable.
- Expansion: Price increases as retail users enter.
- Euphoria: Social media hype peaks; beginners FOMO in.
- Distribution: Whales sell into high demand.
- Correction: Price drops and returns to fair levels.
Whale Behavior: Why It Matters
Whales are addresses that hold very large amounts of DOGE. Their actions can influence the market because they control significant liquidity. Typical whale behaviors include:
- Accumulation: Buying quietly when interest is low.
- Distribution: Selling gradually during hype phases.
- Price stabilization: Supporting price levels by buying dips.
How Beginners Misinterpret Whale Activity
- Thinking whales "pump" DOGE instantly
- Believing every large transaction is bullish
- Panicking when whales move coins internally
- FOMO-buying without understanding cycle timing
Safer Strategies for Beginners
- Avoid chasing sudden green candles
- Track whale wallets to understand context
- Use long-term accumulation instead of hype buying
- Ignore social media panic and hype cycles
