Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Will ‘Pump Hard’ Soon, Here’s Why

A crypto analyst has predicted that Dogecoin’s price action will pump very hard soon if on-chain data is any indication. The meme coin has been trading around $0.10, but a set of network metrics is beginning to provide a constructive outlook. 

Despite the lackluster price action, some analysts believe a recovery may be closer than the price chart suggests. These predictions are based on different factors, but one notable one is the increase in the number of active addresses that are interacting with the Dogecoin network.

Dogecoin Active Addresses Jump 176% In One Week

Recent data from the on-chain analytics platform Santiment points to a significant rise in participation on the Dogecoin network. According to information shared by Ali Martinez, the number of active DOGE addresses increased from 41,557 to 114,662 within the past week, representing a 176% jump.

The chart data of active Dogecoin addresses shows that activity increased at the end of the previous week. Earlier readings were around the 40,000 to 70,000 range before an activity run pushed the number of active addresses above 100,000. The final bar on the chart shows the figure reaching above 114,000 addresses, the highest level in months.

Active addresses are one of the measures of real network engagement. A rise in this metric usually indicates that more users are sending, receiving, or interacting with the asset. In the case of Dogecoin, which is known for its waves of retail participation, a sudden increase in address activity can be a sign that attention is returning to the meme coin.

Commentator Says DOGE Could Pump Hard

The jump in network activity quickly led to reactions among market observers. Crypto commentator Myles G. responded to the data by stating that Dogecoin will “pump hard soon,” linking the increase in active addresses to the possibility of a stronger price move ahead. Such reactions are not unusual in crypto markets. Therefore, it isn’t surprising that the analyst would be anticipating a hard pump for the Dogecoin price.

Arguably, the most consequential development for the possibility of Dogecoin pumping hard is what appears to be coordinated accumulation by large wallet holders. Another update shared by Ali Martinez adds a different dimension to the recent activity surrounding Dogecoin. According to the analyst, whales purchased approximately 470 million DOGE over the past 72 hours.

The chart attached to that post shows the amount of Dogecoin held by large holders climbing from March 12 to March 14. Technical analysis of the Dogecoin price action shows that strength is already building for the meme coin. All it needs is to hold above $0.105 before the end of the week. If history is any precedent, the increase in whale holdings could be the first step in a repricing to the upside.
