DOGE Rally Stalls at 20-Cents, But Large Holder Activity Flashes Bullish Signs

DOGE rose 5% during the 24-hour session from August 2 at 21:00 to August 3 at 20:00, climbing from $0.189 to $0.200 before slipping slightly to close at $0.198. The rally was driven by consistent accumulation and large holder activity, with key breakouts at $0.194, $0.196, and $0.198. However, the token failed to maintain momentum above the $0.20 resistance and reversed during the final hour of trading, indicating a short-term top and setting the stage for a potential consolidation phase.
