The cryptocurrency market has entered another slump, with the global market cap falling to $2.39 trillion. Dogecoin (DOGE) has also faced a significant correction over the last few days, dipping 25.5% in the weekly charts and 14.8% in the 14-day charts. The asset is still up by nearly 18% over the previous month.
However, despite the correction, a recent whale purchase has thrilled the Dogecoin (DOGE) community. According to on-chain data, a whale wallet purchased 300 million DOGE worth around $45 million. There is a lot of speculation about who the whale might be, with Elon Musk being the top guess among many DOGE fans. Musk is an avid DOGE supporter, and many of his ventures accept DOGE as payment.

One reason for the speculation is Musk sharing a DOGE meme on X just hours before the whale purchase. Fans and investors couldn’t help but notice the uncanny timing of the two events.
Nonetheless, there is no confirmation if Musk is the person behind the whale wallet.
Will Dogecoin (DOGE) rally?
The latest market dip may have prompted the whale to increase its DOGE holdings. The whale may be anticipating a price spike soon. However, predictions around DOGE are not very bullish.
