Dogecoin price traded at $0.1304 on Tuesday, up 1.39% in the last 24 hours. Whales accumulated 138 million DOGE during this period, signaling renewed investor interest. The price is currently aiming at breaking out of the resistance zone above the price of $0.15 as the price starts to gain momentum.

The wider crypto market rose 0.7% as well, rebounding after the recent losses despite macroeconomic fears. Bitcoin price is targeting a move over $90,000, and Ethereum is at a standoff at nearly $3,000.

Ethereum price is trading below $3,000 after failing to sustain a short-lived recovery. The market remains cautious as ETH consolidates within a narrow range. Bulls are looking at breaking out of the market at a high of above $3,050, which can indicate the market will move upwards.

Nevertheless, when the whale wallets start selling off, ETH may fall to as low as $2,800. The mood of the market has come to rely on big players and the ability of buyers to recapture the situation at the higher level above $3,000.
