It has risen steadily since March 10, when the Chainlink price formed a foothold at the $5.90 support. After that, Chainlink continued to record eight possible eleven green days, breaking key thresholds at MA 50 and 200 ($7.06 and $6.93, respectively).
The whale accumulation over the last two weeks seems to have had a positive impact on the LINK price. Supporting the recent increase is also a positive intersection of these moving averages. According to analysts, if Chainlink’s current rise continues, it may be motivated to reach the $8.2 and $8.4 levels. The daily RSI points to a bullish advantage as it remains bullish above the neutral level of 50.

From a surface level analysis of its performance, it can be pointed out that the slower development of Dogecoin (DOGE) compared to leading digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Dogecoin’s rise is relatively modest; As of this writing, it’s down 0.67% in the last 24 hours to $0.07408. While it has surpassed 7.52% week-to-date (WTD) compared to Bitcoin’s 27.7%, the latest positive rise in the ecosystem hasn’t moved it much for an altcoin considered to have very high volatility. Despite this prediction, according to analysts, Dogecoin may experience an unexpected parabolic price increase in the short to medium term.

According to analysts, if these whale accumulations continue to increase, the altcoin price is likely to experience a massive increase in the near term.
cryptocoin.com As you follow, DOGE price has been down for a long time since it hit an all-time high of $0.739. In June 2022, the price hit lows of $0.049. Besides, DOGE price is currently below the $0.080 barrier level. Since 2021, this crucial horizontal level has occasionally acted as both support and resistance. In other words, it is not yet known what the Dogecoin price trend will be. According to analysts, a break below $0.068 slides towards $0.050, while a break above $0.080 could prompt a rapid rise towards $0.115. On-chain statistics suggest that whale assets could soon push Dogecoin, but there is a clear need for the protocol to diversify its built-in growth triggers.
