With DOGE trading for $0.338 at time of writing, the whales’ Dogecoin trove is now worth $158.86 million.
In total, the deep-pocketed investors accumulated $2.698 billion worth of XRP and DOGE.
Looking at the charts, Martinez predicts that XRP will skyrocket to a huge price tag in February, noting that the asset has two potential entry points.
“The first is the rising trendline of the pennant, at $2.05. The second is a breakout outside of the pennant, at $2.50. Regardless of your entry, the target remains $10!”
