A crypto trader tracked by Lookonchain has opened a fresh leveraged long position in Dogecoin, adding DOGE exposure alongside larger Bitcoin and Ethereum bets. The move matters because the wallet, identified as 0x152e, is described by the on-chain analytics account as a “smart whale” with $24.79 million in total profit. According to Lookonchain, the trader moved aggressively across major crypto assets over a three-hour window, opening longs on Ethereum, Bitcoin and Dogecoin. The DOGE position totaled 19.47 million tokens, worth about $2.04 million, while the Ethereum and Bitcoin trades were substantially larger in dollar terms. Dogecoin Draws $2 Million Long From ‘Smart Whale’ “Smart whale 0x152e, with $24.79M in total profit, is going long on ETH, BTC, and DOGE,” Lookonchain wrote on X. “Over the past 3 hours, he opened longs on 4,601 ETH ($9.82M), 118.2 BTC ($9.11M), and 19.47M DOGE ($2.04M). He also placed limit orders to keep adding to his BTC and ETH longs.” Related Reading: How To Time The Dogecoin Bottom And When The Price Will Reach $2 The positioning suggests the trader is not making a single memecoin bet in isolation. DOGE appears to be part of a broader directional long setup across higher-liquidity crypto assets, led by Ethereum and Bitcoin. The Ethereum position, worth $9.82 million, was the largest of the three disclosed longs, followed closely by the $9.11 million Bitcoin position. Dogecoin accounted for the smallest new futures exposure, but still represented a notable $2 million-plus leveraged bet on the memecoin. The additional limit orders are also important. Lookonchain said the whale had placed orders to continue adding to Bitcoin and Ethereum longs, indicating that the trader may be scaling into the position rather than treating the initial entries as a complete allocation. The post did not say whether similar add-on orders were placed for Dogecoin. Related Reading: Dogecoin Fisher Transform Turns Bullish: The Last Setups Were Explosive Beyond the new perpetual positions, the same wallet also holds sizable spot positions in Zcash and Hyperliquid’s HYPE token. Lookonchain said the trader holds 10,797 ZEC, worth about $6.14 million, with an unrealized gain of $3.5 million. The wallet also holds 114,547 HYPE, valued at $5.48 million, with an unrealized gain of $2.2 million. Those spot holdings add context to the “smart whale” label. The wallet is not only showing realized or total profit, according to Lookonchain’s framing, but is also sitting on multi-million-dollar unrealized gains across separate spot positions. The new DOGE long therefore comes from an address that has already built profitable exposure elsewhere in the market. Still, whale tracking has limits. On-chain position data can show what a wallet is doing, but not the trader’s full risk book, hedges, off-chain exposure or intended holding period. A large Dogecoin long from a profitable wallet may attract attention, but it does not by itself confirm a market-wide shift in DOGE demand. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.10429.

Crypto analyst Cyclop has provided insights into when the Bitcoin price could hit a new all-time high (ATH) above $120,000. This came as the analyst alluded to historical data indicating that BTC could bottom in this bear cycle by the last quarter of this year. Analyst Reveals When Bitcoin Price Will Hit New ATH Based On Historical Data In an X post, Cyclop alluded to historical BTC cycles to show when the Bitcoin price will hit a new all-time high. He noted that between 2015 and 2017, BTC enjoyed a bull run for 1,065 days, while between 2017 and 2018, it took 365 days for BTC to bottom in the bear market. Similarly, BTC enjoyed another bull run lasting 1,065 days between 2018 and 2021 before entering a bear market that lasted 365 days. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market Confirmation Will Be Completed Once This Level Is Reclaimed, Analyst Furthermore, between 2022 and 2025, the Bitcoin price experienced another bull run lasting 1,065 days, with BTC rallying to an ATH of 126,000. The leading crypto then topped in October 2025 and has since been in a bear market. Based on this historical data, BTC may be on course to be in this bear market until October 5, which will complete the 365-day cycle. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Bitcoin price could rally to between $140,000 and $150,000 in the next bull run before the leading crypto tops in 2030 and enters another bear market. Meanwhile, this historical data suggests that the Bitcoin bottom isn’t in, despite BTC’s recent rally above $80,000. Bitcoin is once again in a downtrend amid inflation concerns and fears that the U.S.-Iran war could begin soon following stalled peace talks. BTC Local Top Is In Crypto analyst Colin stated that the local top is in for the Bitcoin price, with BTC now eyeing new lows. He noted how the current price action is bearish as the leading crypto rejected the upper channel of a trend line, the 200-moving average, and the underside of the trend line. This underside has been respected as both resistance and support many times, but has now broken to the downside. Related Reading: Analyst Says Don’t Buy Bitcoin Until This Happens In another X post, Colin echoed Cyclop’s sentiments, noting that on a purely time basis, it is extremely unlikely that the BTC borrow was in just after four months, since the Bitcoin price topped last October. The analyst had previously stated that BTC could bottom around $40,000 based on historical data, as the lowest decline the crypto asset has ever suffered in a bear market is 77%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has only seen a 53% drop to the February 2026 low of $60,000. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $76,600, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
