  • SUNDOG spikes 32% as whales withdraw $3.5M and trader volume surges 204%.
  • Price eyes $0.079 breakout as on-chain activity and indicators confirm bullish bias.

Whales aggressively accumulated SUNDOG [SUNDOG], withdrawing over 69 million tokens worth $3.56 million from Bybit. This movement involved two new wallets and two possibly linked ones. 

The spike in whale activity aligns with the ongoing 32.73% daily price surge. At press time, the token traded at $0.06909.

When price and accumulation rise together, it often foreshadows stronger rallies.

Therefore, if accumulation continues, it may validate bullish expectations. This sets the stage for increased speculation and short-term upside potential in the token’s performance.

Are traders betting big? 

SUNDOG’s derivatives metrics show a sharp rise in speculative interest.

Derivatives Volume spiked 204.89% to $29.66 million, while Open Interest rose 43.82% to $15.07 million. These figures suggest a growing appetite for leverage among traders. 

Furthermore, the combination of increasing Volume and Open Interest implies strong conviction behind recent bets. The increase reflects confidence in near-term price continuation.

The OKX Liquidation Heatmap confirmed intense sell-side liquidation around the $0.07 level. As price pierced this zone, liquidations triggered an aggressive short squeeze.

Consequently, the move forced many traders out, accelerating upside pressure. 

Interestingly, another liquidation cluster sat around $0.075. So, if bulls keep pressing, fresh liquidations may stack up, accelerating momentum further.

Can bulls push through? $0.079, $0.12 targets ahead

SUNDOG was approaching a key resistance near $0.079 at press time. A confirmed breakout above this zone could clear the path toward $0.12. 

Technically, the MACD has shown a bullish crossover, signaling momentum strength. Additionally, the 9-day moving average has crossed above the 21-day moving average, confirming a bullish MA cross. 

These two signals together point to an improving trend structure. However, failure to reclaim and hold above $0.079 could trigger a short-term retracement.

Still, indicators currently favor bullish continuation if volume holds steady.

Address activity signals growing interest

On-chain activity pointed to a broader rise in user engagement. New Addresses jumped 171.43%, while Active Addresses climbed 76.19% over 7 days.

Zero Balance Wallets also rose by 123.81%, indicating fresh wallet generation and activity churn. This rise in participation supports price action from a fundamental angle.

If this trend holds, it will likely strengthen bullish conviction.

Volatility has cooled.

SUNDOG’s 30-day Volatility dropped to 116.68%, its lowest in a month.

This suggests a shift toward more stable price action. When paired with an uptrend, low volatility often supports cleaner breakouts. 

Therefore, the current setup favors trend development. This calm backdrop provides a launchpad for stronger moves.

However, a sudden volume drop could weaken momentum.

Can SUNDOG maintain its bullish trajectory above $0.07?

Momentum, whale accumulation, and on-chain growth support SUNDOG’s recent surge. If price breaks $0.079 with volume, $0.12 becomes realistic. However, failure to hold current levels could invite consolidation. 

Still, with traders and whales aligned, the path favors bulls. As long as address activity and derivatives volume remain elevated, SUNDOG could extend its rally in the sessions ahead.
