Whale Gobbles $200M in DOGE—Price Pumps 5.6% Before Late-Session Sharks Move In
DOGE defies gravity—briefly—as a crypto whale swallows $200 million worth of the meme coin, sending prices soaring 5.6%.
Pump and dump? Not so fast...
The rally couldn't hold. Late-session traders cashed out, trimming gains like hedge funders at a tax loophole seminar. Classic crypto volatility—where 'fundamentals' mean watching whale wallets and dodging paper hands.
Pro tip: When the big fish eat, retail traders become plankton. Enjoy the ride—just don't forget who's really running the aquarium.
