Long-Term Dogecoin Holders Are In “Denial” – On-Chain Metrics Expose Weakness
27 February 2025 - 8:30AM
NEWSBTC
Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading at key demand levels after two weeks of
intense selling pressure, with bears driving DOGE down over 30%.
The broader crypto market has faced a prolonged correction that
started in mid-January, but meme coins have been the most impacted.
As the market leader in the meme coin sector, Dogecoin has suffered
extreme volatility, testing lower support levels as investor
sentiment remains bearish. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Down Below
Key Demand – Analyst Expects A Drop To $1.65 Glassnode’s on-chain
metrics reveal that long-term Dogecoin holders are in “denial”,
signaling growing uncertainty among those who have held DOGE for
extended periods. The DOGE Long-Term Holder Net Unrealized
Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator has been in a declining trend, meaning
that many long-term holders are seeing diminishing unrealized
profits or even slipping into losses. This trend suggests that
holders who once remained confident in Dogecoin’s long-term
potential are now facing market doubt and may consider selling if
conditions don’t improve. As DOGE trades near crucial support, the
next few days will be critical for determining whether bulls can
reclaim control and push for recovery or if selling pressure will
continue, forcing DOGE into deeper correction territory. Bitcoin
and the whole market are setting fresh lows, and this week will be
crucial for bulls to defend key demand at these levels. Dogecoin
Crashes: Can Bulls Regain Control? Dogecoin has experienced a
massive sell-off, plunging more than 59% from its December high of
around $0.48 to a recent low of $0.19. This dramatic decline has
fueled panic across the market, with sentiment deteriorating
further as many analysts begin calling for the start of a bear
market. The downturn has weakened investors’ confidence, and meme
coins—once the hottest sector in the market—are now facing the
harshest corrections. Despite the ongoing decline, on-chain data
suggests not all hope is lost for DOGE. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez
shared Glassnode metrics indicating that long-term Dogecoin holders
are in “denial”, according to the DOGE Long-Term Holder Net
Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator. This data suggests that
many long-term investors are still holding onto their DOGE despite
the downturn but are starting to grow tired of the prolonged
downtrend. Historically, such “denial phases” can precede either a
final capitulation or a strong rebound if bulls reclaim control.

Shares Insights The upcoming week will be crucial in determining
whether Dogecoin can bounce back from current levels or if sellers
will continue to dominate. If DOGE manages to hold key support
levels and reclaim momentum, a relief rally could be in sight.
However, if selling pressure persists, the price may continue
trending downward, extending the correction further. Dogecoin Price
Struggles After 19% Drop Dogecoin is trading at $0.21 after a sharp
19% drop since Monday, continuing its downward trajectory amid
broader market weakness. The meme coin sector has been one of the
hardest hit in recent weeks, with DOGE struggling to find strong
support as selling pressure remains dominant. Bulls now face a
critical test as holding above current levels is essential to avoid
further downside. To initiate a recovery rally, DOGE needs to
reclaim the $0.24 mark, a key resistance level that could signal
the start of an uptrend. However, market sentiment remains
cautious, and price action suggests that DOGE could enter a
consolidation phase below this level before any meaningful recovery
begins. Related Reading: Litecoin Trading Activity Increases Over

fails to hold above $0.21, bears may continue pushing the price
lower, potentially revisiting previous support levels. However, if
buyers step in and DOGE stabilizes, it could build momentum for a
future push toward higher prices. In the short term, traders should
closely watch whether bulls can defend current demand levels and
reclaim key resistance levels to confirm a potential reversal in
price action. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
