DOGE mega whales added 1.42 billion tokens worth $255 million, betting on a rebound as long as $0.17 support holds.
As Halloween nears, fear seems to have gripped the crypto market more than excitement. Prices have slipped again, with the market down 3.7% at the time of writing. Yet, big players appear unfazed. Data shows whales are buying before Halloween, quietly building positions across three major altcoins.
Two of these tokens are being picked up during dips, while one is being bought on strength — showing rare conviction amid rising market fear.
Among the coins whales are buying before Halloween, Aave — a DeFi lending token — has drawn steady attention.
The Halloween pickup began on October 27, when AAVE whales holding between 1 million and 10 million tokens increased their balances from 4.86 million to 4.94 million, adding roughly 80,000 AAVE worth about $17 million at the current price.
This accumulation continued as AAVE’s price dipped 6.3% in the past 24 hours, extending its broader three-month downtrend of 17.7%.

Between October 13 and 26, AAVE’s price made a lower high while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) made a higher high, forming a hidden bearish divergence that hints at the continuation of the broader downtrend. That setup kick-started the latest correction, after which whales began buying the dip above the support zones.
Interestingly, AAVE has shown consistent post-Halloween momentum every year since 2020, averaging an 11.8% rebound in the week after Halloween.
So, whales buying before Halloween doesn’t come as a surprise — they may be positioning for another seasonal bounce toward $230 and $248, or even higher if $248 breaks cleanly. Please note that the RSI is now moving in sync with the price.
That might bring some stability to the AAVE price action if the nearest support of $210 holds.
However, if $210 fails to hold, whales might look for support near $199, but losing that level would invalidate the rebound hypothesis and signal that accumulation could stretch longer before a recovery forms.
Maple Finance (SYRUP) is one of the few altcoins in green that whales are buying before Halloween. While most of the market has turned red this week, SYRUP continues to keep the losses in check.
At the time of writing, the token trades at around $0.41, up approximately 1% in the past 24 hours and nearly 10% over the past month. This steady move higher suggests quiet confidence among large holders.
Data shows that whales holding between 1 million and 10 million SYRUP tokens have grown their stash from 246.95 million to 254.62 million since October 28, adding roughly 7.67 million tokens, worth about $3.14 million at current prices.
The Smart Money Index (SMI) — which measures the positioning of experienced bounce-hungry traders — also supports this bullish tone. It has been making higher highs since October 23, signaling that smart investors are positioning early for a potential upside.
As long as the SMI stays above 1.29, the bias remains bullish.
In price action terms, SYRUP faces a strong resistance at $0.43, which has rejected past breakouts. If it clears this hurdle, the token could rally toward $0.46. Holding above $0.46 would strengthen the case for a broader uptrend.
However, a dip below $0.39 may lead to a deeper pullback. If $0.38 fails to hold, the next major support lies near $0.33.
Breaking below that level would invalidate the bullish accumulation setup and suggest that whales may extend their buying before the next rebound.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has again drawn attention from large investors ahead of Halloween. Despite being one of the most volatile performers during previous years, whales are buying before Halloween, betting on another potential DOGE rebound in November.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin trades around $0.18, down 21% over the past month as part of its ongoing downtrend. Still, mega whales holding between 100 million and 1 billion DOGE have been quietly adding to their stash.
Since October 28, their holdings have increased from 27.68 billion DOGE to 29.1 billion DOGE, representing an addition of 1.42 billion DOGE, valued at approximately $255.6 million at current prices.
This surge in accumulation shows that whales remain confident about Dogecoin’s near-term recovery potential despite broader weakness.
On the 12-hour chart, Dogecoin’s price has made a higher low between October 17 and October 30, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has made a lower low. This pattern is termed hidden bullish divergence and signals a potential short-term rebound.
Currently, Dogecoin trades within a narrow range between $0.17 and $0.20, which has held since October 11. If $0.17 holds, the RSI setup supports a possible rebound toward $0.20, a move that would imply a 14.6% upside. A clean breakout above $0.20 could then pave the way for $0.27.
However, if $0.17 fails, the next strong support lies near $0.14. A breakdown below that would invalidate the bullish case and could extend the current consolidation or push prices lower before another rebound attempt.
Overall, Dogecoin (DOGE) remains one of the few large-cap coins whales are buying before Halloween. The conviction is supported by a visible accumulation and a bullish RSI divergence, which hints that the range-bound phase may soon end.
