After two sharp market declines this month, altcoins are again attracting attention from large investors. Despite the general caution, crypto whales appear to be positioning themselves early for a recovery, buying key altcoins ahead of the expected October rate cut.
With the possibility of a Fed rate cut, three altcoins are quietly attracting strong inflows. Whales are buying these altcoins on dips, showing early positioning and growing confidence.
Dogecoin (Doge)
First on the list is Dogecoin (Doge). This is one of the few altcoins that shows clear signs of whale accumulation even after a strong correction.
The Meme token has fallen more than 34% in the past 30 days, but crypto whales appear to be buying the dip, possibly in preparation for a rate cut in October.
According to on- chain data, the group of whales holding between 100 million and 1 billion Doge started increasing their supply again after October 16.
Their total Doge holdings increased from 28.16 billion Doge to 29.61 billion Doge. This means they added about 1.45 billion Doge — worth about $268 million at the current Doge price.

This fresh accumulation comes as the daily chart shows a standard bullish divergence between price and RSI, a momentum indicator.
Between June 22 and October 10, Doge price made a lower low, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) made a higher low — usually a sign of a potential trend reversal.
If Dogecoin can close the daily candle above $0.188 and $0.217, it could confirm the recovery momentum. From there, the next resistance levels are at $0.242, $0.269, and even $0.306 in the short to medium term.

However, if the price slides below $0.170, the bullish structure could weaken.
With FedWatch now showing a 100% chance of a rate cut in October, whales appear to be betting on loose monetary policy.
Cardano (ADA)
Next on the list is Cardano (ADA) — another altcoin that is seeing massive accumulation from whales even as its price struggles . ADA is down nearly 32% over the past 30 days, but large investors appear to be taking advantage of the weakness to position early, much like crypto whales did with Dogecoin.
Two major whale groups have been accumulating heavily. The larger group, holding more than 1 billion ADA, started buying on October 12, increasing their holdings from 1.5 billion to 1.59 billion ADA, and has held steady since then.
A second group—wallets with between 100 million and 1 billion ADA —began adding a day later, on October 13, increasing the supply from 3.91 billion to 4.07 billion ADA.
They added in stages on October 14, 16, and 17, showing steady confidence throughout ADA's price drop.

With Cardano (ADA) currently at $0.62, these whales have added approximately $150 million worth of ADA in less than a week. This growing accumulation despite the falling price suggests that large investors are anticipating a possible trend reversal.
And, they may be taking advantage of reduced prices.
On the daily chart, ADA shows a strong bullish divergence between price and RSI. Between February 9 and October 10, ADA price made a lower low, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) made a higher low — a signal that bearish momentum is weakening.

Currently, ADA is trading around $0.62, but a daily candle close above $0.68 could confirm a breakout. If that happens, the altcoin could target $0.76, $0.89, and even $1.01, fueled by the October rate cut.
However, if the price slides below $0.61, the structure could weaken, opening the way for $0.50.
CZ's dog (BROCCOLI)
Rounding out the list is BROCCOLI (CZ’s Dog). This is a unique but increasingly popular altcoin that is quietly gaining traction ahead of the expected rate cut in October.
Unlike Dogecoin and Cardano, BROCCOLI is not among the top Token by market Capital . However, the whale accumulation pattern suggests that it is starting to attract serious interest.
BROCCOLI is down just 4.4% over the past 24 hours, while its seven-day decline is limited to just 2.4%. This shows relatively strong stability despite the overall market decline. And this stability seems to be attracting the attention of large investors.
Data shows that whale holdings of BROCCOLI have increased by 8.9% over the past day. Additionally, mega whales — the top 100 addresses — have added 0.65% to their holdings.
Combined, these groups have amassed over 7 million BROCCOLI Token in 24 hours, worth nearly $170,000 at BROCCOLI's current price.
Even as “smart money” wallets reduce exposure by more than 40%, the accumulation by whales and mega whales reflects growing confidence in the Token’s short-term prospects.

The Money Flow Index (MFI) — a momentum indicator that measures buying and selling pressure using both price and volume — is showing a clear bullish divergence.
Between 08/07/2023 and 10/14/2023, the price of BROCCOLI made a lower low, but the MFI made a higher low. This means that retail investor inflows are increasing even as the price falls, indicating increasing accumulation rather than panic selling.

To confirm strength, BROCCOLI needs to close above $0.027, which could open the door for a rally towards $0.035 and $0.043. Conversely, a drop below $0.018 would weaken the structure and signal further downside.
