BONK Climbs 4% After Binance Reclassification. Then Dips on Profit-Taking

BONK delivered a strong intraday performance on July 21, rising 4% to a high of $0.000037 before late profit-taking pulled the price back to $0.00003492, ending the 24-hour window with a +1.3% gain.

The Solana-based meme token benefited from renewed investor confidence following Binance’s removal of BONK’s “Seed Tag,” a label typically applied to higher-risk projects.

The upgrade, announced on July 21, aligns BONK with more established tokens, reducing perceived regulatory risk and opening the door to greater institutional participation. The news helped drive BONK’s explosive advance between 06:00 and 13:00 UTC, with volume soaring to 3.19 trillion tokens and price breaking upward from $0.000034 to test the $0.000037 resistance zone, according to CoinDesk's technical analysis data.

Technically, BONK traded in a $0.000045 intraday range, reflecting 14% volatility from trough to peak. The advance was marked by persistently higher lows and strong accumulation below $0.000035, but a clear ceiling formed at $0.000037, where distribution began to outpace demand, according to the model.

BONK thereafter fell 2% from $0.000036 to $0.000035. The 15:32 UTC candle alone saw 73 billion tokens traded, indicating profit taking near session highs.

Despite the pullback, BONK’s structural resilience and the positive reclassification signal by Binance suggest strong underlying sentiment. Traders now look to see if the $0.000035 support zone holds, which could lay the groundwork for another breakout attempt should volume return, the model showed.
