Despite the reversal, BONK stabilized above the $0.00003400 level with support in the $0.00003185-$0.00003230 zone, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model. Trading activity surged as speculative flows responded to conflicting signals: bullish supply reduction versus the bearish pressure of potential sell-side liquidity injections.
The broader crypto market's shift toward altcoins continued to boost meme token trading volumes as with bitcoin's market dominance weakening. BONK has benefited from increased institutional and retail attention, even as its price action remains volatile and sensitive to on-chain movements.
