BONK has traded within a $0.0000042 range with multiple failed attempts to reclaim lost ground. The price was rejected from $0.000038 around 14:00 UTC on Thursday record-breaking volume, igniting a cascading selloff that established a declining trend through the following day.
Despite intermittent rebounds - especially near the $0.0000338–$0.0000341 support corridor - each bounce was met with renewed selling, pointing to heavy institutional distribution.
Intermittent volume spikes confirmed sustained downward pressure even as the broader crypto market moved sideways.
BONK did surge to an intraday high of $0.0000354 at 10:50 UTC before encountering fresh sell walls, retreating to $0.0000345.
With BONK now trading beneath key resistance at $0.0000350 and high-volume breakdowns confirming trend reversal, traders are eyeing support retests near $0.0000335, with caution warranted unless strong buying interest re-emerges.
