A sharp rally saw BONK briefly spike to its daily high before retreating on profit-taking, as more than 100 billion tokens changed hands.

Investor sentiment was shaped by several developments, including a $11.4 million BONK transfer to Binance by Galaxy Digital after building a $30 million position, and Binance’s removal of its “Seed Tag” risk label on BONK - an indicator of increasing institutional confidence.

The BonkFun platform also continued to lead the memecoin launchpad sector, generating $19.3 million in fees for the second consecutive week.

While short-term volatility remains elevated, the ability to maintain key technical support levels suggests underlying strength in BONK's market structure as it navigates renewed interest from both retail and institutional participants.

Technical Analysis

  • Robust support level established at $0.000033 with elevated buying interest.
