What to know:

  • BONK declined 4% during the July 22–23 trading window, falling from $0.000035 to $0.000033.
  • The token traded in a wide 35% range, with volume exceeding 2.8 trillion tokens.
  • Resistance near $0.000038 triggered broad selling, intensifying around key technical thresholds.

BONK has endured heavy selling pressure during the last 24 hours, with the Solana-based meme token falling 4% from $0.000035 to $0.000033. A volatile trading range of $0.000014 defined the session as investors digested elevated valuations and market-wide positioning shifts.

The asset reached an early peak of $0.0000377 at 02:00 UTC, but efforts to extend higher were met with pronounced resistance around the $0.000038 level. This price ceiling coincided with a significant surge in trading activity, with volume climbing above 2.66 trillion tokens, more than double the 24-hour average, according to CoinDesk's technical analysis data model.

That inflection point catalyzed a swift directional shift, leading to persistent selling throughout the day.

By 13:00 UTC, BONK had slipped to $0.000033, marking the day’s low. During this decline, token turnover reached 2.82 trillion, confirming elevated participation and heightened volatility. The most notable activity emerged during the 13:41–13:51 UTC window, when trading volume surged past 145 billion tokens over several minutes, signaling intense short-term repositioning by high-volume traders and institutions.

The move coincided with a broader pullback across the crypto asset class. Leading altcoins such as SOL, ADA, and DOGE also faced declining momentum as investors locked in gains from earlier rallies.

Technical resistance across major benchmarks, including ETH and BTC, contributed to sector-wide rebalancing—particularly among high-beta assets like BONK, which had previously outperformed. This retracement phase appears to reflect a temporary market cooldown rather than a fundamental shift in sentiment.

Technical Analysis

  • Price dropped 4% from $0.000035 to $0.000033 between July 22 and July 23.
  • Intraday trading range spanned $0.000014.
  • Resistance formed at $0.000038 with 2.66 trillion tokens traded at peak.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Circle’s biggest bear just threw in the towel, but warns the stock is still a crypto roller coaster

Circle’s rising correlation with ether and DeFi exposure drives the re-rating, despite valuation and competition concerns.

What to know:

  • Compass Point’s Ed Engel upgraded Circle (CRCL) to Neutral from Sell and cut his price target to $60, arguing the stock now trades more as a proxy for crypto markets than as a standalone fintech.
  • Engel notes that CRCL’s performance is increasingly tied to the ether and broader crypto cycles, with more than 75% of USDC supply used in DeFi or on exchanges, and the stock is still trading at a rich premium.
  • Potential catalysts such as the CLARITY Act and tokenization of U.S. assets could support USDC growth, but Circle faces mounting competition from new stablecoins and bank-issued “deposit coins,” and its revenue may remain closely linked to speculative crypto activity for years.
