Meme coin BONK’s price has risen 28% over the last two weeks, buoyed by a crypto buying frenzy that has driven market leader Bitcoin to new highs.
BONK managed to post $720,000 in overnight trading volume, according to CoinGecko.
Still, it wasn’t enough to keep the novelty cryptocurrency from sliding out of the top five meme coins by market capitalization.
BONK also fell from the 60th largest cryptocurrency by market cap this time last week to 63rd today.
Prices across the entire market have been pulling back over the last 24 hours.
BONK is currently one of the bigger casualties after posting the biggest intraday losses among the top 6 meme coins. BONK fell 15% overnight and currently trades for $0.00002966.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) dramatic pullback in the last 24 hours has made the market cautious. The number one cryptocurrency by market capitalization currently trades at $67,056, making for intraday losses of 7%.
Crypto has been doing well for most of the year-to-date off the back of hype around 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs the SEC approved for trading on January 10.
The ETFs have been doing well. So far they have collectively netted $12 billion, helping Bitcoin set a new all-time high of $73,737.94 yesterday.
On Tuesday, the ETFs took in $1 billion in inflows, with BlackRock’s accounting for the $848 million bulk of it, however the release that day of last month’s hot US inflation readings appear to have dampened enthusiasm for riskier assets.
Over on the trading chart we can see the late February/early March rally very clearly outlined by volatile peaks and troughs although BONK appears to find strong support at the $0.30 price range. A Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 38 indicates heavy selling that may continue to drive the price down in the near-term.
