BONK Runs Out Of Steam After Near 50% Dump from ATH

The price of Solana-based memecoin BONK has dropped nearly 50% from its all-time high, raising fears the party may now be over.

Solana-based project BONK has been one of the most widely sought cryptocurrencies in the past month and unsurprisingly topped the list for most gains within the period under consideration.

The token’s rapid rise earned it a listing on popular trading venues such as Binance and Coinbase, with total gains from all-time lows soaring as high as +19,514.09%.

However, BONK has struggled since reaching its all-time high of $0.00003419 on December 15. The cryptocurrency is currently trading at $0.00001811, representing a 47% decline from its mid-December highs.

The eye-catching decline has led many to wonder whether the show is already over for BONK. The fears are further exacerbated by slow-moving cryptocurrency market conditions in the past week.

Bitcoin has struggled to hold its place above the $43,000 mark, while the global market capitalization has remained relatively flat.

The End of the Road for Bonk?

While no one can accurately predict the future, the recent decline in the price of BONK could pave the way for a deciding moment for the asset’s future price.

Such a substantial price drop can easily turn into a downward spiral that sends the price into hard-to-recover-from levels. 

The second largest meme coin, Shiba Inu, is an example of a token that has faced a similar struggle. While SHIB has impressed in recent weeks, it remains 87.79% below its October 2021 all-time high.

Meanwhile, BONK’s decline could also pave the way for a new crop of holders who missed out on the initial run-up to build a position. However, there is no guarantee this would be favorable, and investors should conduct thorough research before jumping in.

In BONK’s case, the recent listing on Binance and Coinbase could help its course in the same way that Solana’s recent rise to stardom has impacted BONK’s price positively.

However, continued selling pressure could see investor confidence evaporate and potentially send the token into the ashes, where most meme coin-related projects end up after their classic moments.
