BONK Sinks 12% as Meme Token Sector Faces Heavy Sell-Off
BONK experienced a steep 12% drawdown over the last 24 hours, declining from $0.0000317 to $0.0000276, while the broader CoinDesk Memecoin Index fell more than 8%.
The price action unfolded within a broad $0.0000045 range, an intraday volatility of over 16%, with coordinated selling around the $0.0000322 level, where transaction volume surged to 1.03 trillion tokens, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.
The most severe downward movement was observed at 20:00 UTC on Tuesday, with BONK dropping precipitously on a single-hour volume spike of 2.59 trillion tokens.
The selloff could be linked to traders pre-positioning ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming FOMC announcement.
While technical support began forming around $0.0000280, sellers regained control, sending the token from $0.00002848 to $0.00002809, a 1.37% drop.
Particularly notable was a five-minute interval from 10:47 to 10:52 UTC on July 30, when BONK fell 3.13% with over 60.6 billion tokens traded, underscoring the presence of aggressive automated liquidation activity, according to the model.
