BONK is a cryptocurrency launched on Christmas Day, 2022. It is inspired by internet memes, jokes, and satire. Memecoins are always known for fluctuating prices instantly.
The announcement from the renowned exchange came after the price drop noted by the token as visible through the market charts. Although crypto experts are keeping an eye on its price, the announcement will gain traction.
BONK Price
The hype of BONK has started fading as its price is decreasing. This memecoin is declining continuously from last week.
BONK has fallen in the last seven days losing approximately 30% of its value. This fall in price is shown after the uptick in demand in the last month which has pushed the token to an all-time high at the price of $0.00003419 on December 15, 2023. By then, the price of BONK had climbed by over 500% in the preceding month.
The memecoin after reaching a high shows a price decline. As per the data from CoinMarketCap, its price has fallen by 44% since 15the December.
The recent surge has caught increased attention towards this dog-themed meme coin on Solana. It was launched in December 2022 and over the past 30 days surged over 300% and scored a 1,000% gain since the start of September. That makes it the best-performing meme coin in recent months. But now, it is underperforming from last week. It is nearly 30% down.
Spot traders have noted a decline in trading volume. The Key momentum indicators have trended downward since 14 December, which suggests a steep fall in demand for the meme coin.
The value of the BONK Accumulation Distribution Line (ADL) has dropped by 38%. The ADL measures the supply and the demand of assets and does this by confirming whether traders are involved in buying and selling the asset or not.
