The Bonk price plummeted 22% in the last 24 hours to trade for $0.00001206 as of 2:20 a.m. EST time, with trading volume jumping 64%.

The meme coin is built atop the Solana (SOL) blockchain. This exposes it to the ups and downs that happen on the network. Accordingly, the Bonk price suffered by extension as malicious Solana-based decentralized applications (dApps) were exploited.

According to Web3 security firm Blockaid, there has been a recent trend where users fall victim to attacks by Solana-based drainers.

In the recent hours, we've noticed many users being attacked by Solana-based Drainers, with one prominent example being https://lessfeesndgas[.]org. This drainer managed to steal SPL tokens and SOL, amounting to 100K’s of $$. All Blockaid enables wallets remain secure from the… pic.twitter.com/lFuSBH4yMH

Among the dApps, is the website lessfeesndgas[.]org, which managed to steal tokens from the Solana Program Library (SPL). SPL enables the creation and management of tokens on Solana and SOL worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Citing Blockaid, “As Solana continues to gain popularity, drainer groups are increasingly moving towards it. This is indicated by the growing number of malicious Solana dApps detected by Blockaid.”

Nevertheless, Bonk Inu’s unique mix of amusing memes on the Solana network, utility, and community support seems to continue to be a value addition. This has seen BONK climb the ladder in the meme coin sector.

It has secured the third position after veterans Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) by market cap. Bonk dethroned Pepe coin (PEPE) from its apex position as the meme coin sensation and also kicked Floki Inu (FLOKI) to the curb.

Meme coins list by market capitalization

Besides suffering by extension of its association with Solana, Bonk price is also bearing the brunt of a dissipating meme coin fever. This is evidence as the top five meme coins (listed above) by market capitalization metrics are recording double-digit losses.

Bonk Price Prognosis Amid Dissipating Meme Coin Fever

After a 22% slump, Bonk is sitting on support due to the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $0.00001128. If this buyer congestion level breaks, the slump could extend, with Bonk price likely to test the 23.6% Fibonacci level at $0.00000821.

Converse Case

On the flip side, the Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator, which quantifies trend strength, shows that the downtrend could be bottoming out. For the layperson, a rising ADX line points to increasing trend strength, meaning the prevailing trend abounds. However, a falling ADX line shows that trend strength is decreasing and the price enters a retracement or consolidation period.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator accentuates the Bonk price bottoming out thesis. This momentum indicator has abandoned its previous southbound move in favor of the north to show momentum is rising.

Increased buying pressure above current levels could see Bonk price flip back above the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $0.00001337. A break and close above this level on the daily timeframe would rekindle hope for a move north.

It holds significance as it marked the invalidation level for the previous uptrend, seeing as it coincided with the foot of the god candle recorded on December 14.

However, for the prevailing bearish outlook to be invalidated, Bonk price must flip the critical Fibonacci level of 61.8% at $0.00002170 back to a support.

Such a move would set the pace for the meme coin to target the 78.6% Fibonacci level at $0.00002763, or in a highly bullish case fill the market range by reclaiming the $0.00003500 range high. Such a move would constitute a 193% climb above current levels.

Do not fret! While Bonk price waves off the meme coin fever, consider MK, one of analysts’ top choices for the best altcoins to invest in for maximum returns. The token also stands among the top five cryptocurrencies to buy in 2024.

Promising Alterative To Bonk Inu

MK is among the best meme coins to invest in and could register exponential gains, according to experts. It is the ticker for the Meme Kombat ecosystem, an innovative new gaming platform designed for gaming enthusiasts.
