BONK Slides 6% to Test Key Support

$BONK fell nearly 6% in the last 24 hours, dropping from $0.00002606 to $0.00002436 in a move that carved out a $0.0000028 range, roughly 10% of its trading spectrum.

The decline accelerated after the token failed to hold gains near $0.000027 on Aug. 11, where volume spiked to 1.13 trillion tokens, well above the 24-hour average of 708 billion, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Selling pressure persisted into the morning of August 12, with $BONK finding firm support around $0.000024 at 10:00 UTC on 889 billion tokens traded.

$BONK did see a bounce at the start of U.S. morning, when buyers stepped in and pushed the price up 3% to $0.000025.

The rebound signaled possible short-term stabilization after the extended drawdown, forming $0.000024 as a key support to avoiding further downside.

The volatility comes the day after Nasdaq-listed Safety Shot disclosed a $25 million corporate treasury purchase linked to $BONK ecosystem development through its stake in the Bonk.fun launchpad — a move viewed by some analysts as a sign of increasing mainstream exposure for the meme coin sector.
