BONK, the Solana-based meme coin, has been making headlines with its extraordinary performance since listing on the largest South Korean cryptocurrency platform, Upbit.

The trading volume of the token increased by 77%, indicating significant individual and institutional interest. Such frenzy ensured that the memecoin became the number one meme coin within the Solana network. Nevertheless, the accompanying positive sentiments (and anxieties) will lead investors to ask whether BONK will be able to keep the pace considering the historical volatility of the market. 신규 디지털 자산 봉크(BONK) 거래지원 안내 ✅ 지원 마켓: KRW 마켓 📅 거래지원 개시 시점: 2024-11-20 12:30 예정 🔗 공지 바로가기:https://t.co/r2DhwVlJcO#Upbit #BONK pic.twitter.com/vSTAAG5cLv — Upbit Korea (@Official_Upbit) November 20, 2024 Whales Join The BONK Party Institutional investors see BONK’s promise. A recent whale transaction shows the increasing faith in this meme coin: 65.4 billion BONK tokens for $3.4 million in USDC were bought. Such big sales not only confirm BONK’s popularity but also show how it affects Solana’s bigger ecology. The rise of the token has drawn more than just whales. Blockchain data shows that the amount of people interested in BONK futures topped $53.5 million, which is around seven times the monthly low. This means that traders are betting on BONK’s rising trend, even though such assets come with risks. Technical Breakthrough Fuels Optimism The recent end of BONK’s long-term consolidation period offers traders a hopeful signal. Experts say the major causes driving the meme coin’s rise are aggressive trading and increasing buying pressure. BONK temporarily exceeded joke currencies like DogWife when its price shot to $0.00005916 for a fresh ATH. At the time of writing, BONK was trading at $0.00005364, up 67% in the last seven days, data from Bitstamp shows. Nonetheless, analytical tools suggest that the buying pressure in the market is reaching its limits. This, however, may lead to some temporary downward movement, but experts are still positive on BONK coming back after a certain period. Although the token has retraced to $0.00005684, this hasn’t dampened the community enthusiasm.

The buzz around BONK has refocused attention on Solana, attracting fresh users and so strengthening its reputation as a top blockchain platform. At the same time, the prospect appears to be very optimistic, showing an increase of 252% in price expectations during the next three months, and a further 185% increase in six months. While the thrill of speculation is there, veteran traders ring in their warning. As BONK rides this wave, it’s clear the memecoin is no longer just a joke—it’s a phenomenon reshaping the crypto landscape. Featured image from SCMP, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high yesterday, surging to $94,000 and solidifying the bulls’ control over the market. This milestone has ignited widespread speculation about the key factors fueling the rally, as Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines and capture investor enthusiasm.  Related Reading: Solana Analyst Expects A Retrace Before It Breaks ATH – Targets Revealed Key insights from CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju shed light on the drivers of this historic surge. According to Ju, this rally has been powered by Coinbase investors, with U.S.-based buyers playing a significant role. The influx of demand from these investors underscores the growing domestic interest in Bitcoin and highlights the critical influence of American market participants on global crypto trends. Adding to the excitement, market sentiment appears to be heavily influenced by the pro-crypto stance of President-elect Donald Trump. His support for digital assets has sparked optimism across the industry, potentially creating a favorable regulatory environment that could sustain Bitcoin’s growth. Bitcoin Demand Continues To Drive The Price  Bitcoin demand remains remarkably strong, even as miners and long-term holders (LTHs) take profits during this rally. Despite selling pressure from these groups, BTC continues to rise, underscoring the robust market appetite for the leading cryptocurrency. This strength suggests buyers readily absorb the distributed supply, fueling Bitcoin’s bullish momentum. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently shared insightful data on X that highlights the driving forces behind this rally. According to Ju, U.S.-based investors using Coinbase have played a pivotal role in Bitcoin’s surge. He referenced the BTC Hourly Coinbase Premium (Volume-Weighted, USDT/USD Adjusted), which measures the difference in Bitcoin prices on Coinbase compared to other exchanges.  The premium is currently positive and growing, indicating that U.S. investors are willing to pay more for BTC than their international counterparts. This trend demonstrates strong demand from U.S. market participants, likely buoyed by improving market sentiment and potential regulatory optimism.

However, as with all parabolic trends, traders and analysts remain cautious, recognizing the possibility of eventual pullbacks. The focus remains on Bitcoin’s strength, as buyers continue to outpace sellers, driving the market higher. BTC Setting New Highs (Again)  Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $93,300, following its recent break above the all-time high (ATH) of $93,483. While this move marked a new milestone for BTC, the price has since entered a sideways range within a defined uptrend, indicating that demand continues to outweigh supply. However, the breakout above the ATH lacked significant momentum, resembling more of a small spring than a decisive rally. This suggests that bulls might be starting to lose steam. Despite this, BTC’s ability to maintain above $89,800 in the coming hours will be critical. Holding this key support level could pave the way for a surge to $95,000, aligning with broader market expectations of continued bullish momentum. Such a move would likely reaffirm confidence among investors, potentially driving further buying interest as Bitcoin eyes the psychological $100,000 level.

This scenario could lead to a retrace toward lower demand zones around $85,000, where buyers might regroup to push prices higher again. As BTC consolidates near its ATH, the market awaits a decisive move to determine whether the bulls remain firmly in control or if a temporary correction is on the horizon.
