Bonk’s trading volume has reached its highest level since its launch in December 2022, while the technical outlook projects more gains toward a new high in the upcoming weeks.

Another aspect bolstering the platform’s bullish outlook is a recent surge in traders’ interest and liquidity in the Bonk meme coin. Santiment data shows that BONK’s daily trading volume rose sharply from 1.57 billion on Saturday to 2.67 billion on Sunday, the highest level since its launch in December 2022.

Bonk Price Forecast: Towards new all-time high
Bonk price surged more than 100% last week and hit a new all-time high of $0.000056 on Sunday and retreated afterward. As of this week, it trades slightly higher around $0.000053.
If Bonk continues its upward momentum, it may set the stage for a potential move towards a fresh all-time high at $0.000062, which aligns with the 161.80% Fibonacci extension level drawn from May’s high of $0.000044 to September’s low of $0.000015.
However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator on the weekly chart trades at 71, above its overbought level of 70, signaling an increasing risk of a correction. Traders should exercise caution when adding to their long positions, as the RSI’s move out of the overbought territory could provide a clear sign of a pullback. Another possibility is that the RSI will remain above the overbought level and continue the upward momentum.
