Bonk (BONK) price extends its gains on Monday after surging more than 100% last week and reaching a new all-time high on Sunday. This rally was fueled by the announcement on Friday that BONK would burn 1 trillion tokens by Christmas. 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.

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.
