At press time, BONK has a bearish market structure on the 12-hour chart. BONK has traded within a range that extended from $0.00000944 to $0.0000171 over the past six weeks.
The RSI was below neutral 50 and has been that way since mid-January. This highlighted bearish momentum and a downtrend in progress, and agreed with the market structure.
The OBV began to descend slowly over the past ten days to underline increased selling volume.
The mid-range resistance at $0.0000126 rebuffed the bulls on the 28th of January. At press time, BONK was close to the range lows.
However, buyers would need to be wary of liquidity hunts below the range lows and manage risk and stop-loss orders accordingly.
A drop below $0.0000075 would indicate a strong downtrend was likely, with the next target being the $0.0000048 support level.
