From July 15 at 11:00 UTC through July 16 at 10:00 UTC, BONK appreciated by 15.08%, climbing from $0.00002824 to $0.00003253 before peaking at $0.00003309.

The Solana-based memecoin posted a sequence of higher highs and higher lows, punching through resistance at $0.000030000 and $0.000032000 as traders rotated into high-volatility assets, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

The move coincided with BONK’s inclusion on Grayscale’s institutional surveillance list, a milestone that further legitimizes the memecoin in the eyes of broader market participants.

Technically, BONK’s momentum remained strong even during volatile periods.

New short-term support has formed at $0.00003295.

With sentiment improving across the altcoin landscape and BONK showing both volume and price leadership, the token now appears poised to challenge the $0.000035000 level – a psychological barrier that could open room for further upside if the broader rally continues.
