- BONK was approaching a key demand zone that could decide its next directional move.
- Market sentiment leaned bearish, reducing the chances of a sustainable rally.
Bonk [BONK] recorded one of the major market losses in the past 24 hours, having declined by 8.67%, intensifying its past week’s loss.
This movement on the chart contrasts with its overall monthly performance, where the price rose by 41%.
Analysis shows that this isn’t the end of BONK’s decline. While one bullish factor remains, several bearish indicators point to further downside.
Will BONK find a catalyst below?
At the time of writing, BONK was moving toward a major demand zone on the chart. Demand zones are often linked to acting as catalysts for a potential price jump once the price trades into them.
This level lies between $0.00001546 and $0.00001405, likely an area where significant buy orders are placed. If the demand level finds sufficient catalyst, then it is likely to trend upward.
However, if this level fails to hold, then BONK will likely plunge to lower levels.

According to AMBCrypto’s analysis, the next levels of interest lie at $0.00001178, $0.00001043, and $0.00000888—each a possible support if the decline extends.
More market metrics lean toward the bearish end than the bullish side of the market.
Analysis of the Liquidation Heatmap confirmed that BONK was hovering near dense lower-level liquidity clusters, specifically between $0.000016 and $0.00001448.

While this confirms that BONK will trade into the demand zone, it doesn’t provide enough context on whether the rally will continue or if a deeper drop is incoming.
Will market momentum be sustainable?
Market momentum shows that BONK is heavily bearish and could break down from the demand level.
One important metric indicating high bearish momentum is the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio. This ratio compares the volume of long and short traders in the market.
The segment with higher volume tends to indicate which side the market currently favors.

At the time of writing, 54.18% of traders were short, while only 45.82% held long positions. The ratio stood at 0.8457, tilting the market sentiment toward sellers.
Interestingly, liquidation data in the market showed that $1,990 worth of short positions were forcefully closed, while $205,000 worth of long positions were liquidated.
This high disparity in liquidation—over 100x—implies that more long traders have been flushed from the market. Scenarios such as this occur when the market is heavily bearish.
BONK’s rally hinges on one more factor
There is a possibility that BONK won’t drop below the demand level marked on the chart. This possibility arises due to spot market traders actively purchasing BONK.
At press time, BONK recorded $2.55 million in daily spot purchases. In fact, $18.63 million worth of BONK was bought in the past week alone.

This marks the highest weekly purchase recorded between the 27th of January and the 3rd of February.
If this buying activity continues, particularly as BONK trades into the demand zone, then the asset could see a stronger bullish confluence that might push the price forward.
