BONK Slides 6% to Test Key Support

Memecoin's make-or-break moment arrives as bears take control.

BONK—the Solana-based dogcoin that had traders barking earlier this year—just got mauled by a 6% selloff. The drop tests critical support levels last seen during July's liquidity crunch.

Blood in the water or buying opportunity?

Technical traders are glued to charts as BONK flirts with its 200-day moving average. A breakdown here could trigger stop-loss cascades—just what degenerate gamblers (sorry, "investors") need after this week's futures liquidations.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are howling with laughter. Again.
