Meme Coin Trader Says BONK Is Headed For New ATH, Here’s Why
Meme coin trader Unipcs (Bonk Guy) has predicted that BONK will soon hit a new all-time high (ATH). The crypto further outlined several reasons why the Solana meme coin is about to blast through ATHs again.
Why BONK Is About To Reach A New ATH
In an X post, the meme coin trader said that BONK is about to blast through all-time highs again. He mentioned reasons why this would happen, including the fact that the meme coin has more volume than Solana on Coinbase, which indicates massive interest in BONK among crypto investors.
Bonk Guy further mentioned that BONK trades more volume on Coinbase than the other top meme coins, PEPE, Shiba Inu, and Dogwifhat combined. Meanwhile, the meme coin trader is on track to burn 1 trillion BONK tokens, which are currently worth around $55 million, by Christmas through its ‘Lets BONK’ campaign.
Another factor that Bonk Guy believes will lead to these new highs for BONK is a Robinhood listing, which he believes could happen anytime soon. The crypto exchange recently listed PEPE and could have BONK on its roadmap next. A Robinhood listing is bullish for the price since the listing will boost BONK’s adoption and lead to higher prices.
BONK also has an exchange-traded product (ETP) that the meme coin trader stated is getting primed for some “serious” institutional adoption based on what he has heard. This is also bullish for the BONK price since institutional adoption would drive massive inflows into the meme coin, leading to higher prices.
In line with this, the meme coin trader said that BONK has clear fundamentals and seems to have been chosen by American retail as their main meme coin for this cycle. Bonk Guy remarked that things should get super interesting for BONK soon enough. It is worth mentioning that the South Korean exchange Upbit is set to list BONK. Speaking on this development, the meme coin trader stated that BONK could be the favorite new meme coin among Korean normies.
Next Leg Up Is Imminent
In an X post, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa said that BONK is loading for the next move. The analyst advised investors to just buy spot and be patient for the next leg up. The accompanying chart suggested that the Solana meme coin is set to blast through its ATH and reach new highs.
Crypto whales look to be positioning for this BONK price explosion. In an X post, the on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed a smart whale that is actively accumulating BONK. Onchain data shows this whale has spent $3.4 million to buy 65.4 billion BONK over the last two days.
At the time of writing, BONK is trading at around $0.00005524, up over 10% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin and the overall altcoin market have registered strong comeback after an early sell-off on Monday. This recovery comes amid growing euphoria around the Donald Trump inauguration as well as strong demand for TRUMP meme coins. However, investors are likely to undertake a cautious stand with Bank of Japan’s rate hike decision.
Bitcoin and Altcoins Subject to Macro Developments
Bitcoin price has seen massive volatility in the last 24 hours, falling under $100K levels, and then forming a 10% god candle to an all-time high around $110K. The euphoria around the launch of TRUMP meme coins supported by Donald Trump inauguration on Monday has been the cause of volatility. Crypto market analyst Rekt Capital stated that Bitcoin needs a weekly close above $104,740 to confirm fresh all-time highs moving ahead.
Commenting on his chart further, the analyst added: “A Weekly Close below red and it’s possible BTC could pullback again, however likely for a shallower retrace compared to the one of mid-December 2024”.
Furthermore, macro developments like dropping core CPI and strong US jobs data have also contributed to the rally. Investors will now be closely watching the Bank of Japan’s interest rate decision this Friday, as it plans to take rates to a 17-year high. Following today’s breakout, technical charts suggest that Bitcoin price rally to $158,000 is still in play.

Altcoins Market Sees Strong Recovery
The overall crypto market liquidations have soared to $1.24 billion of which Bitcoin liquidations are just $204 million, as per the Coinglass data. Thus, the altcoin space is facing even deeper correction with the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coin launch.
The Ethereum price is up 8% today after Donald Trump’s DeFi project World Liberty Financial purchased a large number of ETH coins in the last 24 hours. The good this is that the altcoin season index is showing signs of recovery jumping above 50 once again.
Popular crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe remains bullish on altcoins. He said:
“A tremendous weekend with TRUMP and a cascade on the altcoins. I expect that we’ll see strength on ETH, LINK, AAVE and a lot of altcoins in the coming week as Yields are going down and the $DXY becomes weaker. Great times are ahead of us”.
Will Bank of Japan Play the Spoilsport?
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is anticipated to raise interest rates on Friday, to the highest levels in 17 years after the 2008 financial crisis. This potential rate hike would signal the central bank’s commitment to gradually increasing rates, currently at 0.25%, towards a target of around 1%.
During its two-day meeting concluding on Friday, the BOJ is expected to lift its short-term policy rate to 0.5%. If implemented, this would mark the first rate hike since July of last year, a move that, combined with weak U.S. jobs data at the time, led to significant market turbulence in early August.
However, this time the US jobs data has shown strength along will falling core CPI. Thus, any major upheaval in Bitcoin and altcoins is unlikely moving ahead, is unlikely.

The crypto community’s focus is still on the prolonged XRP lawsuit despite the buzz surrounding Donald Trump’s TRUMP memecoin launch. With Trump’s inauguration and SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation, the XRPArmy anticipates an imminent resolution in the Ripple vs SEC case.
However, legal experts such as Securities attorney Marc Fagel warn about the Ripple vs SEC case’s unpredictable nature, predicting a possible 10-month delay. The controversy surrounding Trump’s token launch has reignited the discussion on the much-awaited XRP lawsuit settlement.
Securities Lawyer Predicts 10-Month Delay in Ripple vs SEC Case
In an X post, Marc Fagel emphasized the uncertain nature of the Ripple vs SEC case, positing that the case could be further prolonged to 10 months. He has also commented on the possibility of a sooner settlement under the Trump government if the new SEC Chair Paul Atkins opts to drop the appeal.
The discussion began with Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett’s post on Trump’s TRUMP token. While Eric Trump hailed the TRUMP coin as the “hottest digital meme on earth,” Fagel dismissed it as a “pyramid scheme.”
🚨NEW: @EricTrump has officially commented on the launch of the $TRUMP token, calling it “the hottest digital meme on earth.”
It’s real. https://t.co/iAXrFwcnjh

The conversation quickly escalated into a debate about hot topics, including the Ripple vs SEC case, Elon Musk’s ongoing battle with the SEC, and the broader implications of crypto regulations. Marc Fagel wrote,
Ripple broke the law, as a federal court confirmed. Musk, previously charged with securities fraud and thus a repeat offender, seems to have pretty clearly broken the law. But I guess we just give billionaires and well-financed companies a pass.
How Trump’s Memecoin Will Impact XRP Lawsuit?
Following the recent memecoin frenzy triggered by the TRUMP token, XRP lawyers are closely examining the potential outcome of the XRP lawsuit. For instance, attorney Bill Morgan raised concerns over the memecoin’s impact, urging Congress to adopt clearer crypto guidelines. At the same time, pro-XRP advocate John Deaton emphasized his preference for memecoin regulations over other concerns like SAB 121, CFTC oversight, and tax reform.
Ripple Lawsuit’s Broader Impact on Crypto Market
The Ripple vs SEC case conclusion could have a broader impact on the crypto market, especially in the regulatory landscape. Ripple’s win over the SEC could establish a legal precedent for other cryptocurrencies, clarifying digital assets as non-securities. However, if Ripple loses to the SEC, it could usher in a stricter regulatory environment, posing significant challenges for cryptocurrencies.

The Dogecoin network has seen a significant surge in activity following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. Although this surge in activity cuts across the entire industry, on-chain data has revealed interesting dynamics among Dogecoin holders. These developments were brought into focus by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who, using data from the analytics platform Santiment, highlighted a remarkable surge in high-value transactions on the Dogecoin network. According to Martinez, Dogecoin recorded an impressive 588 transactions exceeding $1 million within the last 24 hours.
Dogecoin Renewed Interest From Million-Dollar Transactions
The recent surge in large-scale Dogecoin transactions suggests the possibility of a significant upswing, as this activity typically indicates a liquidity bottom that initiates upward momentum. Historically, a rise in high-value transactions is associated with renewed investor confidence, especially when market sentiment shifts toward bullish trends.
In Dogecoin’s case, the transactions in question are not just sizable but exceptionally significant, with each exceeding $1 million. What makes this surge even more compelling is the timing, as it coincides with the bullish sentiment surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration. Therefore, the current increase in transactions appears more indicative of accumulation rather than sell-offs or profit-taking.
The entire crypto market is currently in a bullish phase, with smart money entering early in anticipation of a pro-crypto environment under the new Donald Trump administration. This further lends credibility to the idea that these transactions could be more of accumulations than selloffs. Even if some of the activity includes sell-offs, the prevailing bullish sentiment suggests that such events may be brief, quickly absorbed by the market’s positive momentum.
Dogecoin is gaining momentum on social media, garnering over 500,000 mentions on platform X within the last 24 hours. This is due to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, sharing the same acronym as Dogecoin’s ticker (DOGE), which has contributed to significant enthusiasm. Heightened visibility on social media often translates into increased retail participation, which could create a combined effect with whale activity to drive the price higher.
DOGE Price Analysis: A New Multi-Year Bullish Pattern
In another technical analysis, Martinez noted that DOGE is trading within a multi-year ascending parallel channel on the weekly candlestick timeframe. The ongoing bull market gained momentum after Dogecoin rebounded off the lower trendline of the channel in late 2023, and the meme coin has been trading in an upward direction since then. The sustained climb along this channel suggests that DOGE could maintain its bullish trajectory over the longer timeframe.
In terms of a price target, the chart pattern projects a bullish target of $15 at the upper trendline of the ascending parallel channel. At the time of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.343, meaning that reaching this target would represent an extraordinary 4,273% increase from its current price level.
