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.

Additionally, on-chain data shows that World Liberty swapped 5,252 ETH, worth 17.43M, for stETH, and later staked it with Lido Finance. Over the past three days, the fund has invested a total of $168.4M in six tokens.

Justin Sun Celebrates the Development
Tron founder Justin Sun celebrated this development while making big investment promises moving ahead. In his message on the X platform, Sun noted:
“Bought again! TRON has now become the 3rd largest asset held by World Liberty Financial, the president’s crypto project, with a current holding of $7.3 million TRX”.
Furthermore, Sun made big investment promises while commenting on Eric Trump’s post. Earlier today, Eric Trump noted that there’s no better time to invest in the United States and invest across sectors like technology, innovation, and crypto. Responding to this Sun said:
“Fully agreed! We have an outstanding plan that will bring over $200 billion worth of business to the United States. This will be massive and meaningful!”
Tron founder Justin Sun is himself one of the early investors in World Liberty Financial. Earlier this week, he expanded his investments into the DeFi project by acquiring WLFI tokens and taking total investments to $75 million.
TRX Price to Rally 100% From Here?

Notably, as nearly 80 million DOGE was accumulated by a whale, market sentiments of a looming price rally for the token have surfaced globally. Moreover, a top crypto analyst has further revealed a $15 price target for the dog-themed meme token, the accumulation has gained additional traction.
Dogecoin Whale Bags 80M Tokens Igniting Optimism
According to the latest data by Whale Alert, a Dogecoin whale purchased 78.57M coins from Binance. As per the data, the address D5nuZhL.. made the purchase worth $29.86 million.
Primarily, the accumulation right ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony underscores market sentiments of bolstered prices ahead, attributable to the pro-crypto Republican’s win. Further, it’s also worth mentioning that Dogecoin-backer and American billionaire Elon Musk is set to begin his D.O.G.E. role under Trump’s presidency.
Overall, the whale’s accumulation in light of these events has supported investor sentiments of price gains ahead. It’s also noteworthy that CoinGape previously reported DOGE whale activity is rising, adding to optimism surrounding future movements.
DOGE Price Shot Up 20% In a Week
At the time of reporting, DOGE price illustrated a highly turbulent action, ultimately soaring by 2% to $0.3772. The coin’s intraday low and high were $0.3472 and $0.3983, respectively.
Further, the weekly chart for the asset showcased gains worth 20%. Altogether, the broader rising movement, supported by whale buying, has solidified investors’ bullishness on future movements. The top meme coin is expected to hit a new all-time high soon.

Simultaneously, renowned crypto market analyst Ali Martinez has recently predicted a $15 target price for Dogecoin, sparking market discussions as the even whale data aligned with bullish projections.

The Official Trump meme coin has bounced back strongly after forming a bottom at $32 with the TRUMP price up 20% at press time moving past $41. This surge comes amid developments of fresh TRUMP ETF filings with the US SEC on Tuesday. Interestingly, Donald Trump has commented on his meme coin frenzy, which led to strong volatility for the Solana meme coin.
TRUMP Price Breakout Sets $54 Target
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported that TRUMP token has successfully broken out of a falling wedge pattern, a bullish technical indicator. According to Martinez, the token’s breakout positions it for a potential surge, with a TRUMP price target of $54.
According to Coinglass data, the TRUMP futures open interest is up 14%, shooting past $1.0 billion, indicating bullish sentiment among traders. Also, the 24-hour liquidations have shot to $24 million, of which $14 million is in short liquidations.
Additionally, blockchain analytics firm Santiment reported that TRUMP is still the top trending crypto coin discussed among investors, following its contentious listing on Coinbase. In addition to its market activity, TRUMP has drawn significant attention due to its airdrop events. A recent airdrop distributed $1 million worth of TRUMP tokens, fueling heightened interest and engagement from the crypto community.
TRUMP Price Surge Amid ETF Filings
Another reason behind the TRUMP price surge today is the recent ETF filings for the newly launched meme coin. On Tuesday, REX Financial and Osprey Funds submitted their filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a potential TRUMP ETF.
Interestingly, this filing comes just three days after the launch of the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin. It also outlines REX-Osprey’s plans to introduce a range of crypto-focused funds. In addition to TRUMP ETF, Rex also submitted ETF filings for other meme coins like Dogecoin and BONK.
Donald Trump Comments Stir Volatility
When asked about the TRUMP meme coin launch during yesterday’s press briefing to reports, the President said: “I don’t know much about it other than I launched it. I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked.”
During a press briefing, a reporter noted that the TRUMP price surge generated several billion dollars in the past few days. In response, the president quipped, “Several billion? That’s peanuts for these guys,” gesturing toward SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison, who were present in the room.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s comments instantly triggered sharp volatility in the meme coin. Soon after the US President made his comments at 6:00 PM ET, three minutes later, the TRUMP coin experienced a sharp 33% drop in value.
Buy-The-Dip Strategy Fuels Discussions
Notably, a wallet seized the opportunity, purchasing $5.09 million worth of the token at the exact bottom of the dip. This transaction marks one of the largest single purchases since the coin’s launch, reported The Kobeissi Letter.
The market quickly rebounded, and within 14 minutes, the trader’s investment had already gained $2.4 million in value. The timing of the purchase has raised doubts about whether it’s an insider job.
As Donald Trump takes charge at the White House, Wall Street heavyweights anticipate that Trump’s crypto policies will simplify investment pathways, creating opportunities for major players like JPMorgan and BlackRock Inc.
