- BONK is up 52% at press time since its April 19 low.
- The rebound may have been driven almost entirely by the futures market.
BONK showed an upward trend on lower time frames and its momentum was strong once again. A recent AMBCrypto report highlighted how the social sentiment behind memecoin has improved.

Higher term structures have remained bullish for BONK since the rally in late February. In recent weeks, BONK’s internal structure has remained weak even after the recent bounce brought the price back above the 78.6% retracement level of $0.00001885.
The simple moving average should act as support for memecoin with the demand area highlighted in turquoise. H12 RSI has moved back above the neutral 50 level to highlight the bullish momentum.

Realistic or not, the market capitalization of BONK in BTC terms is as follows:
Additionally, short positions liquidated during the rebound were noticeably high. Taken together, OI and clearing suggest that the recent price rebound is likely driven by futures markets rather than spot demand.
Therefore, a bullish recovery may be more difficult in the future.
