In July, it spiked to $0.000040, bouncing back to its Q1 levels. With its RSI topping out, it created a classic reset setup.<\/p>\n<p>However, at a price level of $0.000020, BONK gave up 50% of its value in under a month. In fact, it hit its fourth lower low, keeping the market structure bearish with no meaningful accumulation and invalidating the reset thesis.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BONKUSDT_2025-08-19_18-10-49.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-520098\" class=\"wp-image-520098 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"BONK\" width=\"1824\" height=\"838\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/BONKUSDT_2025-08-19_18-10-49.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-520098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView (BONK\/USDT)<\/p>\n<p>To put it simply, BONK\u2019s monthly dip doesn\u2019t look like a \u201cbuy the dip\u201d setup. Instead, it could allude to waning investor conviction, despite the world\u2019s largest memecoin <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/predictions\/dogecoin-price-prediction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Dogecoin [DOGE]<\/a> up by 4% in a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means that BONK\u2019s pullback isn\u2019t just a technical blip, but a shift in sentiment. Put simply, FOMO is turning into profit-taking as holders dump into thin bullish pressure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, what\u2019s driving this shift? Well, according to AMBCrypto, it looks like devs are aware and pursuing a strategic fix to address the liquidity drain.<\/p>\n<p>BONK slides as Pump.fun reclaims dominance<\/p>\n<p>After a year of BONK_fun dominance, Pump.fun is clawing back control.<\/p>\n<p>On 6 August, Pump.fun led on the 24-hour trading volume front, hitting $100.7 million compared to BONK_fun\u2019s $70.6 million. In fact, on the same day, Pump.fun launched 16,000 tokens, surpassing BONK_fun\u2019s 11,400.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a $33 million <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/pumpdotfun\/status\/1955337501201072472\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">PUMP buyback<\/a> sparked a 20% token pop. The result? Pump.fun now dominates 90% of Solana\u2019s memecoin launchpad volume. On the contrary, Bonk_fun slipped to fourth with just 0.74% market share.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GynvpxFWoAAb_Dl.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-520128\" class=\"wp-image-520128 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Pump\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1062\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GynvpxFWoAAb_Dl.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-520128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: SolanaFloor<\/p>\n<p>Traders are rotating back to Pump.fun for token drops, snapping Bonk_fun\u2019s long streak.
