BONK Sinks 12% as Meme Token Sector Faces Heavy Sell-Off
BONK experienced a steep 12% drawdown over the last 24 hours, declining from $0.0000317 to $0.0000276, while the broader CoinDesk Memecoin Index fell more than 8%. The price action unfolded within a broad $0.0000045 range, an intraday volatility of over 16%, with coordinated selling around the $0.0000322 level, where transaction volume surged to 1.03 trillion tokens, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model. The most severe downward movement was observed at 20:00 UTC on Tuesday, with BONK dropping precipitously on a single-hour volume spike of 2.59 trillion tokens. The selloff could be linked to traders pre-positioning ahead of the Federal Reserve's upcoming FOMC announcement. While technical support began forming around $0.0000280, sellers regained control, sending the token from $0.00002848 to $0.00002809, a 1.37% drop. Particularly notable was a five-minute interval from 10:47 to 10:52 UTC on July 30, when BONK fell 3.13% with over 60.6 billion tokens traded, underscoring the presence of aggressive automated liquidation activity, according to the model. Technical Analysis Highlights Price Range: $0.0000322 (high) to $0.0000276 (low), reflecting 16% intraday volatility. Resistance: $0.0000322 observed with 1.03T tokens traded during coordinated sell wave. Support: Critical zone near $0.0000280 tested multiple times under institutional pressure. Peak Selling Hour: 20:00 UTC on July 29 with 2.59T tokens exchanged. Flash Sell-Off: 3.13% drop in five minutes (10:47–10:52 UTC) with 60.6 billion tokens traded. Volume Behavior: Persistent imbalance between sell-side execution and buy orders.

Can the S&P 500 Sustain a #HotStockSummer?
The stock market is starting to look a little like a double almond milk espresso: extra strong, with just a bit of froth on top. Or maybe a lot of froth, depending on your perspective. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 closed down 0.3%, snapping a remarkable streak of six straight closing highs through Monday — an unmatched stretch since 2021. The index is up nearly 28% since sinking to a low on April 8, as Liberation Day tariffs sparked widespread fears that a recession would soon follow. Clearly, that hasn't happened … yet, with summer bringing not just resilience, but exuberance, to the market. Has it been too much, though? READ ALSO: Bottom Line Undercuts Hot Quarter for Top-Line US GDP and Evercore's Purchase of Robey Warshaw May Birth Trans-Atlantic M&A Titan Retail Renaissance First: the warning signs, of which there are many. Meme stocks are back in full force, as evidenced by recent share price surges among the likes of Kohl's, Opendoor, and Krispy Kreme. Meanwhile, the so-called 'Buffett indicator' is blinking red, with the ratio of the market cap of all US publicly traded companies to the total US gross domestic product recently notching an all-time high at 212%. Also concerning: Investors are valuing stocks in the S&P 500 at more than 3.3 times their current sales, per Bloomberg data, also an all-time high. In fact, 'price to sales, price to cash flow, price to book, price to dividends, they're all near record levels,' Rob Arnott, founder of asset management group Research Affiliates, recently told the Financial Times. For more signs of market euphoria, look no further than — where else? — Barclays' 'equity euphoria' indicator, which is about double its typical levels. 'You're beginning to see, perhaps, some very early parallels to what you saw back with the internet boom in the late 90s, early 2000s,' Pimco Chief Investment Officer Dan Ivascyn told the FT. Optimists, on the other hand, say today's market can't be compared to the dot-com-era market, or any pre-pandemic market, thanks to the unstoppable rise of the retail investor, a crowd that may no longer operate like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys: In fact, according to a Barclays note recently seen by Reuters, retail investors have been the 'primary' driver of the current rally, investing more than $50 billion into equities in the past month. In fact, retail investors now account for about 20% of total trading volume in the US, about twice as high as pre-pandemic levels. Noting a possible retail-led structural change to the market, Scott Rubner, the head of equity and equity derivatives strategy at Citadel Securities, recently wrote in a note to clients seen by Bloomberg that he expects solid performance on the S&P 500 through Labor Day. A recent Goldman Sachs note, meanwhile, highlighted how spikes in speculative trading actually precede abnormally high returns on a one-year horizon. Data Dump: Still ahead this week is an absolute flood of possibly market-moving data. Today, the Fed will announce whether it's slashing interest rates (Investors aren't betting on it; CME's FedWatch tool calculates a 97% chance of rates going unchanged). Today also brings the latest earnings report from Microsoft and Meta, followed by Apple and Amazon tomorrow, providing the Magnificent 7 another chance to dictate the market's momentum. Friday will bring another crucial jobs report. Looming over everything: a possible trade deal with China. US and Chinese officials concluded their third round of negotiations Tuesday, with no agreement yet. The current trade truce is set to expire on August 12.
