The rally from $0.0000092 to $0.000035 in mid-December was used to chart a series of Fibonacci retracement levels (light yellow).
The 78.6% level at $0.0000147 was expected to act as support, with the bullish breaker block just below it as an additional confluence.
Still, sellers have been strong this past week. The OBV saw only a small decline, but the RSI has dropped below the neutral 50 and retested it as resistance. This meant that momentum was firmly bearish.
The market structure on the 12-hour chart was also bearish. Therefore, BONK is likely to head south towards the $0.0000118 and $0.00000925 levels.
