Key Takeaways
Another Solana-based memecoin is making headlines today after one trader made a small fortune in a single trade. According to Lookonchain , a trader turned an investment of 12 Solana (SOL) tokens, worth about $1,360, worth of the PONKE memecoin into more than $2.3 million. This was achieved through purchasing 5.21 million PONKE tokens December 24, last year. The value of these tokens soared during a crypto, which saw an increase of over $200 billion in the overall crypto market cap.
PONKE reached its all-time high of nearly $0.50 on May 20 and retested it the next day. It fell by 11% and is now (May 22 2024) being traded at $0.42.
The price of PONKE started its last uptrend on May 13 at $0.15. In a five-wave manner, it increased 216% to its all-time high of $0.48. This indicates the completion of the uptrend, in conjunction with the subsequent 25% drop to $0.36 on May 21.
However, the price rose again, revisiting its all-time high vicinity, but showed signs of struggle. It fell by another 11% but quickly recovered, now trading at $0.44. Even though it is still above the ascending support, there are signs of a further downfall.
The RSI reached 85% on May 18 and has been in a downtrend. The rising price formed a bearish divergence, hinting at a potential reversal. The daily chart MACD also flashed a bearish sign, forming a death cross on May 21.
It appears PONKE is ready for a downtrend, forming a double top before a breakout below the ascending support, which will confirm its beginning. If this happens, we will be looking at $0.35 for a potential target, a 0.382 Fibonacci retracement.
However, this could be as a corrective fourth wave out of a larger five-wave impulse. This, in turn, would mean PONKE would have the potential to rise to a new all-time high. The target may vary depending on the depth of the expected downturn and the momentum of the following upturn.
But exceeding the all-time high would mean the price is eyeing values above $0.50, with $0.55 looking not far off.
