Pseudonymous cryptocurrency trader Altcoin Sherpa sees Bonk BONK/USD as offering better potential upside compared to other meme coins, despite recent fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices.
What Happened: In his latest analysis on X, the highly-followed trader outlined the pros and cons of trading the popular meme coin. While acknowledging that Dogwifhat WIF/USD currently holds more attention than Bonk, Altcoin Sherpa highlighted reasons why Bonk could still yield positive results:
- Good liquidity.
- Potential for better upside compared to other meme coins due to lower attention.
- Maintains its former top Solana meme coin position, which could be reclaimed with certain catalysts.
However, he sees the following cons:
- Dogwifhat has taken over as the top meme coin on Solana SOL/USD.
- Uncertainty remains about Bonk reclaiming its top spot.
- The technical chart is not as clear, with better options available for swing trading (Dogwifhat) and long-term investments (Pepe)
Sherpa concludes that he expects to see some form of a longer-term bottom on the Pepe chart. However, he states he would not buy this particular meme coin.

Why It Matters: Bonk currently holds the sixth position on the meme coin board, with a valuation of $1.5 billion, positioning it as the next potential contender to join the $2 billion market capitalization club.
Despite a 11% monthly decline, Bonk has seen significant gains over the past year, with an increase of 3,539.6%.
In an April 1 tweet, BONKBot revealed that it had burned 2.5 billion BONK tokens in the past 24 hours, valued at $69.569. This brings the total BONK tokens burned by BONKBot to 256.8 billion, valued at $7.1 million based on current prices.
