According to data provided by Santiment, Bonk’s social volume increased by 320% since Feb. 25. Data shows that the majority of the social activity comes from X and Telegram.&nbsp; 
Despite the price rally, the largest <a href="https://crypto.news/solanas-memecoin-bonk-sees-13-surge-ahead-of-potential-revolut-listing/">BONK</a> whales still haven’t <a href="https://solana.fm/address/DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263/distribution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made</a> any big movements for profit-taking yet.&nbsp; 
Data from Santiment shows that Bonk’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has cooled down in the middle of the price rally — declining from 64 to 63 in the past 24 hours. The indicator suggests that the meme coin is slightly overheated, and some whales might try to sell BONK for profit. 
BONK’s price hike comes as <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-64000-2024-bull-run/">Bitcoin’s rally to the $64,000 mark</a> brings bullish momentum to the broader crypto market.&nbsp; 
According to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/view/memes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from CoinMarketCap (CMC), the total meme coin market cap surged by 32% over the past day — surpassing the $34 billion mark.
