BONK consolidating in a symmetrical triangle pattern
Bonk’s price action is currently displaying strong bullish momentum, raising the question of whether BONK/USDT will break out and surge higher as we approach the final quarter of the year.
This period is historically bullish for the crypto market.
The pair is trading within a large symmetrical triangle, with the price moving closer to the resistance of this pattern.
The symmetrical triangle, which has been forming since the start of the year, indicates that traders and investors have accumulated significant amounts of Bonk. The potential for a breakout seems imminent.
Earlier, the pair formed a triple bottom at the $0.000016 zone, a pattern that typically signals a reversal.

This triple bottom has been confirmed by a break above the neckline, but a breakout above the upper resistance is crucial for the bullish scenario to play out.
Several indicators support the idea that Bonk could break out and rally. For instance, the MACD has fully flipped bullish, with the histogram bars indicating increased buying momentum.
This further strengthens the bias that it could break above the resistance and pump significantly.
If the breakout occurs, traders could see a potential return of more than 70%, from the breakout zone to BONK’s all-time high.
