Moo Deng and Bonk are expected to be in the spotlight this week as Bitcoin bulls attempt to push the bellwether asset toward a new all-time high.<\/p>\n

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization rebounded 3.5% over the past 24 hours to reach $3.48 trillion, following two consecutive days of losses.<\/p>\n

This recovery was catalyzed by Bitcoin\u2019s successful defense of the $105,000 support level on July 2, which triggered a bullish reversal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The benchmark asset climbed to an intraday high of $109,600, reflecting a nearly 4% gain from its recent local bottom, before stabilizing at around $108,900. At that level, Bitcoin (BTC) is just $2,900 shy of retesting its all-time high, according to data from crypto.news.<\/p>\n

With sentiment improving across both institutional and retail segments, analysts are now forecasting that Bitcoin could take aim at fresh all-time highs soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the meantime, select meme coins are drawing renewed interest this week, driven by a mix of broader market optimism and project-specific momentum.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moo Deng\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Moo Deng (MOODENG) has staged a strong rally shortly after South Korean crypto exchange Upbit announced it would be listing the token today. The memecoin shot up 31% within 20 minutes as the exchange announced the listing, bringing its gains over the past 24 hours to over 45% as of press time.<\/p>\n

A key catalyst for Moo Deng this week is the celebration of the baby pygmy hippo Moo\u202fDeng\u2019s first birthday on July 10, 2025, a milestone that has become a recurring viral event among the token\u2019s community.<\/p>\n

Moo\u202fDeng was born at Thailand\u2019s Khao\u202fKheow Open Zoo and quickly became a global internet sensation thanks to her charm and meme-worthy behavior.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s birthday marks the one-year anniversary of that viral surge. Prior celebrations, such as her 10\u2011month milestone in May, sparked widespread social media activity that coincided with brief but powerful crypto-market interest, lifting meme tokens and fan-themed NFT assets on speculation alone.<\/p>\n

Traders expect a similar scenario to transpire this time as well. The enthusiasm among supporters is evident from the fact that despite a number of whales offloading their holdings ahead of the event, the meme coin has continued to rally, supported by retail demand.<\/p>\n

Support from the community appears strong. On-chain data from Nansen shows exchange balances have fallen 12% over the past 24 hours, as more holders move their tokens off exchanges, often a sign they\u2019re preparing to hold in anticipation of further gains.<\/p>\n

On the daily chart, Moo Deng\u2019s price remains firmly above both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, signaling sustained bullish momentum and strong short-to-midterm trend support.<\/p>\n

The token has also formed a round bottom pattern, a classic bullish reversal structure that often precedes extended upward moves.<\/p>\n

Bonk<\/h2>\n

Bonk (BONK) was trading at $0.0000172 as of last check Thursday, afternoon Asian time, up 21% over the past 24 hours with a market cap of $1.3 billion.<\/p>\n

Traders are closely following Bonk this week as the project\u2019s team revealed it will be burning 1 trillion BONK tokens once the emecoin hits the 1 million holders milestone. With the metric currently standing at 943.41k per data from CoinGecko Terminal, it will not be long before the threshold is hit.<\/p>\n

When tokens are burned, they\u2019re permanently removed from circulation, a move traders often view as bullish since reduced supply can amplify price impact if demand persists.<\/p>\n

From a technical standpoint, Bonk has recently broken out of a falling wedge pattern on the daily chart, a bullish reversal formation that typically precedes sustained upward movement. The token is also holding above its 50-day exponential moving average, reinforcing short-term bullish momentum.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the MACD indicator has flipped positive, with the signal line pointing upward, indicating a possible shift in momentum in favor of buyers.<\/p>\n

Taken together, these technical signals suggest a continuation of Bonk\u2019s upward trajectory, especially if on-chain milestones such as the 1 million holders trigger the anticipated token burn.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The convergence of strong chart structure, improving sentiment, and a forthcoming supply reduction places Bonk in a potentially favorable position for short-term price appreciation.<\/p>\n
