The Bonk treasury drain is ugly, showing even established meme coins aren't immune to governance hacks. That $20M hole isn't a good look and could trip up other Solana-based meme coins, maybe even [SOL](/coins/sol) itself, if contagion spreads. Elsewhere, XRP's inability to clear $1.14 on decent volume suggests the breakout is losing steam. Traders are likely waiting for a clearer catalyst or a significant volume surge.

On the flip side, reports of Trump-backed American Bitcoin (ABTC) pushing treasury holdings past 8,000 BTC is a quiet signal of accumulating interest. It's not a massive number, but it contrasts with the security risks elsewhere. We'll watch if this narrative picks up steam.

Today's regime is constructive, but demands discipline. We favor quality long setups on pullbacks, especially in leaders like [RIVN](/coins/rivn). Avoid chasing nonexistent strength and watch out for Bonk fallout. Check the pulse and stick to the plan. Explore [Radiant algorithms](/algorithms).
