BOME’s price drop brought its market cap down to $680 million, making it the 95th-largest digital asset at the reporting time. The meme coin also witnessed a 24.7% decrease in its daily trading volume, currently hovering at $282 million.
Data indicates that the BOME Relative Strength Index, which measures price momentum, is around 37 on a 100-point scale, suggesting that the meme coin is oversold at the current price level.
According to data provided by Santiment, BOME’s total open interest plunged from $109.58 million on July 30 to $76.76 million at the reporting time. With the decrease in trading volume and open interest, BOME is expected to experience lower price volatility due to fewer liquidations.
