LUCKNOW (CoinChapter.com) — Dubai-based Baseball United has named the Shiba Inu’s rival Bonk (BONK) cryptocurrency as its official presenting partner for the 2024-2025 events. This collaboration will see the meme coin integrated into various aspects of the league’s operations, from venue branding to broadcast segments and innovative fan experiences.

The partnership extends beyond just the upcoming 2024 season. It encompasses major events like the Arab Classic and the Baseball United Cup. The league’s inaugural professional season will begin in October 2025. The upcoming season features teams such as the Arabia Wolves and Mid East Falcons.

This partnership is part of a broader trend where cryptocurrency companies are increasingly partnering with sports leagues to boost visibility and adoption.

Similar initiatives have been seen in the past, such as the partnership between Candy Digital and Major League Baseball (MLB) in 2021 and Perth Heat’s move to pay its players in Bitcoin. However, these partnerships have not been without risks, as seen with the collapse of FTX, which had multiple high-profile sports sponsorships before its downfall.

Technical Indicators Signal Potential Downtrend

Despite this partnership, recent data shows a 4.9% drop in BONK’s price over a 24-hour period, with its market capitalization hovering around $1.27 billion.

Bonk (BONK) appears to be in a consolidation phase after experiencing significant volatility earlier in the year. The price action shows a series of lower highs since June, indicating a potential downtrend.

The Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are showing bearish, with the 20 EMA below the 50, 100, and 200 EMAs. This suggests a short-term bearish sentiment. The RSI is currently hovering around 38.04. An RSI below 50 typically indicates bearish momentum, and values below 30 suggest an asset is oversold, possibly signaling a reversal. 

While BONK is not in oversold territory yet, it is getting closer to that level. This suggests that the selling pressure is strong, but if it reaches oversold conditions, there might be a potential for a short-term bounce or consolidation.

Given these technical indicators and the recent partnership news, predicting BONK’s short-term price is challenging.

The partnership could provide a catalyst for upward movement, but the overall market sentiment and technical setup lean bearish. Investors should watch for a potential breakout above the recent high of around 0.00004000 for signs of bullish momentum. Conversely, a drop below the recent low of 0.00001829 could signal further downside.
