The initial drop, which saw BNB fall from an opening price of $980.18 to an intraday low of $953.31, came on elevated volume and confirmed a breakdown below key support levels.
Despite the bounce, the broader setup for BNB remains cautious. The token is struggling to hold gains near $970, with resistance building near $980. Volume remains subdued compared to the earlier sell-off, suggesting the move higher may lack conviction.
There weren’t significant developments affecting the token other than the crypto market’s turbulence. The broader market, based on the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, lost 0.44% of its value over the last 24 hours.
BNB’s ability to stay above $970 could offer short-term support, but traders are watching whether the token can retake the $975–$980 zone.
Without a strong move above those levels, BNB may continue to consolidate or drift lower as the market reacts to weaker exchange activity and reduced liquidity signals.
