BNB Price Drops as Market Faces Heavy Selling Pressure

BNB Faces Downward Pressure Amid Market Sell-Off

BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain, experienced a 3.3% decline over the past 24 hours, dropping from $1,117 to as low as $1,063 before stabilizing just under $1,080. This sell-off wiped out recent gains and breached crucial technical levels, according to CoinDesk Research's analysis. Trading volume spiked 87% above the 24-hour average during this period.

This downward trend followed a sharp decrease in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, reflecting a broader market correction as excess leverage was eliminated. The CoinDesk 20 index showed a 2.74% decline in the wider market.

The downturn accelerated as algorithmic trading systems triggered a series of sell orders, pushing prices lower. BNB found temporary support around the $1,070 mark, but recovery attempts stalled near $1,075, where renewed selling pressure kept the token in a narrow range. Momentum indicators on shorter-term charts have eased but not reversed, indicating buyer hesitation.

Market participants are closely watching the $1,070 support level to determine whether this movement is a one-off event or the beginning of a deeper correction.
