What to know : BNB fell below $900 amid a broader market decline, even after recent technical upgrades and ecosystem developments on the BNB Chain. The BNB Chain's layer-2 network, opBNB, recently completed a major upgrade, the Fourier hard fork, which doubled transaction throughput and cut block times in half. To regain bullish momentum, BNB needs to break out of its current downtrend and reclaim resistance levels near $906, otherwise it may face further pressure toward $892.
BNB slipped below $900 after a day of steady losses and heavy selling in the entire cryptocurrency market, despite several technical upgrades and ecosystem developments across the BNB Chain.
The token fell 2.2%, with sellers gaining control as attempted rebounds stalled below key resistance zones, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model. The wider market as measured by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index dropped 2.6%.
Volume surged during the day to well above average levels, signaling increased liquidity. Price action formed a descending channel, with each bounce weaker than the last. A sharp breakdown late in the session confirmed bearish momentum and flipped the $900 level from support to resistance.
The drop came even as BNB Chain’s layer-2 network, opBNB, completed a major upgrade. The Fourier hard fork cut block times in half, doubling transaction throughput. The change was designed to boost performance for applications built within the network's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Elsewhere in the BNB ecosystem, Binance introduced silver perpetual futures contracts, its first foray into commodities, and started a $1 million staking campaign with high yield offers across major tokens. BNB can be used for trading fee discounts on the exchange.
Still, traders focused on technicals rather than fundamentals. Broader weakness across altcoins, tied to bitcoin’s recent pullback and overall market caution, weighed on sentiment.
For BNB to regain bullish footing, it would need to reclaim resistance levels near $906 and break out of its current downtrend. Until then, pressure may continue, with downside targets near $892 and possibly lower.
