BNB faced fresh pressure this week as trade-war headlines and ongoing regulatory concerns kept the market cautious.
As per Coingeko data, BNB crypto was trading near $886 on Thursday, holding steady on the day but still down about 4–5% over the past week.
Daily spot volume hovered around $1.9Bn, while BNB’s market value stood near $121Bn, keeping it in fourth place among major crypto assets.
Data from SoSoValue show that centralized-exchange tokens drove the market lower earlier in the week.
BNB fell about -5.4% in a single 24-hour stretch, marking one of its sharpest declines this month.
CoinGlass data shows open interest near $1.36Bn, with about $740M traded in futures over the past day compared with roughly $113M in spot activity.
Open interest dropped more than -5% in a single day as the sell-off picked up. Long positions worth over $5M were wiped out.
The pressure on BNB came as broader markets turned cautious. Donald Trump threatened tariffs of 10–25% on eight European allies over Greenland.
That headline shook risk assets, pushed Bitcoin below $90,000, and pulled major altcoins, including BNB, down -3% earlier in the week.

Why Is BNB Stuck Below $915 Despite Multiple Recovery Attempts?
The four-hour chart shows BNB stuck in a tight and fragile range after a long pullback.
The coin is trading near $890 and hasn’t been able to build momentum, even after several recovery attempts since late November.
The broader structure still leans bearish. A death cross formed recently, with the short-term moving average slipping below the long-term one.
That shift broke the earlier uptrend and set the tone for weaker rallies. Each bounce since then has been shallow and met with quick selling.
Resistance remains firm in the $908–$915 zone. Sellers have defended this band several times. On the other side, support sits between $880 and $886.
Price has tapped this area many times, which often means it is getting weaker. If BNB slips below this band, the next likely stop is near $850, a key level on the chart.
Momentum indicators also point to caution. The four-hour RSI is drifting lower and is close to oversold levels. That shows buyers are losing strength, though it also leaves room for a short-lived bounce.
But unless BNB can push back above $915, any move higher will likely remain a corrective swing, not the start of a new trend.
