What to know:

  • BNB has staged a comeback after a market downturn rising over 4% from its weekly low and 0.7% in the last 24 hours to around $657.
  • The rebound comes amid fading uncertainty surrounding a public feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as well as improving fundamentals on the BNB Chain.

BNB, the native token of the Binance ecosystem, staged a swift comeback after a jolt of market turbulence rattled the broader crypto market.

The coin rose more than 4% from this week’s low and is up around 0.7% in the last 24 hours, reversing from a dip to $631 to around $657 after forming a textbook V-shaped recovery pattern, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

The rebound came as the uncertainty associated with a flare-up between U.S. president Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk that triggered a sell-off for risk assets started fading.

BNB Chain’s fundamentals have been improving. Daily active users jumped 26.4% to 1.2 million, while revenue in Q1 2025 grew 58% from the previous quarter to $70.8 million, according to a Messari report.

Technical charts show BNB hit resistance around $657 after heavy buying at the $650 level. A critical pivot now lies at $654, with traders eyeing U.S. inflation data, due to be released this Wednesday, for cues on the next move.

Meanwhile, Binance is leaning into innovation. Its June 9 hackathon opened new tracks in decentralized science and physical infrastructure.
