The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points, as widely expected. But Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks that further cuts in December aren’t guaranteed shook risk assets, including crypto.
As a result, 24-hour liquidation have ballooned to over $1.1 billion according to CoinGlass data, with most of those being long positions.
For BNB, the selloff accelerated after repeated failures to break resistance near $1,115. After prices fell below $1,095, selling pressure intensified with the token falling to an intraday low near $1,081 before settling around $1,073. Price action showed a series of lower highs, a signal of fading momentum.
The drop appears driven more by market structure than any token-specific news. BNB’s technical breakdown mirrors patterns across other major tokens as traders digest central bank policy and position for Friday’s $13 billion options expiry.
BNB now faces short-term resistance around $1,087. A recovery above $1,095 could help neutralize the downtrend, but if sellers stay active, a retest of the $1,081 level is in play.
