Yet BNB found demand from both retail and corporate buyers, with heavy trading volumes helping it recover from its steep intraday lows.

The asset’s recent performance follows a series of moves by Binance to strengthen its platform, including rolling out web version of its wallet and expanding bitcoin options offerings.

Meanwhile, companies including CEA Industries, Wintree Therapeutics and Nano Labs have been adding BNB to their treasuries, signaling broader appetite for the token.

Compared to other exchange tokens that remain 30% to 60% off their highs, BNB’s 10% drawdown from its $861 peak, according to CryptoQuant data, positions it as one of the sector’s more stable assets under pressure, along with LEO.

BNB, the same data source shows, currently holds a dominance 81.4% share of the exchange token sector’s total market capitalization.

Technical Analysis Overview

BNB’s recovery was driven by a sharp price drop early in the session, where heavy selling sent the token down to $746.29.

That level attracted strong volume with 105,239 tokens traded, well above the daily average, suggesting buyers stepped in aggressively at the discount, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

After establishing support, BNB began forming a series of higher lows. That pattern pointed to a shift in sentiment as buyers repeatedly defended new levels, gradually pushing the price upward.

A second volume-backed bounce reinforced that trend. From there, the token climbed steadily, eventually nearing the $760 level.

What to know:

  • A stronger yen could lead to de-risking in macro portfolios, impacting liquidity conditions that have supported bitcoin's recent recovery.
  • Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated a high probability of a rate hike, with officials prepared for further tightening if their economic outlook supports it.
