The shift in momentum left the token rangebound, with buyers attempting to stabilize BNB around the $950–$960 zone. The token held near the lower end of its intraday range, signaling continued caution among traders.
“BNB’s break below $970 is not so much about its volatility, but more about a shift in order-flow dynamics,” Alex Borutski, co-founder of BNB-linked project iMe AI Messenger and Wallet, told CoinDesk in an emailed statement. “With liquidity pockets sitting below $950, the path of least resistance remains to the downside.”
BNB is caught between a clear resistance level near $970 and short-term support near $942. Borutski highlighted the formation of a head-and-shoulders pattern on shorter timeframes, a setup often viewed as a sign of potential downside ahead.
Other analysts on social media pointed to similar patterns, conveying short-term bearish pressure affecting the cryptocurrency.
Whether BNB can reclaim ground above $970 or breaks lower toward support levels around $900 may shape its next major move. For now, the decline is in line with the broader crypto market. The CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index fell 1.6% over the period.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
