BNB spent most of the day consolidating between $885 and $888, building a tight range pattern supported by rising lows and increased volume early in the session. A breakout above the $888 technical pivot signaled potential bullish momentum.
But that push failed to hold as trading activity thinned and broader market pressure returned. As the wider crypto market dropped, witjh bitcoin and ether registering 24-hour losses of 2.8% and 3.6%, respectively, BNB dropped as well.
The decline appeared technical rather than tied to any BNB-specific negative news.
The dip has seen the wider cryptocurrency market near the $3 trillion capitalization while 24-hour trading volume saw a major spike to $115.7 billion, according to CoinGecko data.

The director of global macro at the asset management giant remains a secular bull on bitcoin, but isn't optimistic about the next year.
What to know:
- A number of notable market analysts of late have dismissed the idea of bitcoin's four-year cycle and the nearly certain bear market that might imply.
