"BNB price chart showing a 1.8% decline below $1,090 support amid heavy selling pressure and broad crypto market weakness."
  • BNB’s price fell 2% to $1,073 after failing to hold key technical support around $1,095, amid a broader crypto market selloff triggered by the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.
  • The Fed’s 25 basis point rate cut and Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious remarks led to a wave of selling, with 24-hour liquidations surging to over $1.1 billion.
  • BNB’s technical breakdown appears driven by market structure rather than token-specific news, with the token facing short-term resistance around $1,087.

BNB is down more than 2% over the past 24 hours, falling to $1,073 after failing to hold key technical support around $1,095 according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model.

The drop comes as the broader crypto market reels from a wave of selling tied to shifting signals from the U.S. Federal Reserve, with the broader market slipping 4.7% based on the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index.

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.
