The cryptocurrency has been struggling against broader market weakness, and today’s sharp drop confirms a bearish continuation pattern. With sellers in control, BNB is now eyeing a potential decline toward the next major support zone around $576.95, with an even deeper downside target near $541.63. Can bulls regain strength, or is BNB heading toward new monthly lows? Let’s break down the latest market action and key levels to watch.

Technology & Vision

Binance Coin (BNB) remains one of the most influential assets in the crypto market, serving as the backbone of Binance’s massive ecosystem. The coin fuels transactions on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), supports trading fee discounts, and is used across numerous DeFi and NFT projects. Despite its strong fundamentals, BNB has not been immune to the latest market downturn. With regulatory challenges still surrounding Binance and declining market sentiment, BNB’s short-term outlook remains bearish, despite its long-term value proposition.

Market Sentiment & Key Levels to Watch

BNB is currently trading around $605.84, marking a significant breakdown below the $616.45 support level, which had previously acted as a key defense zone for bulls. This breakdown signals an increase in selling pressure, making lower price levels more likely in the near term.

  • Immediate Resistance: The $616.45 level has now flipped into resistance. If BNB attempts a recovery, it must reclaim this zone to regain bullish traction. The area around $635.20, can act as a stop-loss level for short positions.
  • Immediate Support: The next key support level to watch is $576.95. If bears push the price lower, this could be the first line of defense for bulls.
  • Deeper Downside Target: A confirmed break below $576.95 could open the door for further declines toward $541.63, which marks a crucial long-term support zone.

The market’s rejection from key resistance levels and the formation of consecutive bearish candles indicate that sellers remain firmly in control. With no immediate bullish catalyst in sight, BNB’s price action suggests a further downside move is likely in the coming days.

Conclusion

BNB’s latest price action paints a clear bearish picture. The failure to hold above $616.45 and the subsequent drop confirm that sellers are driving the market lower. With downside targets at $576.95 and potentially $541.63, traders should brace for further volatility. If BNB fails to hold above its next support, we could see extended losses across the board.

For now, bears are in charge, and any short-term rebounds may be limited unless bulls manage to reclaim $616.45. Keep an eye on price action near $576.95, as it will determine whether BNB stabilizes or extends its downward spiral. Stay tuned for further updates on Binance Coin’s trajectory in the coming sessions.

SEC Lawsuit: Ripple’s XRP Sales To institutional Buyers Still Pending

The  Ripple lawsuit remains active on the SEC’s docket. Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett noted that Ripple’s XRP was excluded from the last press statements made by the SEC due to an open procedural issue.

The financial watchdog must ask Judge Analisa Torres to lift the injunction she placed on Ripple’s XRP sales to institutional buyers.

However, with the latest announcement from the SEC, Ripple and others seem to be out of the legal fight. From the SEC’s perspective, the dispute was settled after both sides agreed to withdraw. The court proceedings in which both parties were involved were stayed after they filed a Joint Stipulation of Settlement.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission appears to have closed some enforcement actions against certain crypto firms, namely Kraken, ConsenSys, and Cumberland DRW LLC. All three firms can settle through joint stipulations, which were filed with prejudice, preventing the SEC from bringing identical charges in the future.

The agency completed its investigations into Crypto.com without taking enforcement actions. Additionally, the agency continues its enforcement pullback by closing cases against Coinbase, Robinhood, Uniswap Labs, and OpenSea.

XRP Drops 7% as Market Reacts to Trump Tariffs and Inflation Woes

XRP took a 7% hit on Friday as macro concerns weighed on the market. Tariff threats from former US President Donald Trump and inflation fears spooked investors across risk assets.

Despite previous rallies, XRP has struggled to hold momentum, down 35% from its January high of $3.40. That’s compared to its 500% surge in late 2024.

President Donald Trump Pardons BitMEX Men

President Donald Trump has allegedly pardoned the three co-founders of BitMEX, the cryptocurrency platform, who had filed guilty pleas to felony charges.

Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed were part of a CNBC report that claimed Trump pardoned the three, claiming they were part of a more extensive criminal ecosystem that involved laundering money and violating the Bank Secrecy Act.

Eley and Hayes admitted to pleading guilty in February of 2022 that they ‘willfully failed to establish, implement, and maintain an Anti-Money Laundering program’ for BitMEX, while Reed took a plea some weeks later. No statements from the White House confirm that President Trump pardoned the men.

Trump has made some controversial federal pardons, and it is unclear which one caused the most stir as it included over 1,500 people who had been charged because of the events of January 6th and also included Ross Ulbricht, who had been jailed for over 11 years for the Silk Road.

Sources have indicated that the former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, serving 25 years for misuse of false imprisonment, attempted to seek a pardon from Trump.

Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, Samuel Reed,  and Gregory Dwyer were charged in 2020 by US officials for breaching the Bank Secrecy Act. Hayes was the chief business officer of BitMEX at that time.

Elon Musk: World’s Richest Man Merge X with xAI

The world’s richest man announced via social media that the developers of Grok had acquired X (formerly Twitter) in an all-stock transaction.

The post claimed that xAI, the developers of Grok, “acquired X in an all-stock deal. “ Musk stated in the post, ” The merger values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. “

This statement addressed the assumed merger of xAI and X. Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in April 2022. Fidelity Investments lowered its last estimate of X’s funding value to $ 9.4 billion. Musk’s purchase price of Twitter has dropped by 77 percent.

While social media users debated the $ 33 billion valuation, others expressed interest in how he justified the 77 percent decline in X’s market valaution

Musk, a self-declared multi-billionaire, launched xAI this July and claims to lead X ans SpaceX, Tesla, and several other enterprises. This occurred a year after the announcement of his Twitter purchase. Meanwhile, xAI claimed to acquire this deal under the pretense of violence. The self-contradictory statement from former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman regarding his business partner dispute resulted in xAI obtaining the deal under that contradictory pretext.

Musk expressed on X on Friday, “We are officially moving forward today in merging the data, models, compute, distribution, and talent. This combination will be groundbreaking by integrating the sophisticated AI capabilities and expertise of xAI with the vast scope of X.” Musk added, “The amalgamated company will provide intelligent and profound experiences to billions while staying true to our core objective. “

Wall Street Slips on Trump Tariff Concerns, Ends Week in the Red

Investors grew increasingly worried that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy could push the economy into a recession.

All three major Wall Street indexes closed lower for both the session and the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which tracks 30 corporate giants, dropped 1.69% to 41,583.90 points. The S&P 500, representing the market’s most valuable companies, fell 1.97% to 5,580.94 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 2.70% to 17,322.99.

The U.S. stock market started the week on a positive note amid reports of tariff exemptions ahead of their April 2 implementation. However, concerns over a potential recession and auto tariffs reversed market sentiment.
