BNB Holds Key $640 Support Amid War-Driven Crypto Volatility

BNB has stayed above critical $640 support despite rising geopolitical tensions, as markets reacted to Israel’s military strikes on Iran and the subsequent surge in Middle East conflict risk.

The broader crypto market saw over $700 million in liquidations, but BNB remained in a narrow range, unable to break $660 resistance and now consolidating within a symmetrical triangle.

Technical indicators are mixed:

  • MACD turned negative
  • RSI is under 50
  • But a potential golden cross and positive Chaikin Money Flow hint at bullish undertones.

Despite growing activity on Binance Smart Chain, demand for BNB itself appears muted. Net Taker Volume hit a multi-week low of -197M, and open interest in futures contracts remains more than 30% below December highs.

As long as BNB defends $640, a reversal remains on the table—but momentum is clearly fading.
