Binance Coin (BNB) is moving closer to the $615 support zone as selling pressure continues. Oversold conditions are building, placing the token at a key technical level that could decide its next move. BNB has entered a sharp correction after failing to break above resistance near $932. That rejection confirmed a bearish structure and triggered a strong move lower across multiple timeframes. Since the rejection, price action has remained weak. Lower highs and strong downside candles show that sellers are still in control, suggesting this is more than a short-term pullback. Attention is now focused on the $615 level. This…
Bitcoin and Ethereum are moving lower, but the broader crypto market shows caution rather than fear. Prices have slipped after weeks of quiet trading, yet traders are not rushing into riskier assets. Bitcoin was trading near $69,500 at press time, a level not seen in over a year. Ethereum was around $2,060, down nearly 4% over the same period. Despite the drop, market activity remains controlled. Bitcoin traded in a tight range through late December and early January. This led to very low volatility, showing limited trader participation and low conviction across the market. Volatility has now started to rise,…

Ito wrote that gift funds from Epstein “allowed us to move quickly and win this round,” highlighting the financier’s significant role. Crypto investors online quickly…

CZ made the comments during a broadcast on Binance’s social platform. He pointed to recent accusations linking Binance to an October flash crash that triggered one…

Among the emails from around 2017, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s name appears alongside Russian-born venture capitalist Masha Drokova, now Masha Bucher, founder of Day One Ventures.
