"BNB climbs 1.6% to $872, surpassing XRP to reclaim fourth-largest market cap amid strong ecosystem and institutional interest."

What to know:

  • BNB rose 2.5% to $872, outperforming the broader market which gained 1.4%.
  • The token's action showed higher lows and sustained gains, and increased trading volume.
  • Market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance at $880, with a break higher potentially targeting $900.

BNB extended gains over the past 24 hours, rising nearly 2.5% to trade at $872 amid a broader cryptocurrency market recovery that saw the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index rise 1.4% in the same period.

The token outperformed most major cryptocurrencies during the session, holding firm above the $850 support level as volatility weighed on the wider market, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Trading data shows BNB rose above $851 and then climbed steadily through the period, reaching a high of about $876 before consolidating. Daily volume went well above recent averages, suggesting participation from larger traders rather than short-term retail flows.

Price action followed a familiar pattern for major player accumulation. BNB posted higher lows throughout the day and held gains during periods when other tokens pulled back.

Interest in BNB has also been supported by recent announcements from BNB Chain ecosystem participants like PancakeSwap, which earlier unveiled a new onchain prediction market incubated by it called Probable.

For now, market participants are watching whether BNB can hold above $870 and challenge resistance in the $880 range. A sustained break higher could refocus attention on the $900 level, while a drop below $850 would test whether recent gains reflect durable accumulation or short-term positioning.
