BNB (BNB) has shed roughly 25% of its value in a matter of weeks, sliding from the $800 range in late January to around $600 as broader cryptocurrency markets remain under pressure and traders debate whether the token's current level marks a floor or a waypoint to further losses.
What Happened; BNB Tests $600 Support
The Binance ecosystem token was trading near $600 on Feb. 13, extending a steep decline that began after BNB peaked above $930 in mid-January. The sell-off has wiped more than $30 billion from the token's market capitalization, which now stands at roughly $82 billion.
Crypto trader Pocolocco, writing on Binance Square, described the $600 zone as a critical technical level. "If buyers keep defending it, the conversation changes from 'is it dumping?' to 'is this accumulation?'" the analyst wrote, noting that the relative strength index had drifted toward oversold territory.
Pocolocco identified a falling wedge pattern on higher timeframes and argued that reclaiming the $650–$668 region would make a move toward $700 "logical" rather than aspirational, while warning that a decisive break below $600 could expose BNB to a test of $550.

Why It Matters; Fundamentals Versus Sentiment
The sell-off comes despite a string of network upgrades that have strengthened BNB Chain's technical underpinnings. The Fermi hard fork, activated on Jan. 14, reduced block times by roughly 40% to 0.45 seconds, making the chain one of the fastest EVM-compatible networks in operation. Ongoing quarterly token burns continue to tighten supply, and on-chain activity across DeFi and gaming has remained steady.
Yet none of those developments have insulated BNB from the broader market downturn. The CMC Fear & Greed Index recently sat at 10, reflecting extreme fear, and the Altcoin Season Index at 27 signals continued capital rotation toward Bitcoin (BTC).
Technical analysts noted BNB was trading near the lower Bollinger Band, with an RSI around 25 — readings that typically precede either a relief bounce or, if support fails, an accelerated leg lower toward $550–$575.
