The Solana price is on the verge of a possible meltdown reminiscent of Terra‘s (LUNA) infamous collapse in 2022. A crypto analyst who identified this bearish trend in the Solana price action has projected a drastic crash to new lows at $22. Solana Price Action Mirrors LUNA’s Catastrophic Collapse A pseudonymous crypto analyst on TradingView named PizzaDriver has released a recent technical analysis of the Solana price action. The market expert predicts that Solana, the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, could soon decline to drastic lows. Related Reading: Solana Price Will Complete 1,800% Surge To $4,000 With This Formation: Analyst The analyst drew parallels between Solana’s current chart structure and the LUNA meltdown of 2022. The weekly chart highlights that Solana has formed a Double Top pattern, a classic bearish reversal signal from an uptrend to a downtrend. This pattern appears like the letter “M”, creating two peaks and a dip in between. This pattern also signifies deteriorating momentum in the Solana price, as the cryptocurrency has been facing severe volatility. In addition to the Double Top pattern, Solana’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has exhibited a bearish divergence. This means that while its price attempted to reach new highs, it was unable to due to underlying weakness. This same RSI bearish divergence was observed in LUNA before its infamous market crash, which triggered a decline to a zero level. According to the TradingView analyst, if Solana fails to hold key support levels and breaks below them, it could trigger a widespread liquidity crisis that would send its price plummeting to $22, a significant historical support level last seen in 2022. Adding to the already concerning price outlook, major institutional investors appear to have already sold their holdings and taken profits at price highs. Ahead of the bull run, these investors have reportedly reallocated funds into other somewhat safer coins like Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB), which have been seeing steady growth in on-chain activities and have risen in value over the week. This redistribution increases the risk of a rapid sell-off, further weakening Solana’s fundamentals. Rug Pulls And High Fees Weigh On Solana Beyond bearish technical indicators and price forecasts, the Solana ecosystem is currently experiencing a rise in investor dissatisfaction. PizzaDriver revealed that the Solana blockchain has become a primary space for meme coins and speculative trading. Additionally, there are allegations of rug pulls and project abandonment in the ecosystem, leaving investors with a sour experience. Related Reading: Solana Forms Ascending Triangle For Possible Breakout, Analyst Sets $565 Target Many developers have allegedly created and launched projects, stolen investors’ funds, and disappeared, thus eroding trust in the network. Moreover, Solana’s transaction fees have skyrocketed, hitting record highs and contradicting its original appeal as a low-cost transaction alternative to Ethereum. As a result, investors have begun shifting focus to long-term projects with transparent roadmaps, security audits, and strong partnerships. Due to its numerous ecosystem dilemmas, the TradingView analyst disclosed that Solana risks losing its dominant position unless it addresses these fundamental challenges.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” has taken the crypto market by storm after sharing his dog’s name and picture. The announcement sparked the launch of multiple tokens inspired by the pet and was further fueled by BNB Chain’s memecoin launchpad’s name-guessing contest. Related Reading: BNB Flips Solana’s Market Cap Amid Market Retrace – Breakout To $700 Coming? CZ Sparks Memecoin Frenzy On Wednesday, Changpeng Zhao acknowledged the cycle’s memecoin frenzy after an X user asked if he had a dog. The Binance founder revealed he had “not a Shiba Inu, but a Belgian Malinois,” which resulted in the crypto community asking for the name and picture of his dog. CZ inquired about how it would work if he shared the information, asking if people would create memecoins based on the dog, how investors would know which one is the “official” token, and if it even mattered. He joked he would mull whether to “respect his privacy, or dox the dog for the cause,” sparking massive speculation about an official memecoin launch. On Thursday, CZ shared on X that he would officially share his dog’s picture and name at 8:00 PM Dubai time, or 4:00 PM UTC, sending investors into a frenzy over the upcoming post. Community members launched several tokens with the possible names of CZ’s four-legged companion, some reaching up to $60 million in market capitalization. Arkham noted that the two frontrunner tokens on the BNB chain, BROWNIE, and PERRY, significantly surged on Thursday morning. Remarkably, an investor made over $1 million with less than a $12,000 initial in 12 hours. Four.Meme Kicks-Off Token Event BNB Chain’s token launchpad, Four.Meme joined the frenzy, announcing a “CZ Dog Name Meme Token Betting Event.” According to the X post, the tokens with the same then-unknown name of CZ’s dog would be part of a competition. The tokens created today before 4:00 PM UTC would be eligible to participate and “become the next big meme.” The announcement detailed: 30 minutes after CZ’s post, the highest market cap token on Four.Meme wins! The winner’s token will have its tokens in LP revenue regularly burned by Four.Meme! At 4:12 UTC, the Binance founder shared a picture with his dog, Broccoli. The dog was named after the vegetable because he wanted “a name that started with B and has some green in it.” CZ wrote that he and Broccoli bonded over their difficulty socializing, adding that the dog helped him get a “good break” from the “intense negotiations with the DOJ back then.” He also stated that he never imagined his pet would be part of the blockchain ecosystem, adding that there’s “never a dull day in crypto.” Broccoli Immortalized In The Blockchain CZ clarified that he was “just posting” his dog’s pictures and name and not issuing a memecoin himself. He considered it was up to the community whether to launch a token. The BNB foundation “may provide rewards for the top memes on the BNB Chain, giving LP support or other rewards,” but the details are still being discussed. After the “Pet reveal,” the tokens guessing Broccoli’s name plummeted, with the leading memecoin falling from a $22 million market cap to less than $1 million in less than a minute. Related Reading: Bitcoin Finds Price Stability: Reclaiming $101,000 Depends On This Level Meanwhile, the creation of memecoins inspired by CZ pet’s real name spiked, with several BNB Chain and Solana-based tokens flooding DexScreener’s feed. At the time of writing, CZ’s Dog (BROCCOLI), launched a minute after Zhao’s post, has become the largest gainer. The memecoin reached a $300 million market capitalization minutes after being created and is currently trading at $0.0745, with a $75 million market cap. The winning token of the Four.Meme contest is yet to be announced. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
BNB is riding a strong bullish wave, surging over 10% as bullish momentum continues to build. This impressive rally has brought the price closer to the critical $724 resistance level, a key barrier that could dictate its next major move. Over the past few days, BNB has displayed strong buying pressure, signaling renewed investor confidence. The surge comes amid broader market optimism, with bulls aiming to capitalize on the move. However, the $724 mark has historically been a tough zone, where sellers have previously stepped in to trigger corrections. With market sentiment shifting in favor of altcoins, BNB’s performance is being closely watched. Will it conquer $724, or will resistance prove too strong? The coming days will be crucial in determining BNB’s next chapter. Technical Analysis: Can BNB Break Through $724? BNB’s recent 10% surge has brought it closer to the critical and challenging $724 resistance level, and breaking through it would require substantial buying pressure. The cryptocurrency’s price is currently trading above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), indicating that bullish momentum remains intact. This technical indicator is often used to gauge the overall market trend, and trading above it suggests that buyers are in control and the uptrend could continue. Related Reading: BNB Bounce From $500: A Temporary Recovery Or Start Of A Rally? A sustained position above the 100-day SMA typically acts as a strong support level, preventing deeper pullbacks and reinforcing market confidence. If buying pressure remains steady, the price may continue its upward trajectory to key resistance levels. However, the MACD indicator shows overbought conditions, signaling that the asset may be approaching a potential reversal or consolidation phase. When the MACD line moves significantly above the signal line and the histogram expands, it often suggests that upside pressure is losing steam, and a price correction could be on the horizon. An overbought MACD reading does not necessarily mean an immediate downturn, but it does indicate that buyers may be exhausted and that profit-taking may increase. If the indicator starts to show a bearish crossover—where the MACD line crosses below the signal line—it would confirm a weakening trend, leading to a price retracement toward key support levels. Market Outlook: What’s Next For The Price? The market outlook remains cautiously bullish, with technical indicators showing strong momentum. BNB is trading above key moving averages, reinforcing the uptrend, while trading volume remains high, signaling sustained investor interest. However, challenges remain, particularly with the MACD flashing overbought signals, causing the rally to lose steam. Related Reading: BNB Steadies Above Support: Will Bullish Momentum Return? Should BNB break and hold above $724, it might trigger a fresh wave of buying, pushing the price toward $795 and beyond. On the other hand, a rejection at this level is likely to spark a short-term pullback, with $680 and $605 acting as key support zones. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
Amid today’s market retrace, BNB is leading the market with a 9% surge and surpassed Solana after flipping the cryptocurrency’s market cap. Some analysts suggest BNB’s breakout could attempt to reclaim the $700 level and target new highs. Related Reading: Bitcoin Finds Price Stability: Reclaiming $101,000 Depends On This Level BNB Leads The Crypto Market On Wednesday, the crypto market recorded another retrace, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling to a one-week low of $94,000. The rest of the market registered red numbers, with most cryptocurrencies in the top 10 bleeding. Meanwhile, BNB, previously known as Binance Coin, swan against the current today, jumping to a 12-day high of $689. The cryptocurrency had a strong Q4 2024 after reclaiming the $700 resistance as support and reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $750 in December. Nonetheless, the start-of-year retraces halted BNB’s momentum, sending the cryptocurrency below the $700 mark on Inauguration Day to hover between the $680-$660 price range. The DeepSeek correction further saw the cryptocurrency nosedive to its lowest valuation since September. BNB momentarily fell to $500, driving the market sentiment into uncertain territory. Since then, the cryptocurrency has climbed 34% from the recent lows, steadily recovering key support zones. Today, the token jumped 9%, retesting the $660 and $670 resistance zones for the first time in 12 days. The surge saw BNB lead the crypto market, being the only token in the top 10 by market capitalization (MC) to record gains throughout Wednesday morning. Additionally, the cryptocurrency flipped Solana as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after hitting $96 billion. On-chain data analysis firm Lookonchain noted that the BNB chain has processed 68.3 million transactions in the past 30 days, making it the top EVM chain by 30-day transactions. Breakout To $700 Around The Corner? Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that BNB could be gearing up for a massive move as it approached a key resistance zone between the $660 and $680 levels. According to the post, the cryptocurrency is facing “multiple technical hurdles” within this zone, including the 200, 100, and 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA), the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement, the TD Sequential resistance trendline, and the TD Sequential risk line. The analyst stated that breaking through these levels could “signal the next major move.” Meanwhile, analyst Elja Boom suggested that BNB could be about to follow its 2021 playbook. Related Reading: Ethereum Holds ‘Bounce Or Die’ Level: Rebound To $4,000 Could Be Near The analyst highlighted that the cryptocurrency is following the same breakout structure and trajectory as four years ago, which could indicate a potential surge to new highs is around the corner. BNB is attempting to reclaim its monthly opening level and retest the $700 barrier. A surge above this level could send the cryptocurrency to its two-month downtrend line and “push for the bullish reversal once again.” As of this writing, BNB is trading at $687, surging 7.2% and 21% in the daily and weekly timeframes.

Analysts say the price surge indicates that investor confidence has strengthened as they digest macroeconomic factors.
There have been recent concerns within the crypto community regarding Binance’s recent activities after a claim surfaced that the exchange had been offloading large amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Binance selloff trend was first noted on social media platform X by a market participant known as AB Kuai.Dong (@_FORAB), who noted that the crypto exchange had allegedly been selling off its Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings. Did Binance Trigger The Market Crash? The crypto market has endured a turbulent two weeks, with Bitcoin at the center of a series of price crashes. The downturn began as Bitcoin plunged to $92,000 on February 3. Although a brief recovery saw BTC climb toward $98,000 on February 11, the momentum proved short-lived. Bitcoin has since struggled to regain momentum and is hovering around $95,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Complete Largest Market Sell-Off Since 2021, Is The Top Here? Unsurprisingly, Bitcoin’s price crash rippled across the market, dragging down other cryptocurrencies. On the same day Bitcoin hit its local low, Ethereum fell below $2,470. As noted by AB Kuai.Dong, Binance may have contributed to the downturn. Data shows that crypto addresses owned by Binance have seen a drastic decline in their holdings in recent few days. Particularly, AB Kuai.Dong noted that Binance had allegedly been selling off a huge part of its crypto holdings, which cuts across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, and some stablecoins. On-chain data revealed that Binance has experienced a drastic 94.1% reduction in its Bitcoin holdings between January and February. The outflow was even more extreme for Ethereum, where balances dropped by 99.9% over the same period. BNB, Solana, and Tether USDT have also been reduced by 16.6%, 99%, and 99.9%. Interestingly, AB Kuai.Dong noted these assets were primarily past revenue generated by the platform rather than user funds. He also pointed out that a significant portion of the sold cryptocurrencies had been converted into USDC, which has increased by 57.5% in Binance’s wallets. Binance Responds To Market Crash Allegations AB Kuai.Dong quickly gained traction among crypto traders and investors on X, particularly those searching for explanations for the recent drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices. As the biggest crypto exchange in the world, a major selloff by Binance would be one of the worst things to happen to the cryptocurrencies involved. Related Reading: Analyst Says Prepare For Ethereum Price To Hit $17,000, Here’s Why However, Binance was quick to address the concerns, firmly denying that it had sold any assets. In an official statement on X, the exchange clarified that what had been observed was merely an internal accounting adjustment within the Binance treasury. As such, Binance reassured users that their funds remained safe and secure as always. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $95,740, having declined by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum is trading at $2,600 and is on a 4.2% decline in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com
BNB price is recovering losses from the $540 support zone. The price is rising and might aim for a fresh move toward the $635 resistance. BNB price is struggling to clear the $585 resistance zone. The price is now trading near $580 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $578 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair (data source from Binance). The pair must stay above the $560 level to start another increase in the near term. BNB Price Eyes Fresh Surge After a decent increase, BNB price struggled to settle above the $620 level. It started a pullback from the $619 high, like Ethereum and Bitcoin. There was a drop below the $600 support zone. The price even dived below the $580 level. A low was formed at $559 and the price recently started a decent recovery wave. There was a move above the $570 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $619 swing high to the $559 low. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $578 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair. The price is now trading near $580 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $590 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $619 swing high to the $559 low. The next resistance sits near the $595 level. A clear move above the $595 zone could send the price higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $605. A close above the $605 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $620 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $632 level in the near term. Another Decline? If BNB fails to clear the $590 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $570 level. The next major support is near the $560 level. The main support sits at $540. If there is a downside break below the $540 support, the price could drop toward the $532 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $510 level. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for BNB/USD is gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BNB/USD is currently above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $560 and $540. Major Resistance Levels – $590 and $605.
CZ clarified that the TST memecoin is not an official BNB Chain token, and neither Binance nor the BNB Chain team holds any of it.
BNB Chain has been making headlines, setting records, and drawing investors worldwide. With a strong Q4 2024 and a $750 all-time high, its Binance-backed token is proving its mettle in a volatile market. Related Reading: Bitcoin $100K Breakdown Spells Trouble For Short-Term Investors—Study The Market Cap Growth Of BNB Chain Although the last year has been somewhat turbulent for BNB, the fourth quarter of 2024 was a pivotal moment. Recent data shows that BNB’s market capitalization reached a solid $100 billion year-on-year (YoY). Messari’s most recent quarterly report indicates that in Q4 2024, BNB Chain grew significantly. The triumph of US President-elect Donald Trump set off a positive crypto market that enabled the price of the crypto to soar on December 7 to an all-time high of $750. Driven by growing institutional interest and demand for blockchain-based assets, this expansion conforms more to general market trends. Network engagement has also been vital for BNB Chain’s development. By means of continuous improvements of projects and developers under the Binance Smart Chain, its ecosystem is reinforced and its key role among blockchain systems is confirmed. Price Ascent And Market Reactions On December 7, 2024, BNB reached $750 per token, marking a new milestone. Rising demand for Binance’s ecosystem, strategic token burning, and improved macroeconomic conditions supporting the bitcoin market have all contributed to this spike. But, after hitting its peak, BNB faced the expected corrections. BNB is now trading for around $573 as of early February 2025, which is consistent with usual market fluctuations. Despite this, investor mood remains broadly positive, with many experts viewing it as a temporary reversal rather than a sign of a long-term collapse. Price Predictions And Future Outlook Market analysts continue to have high hopes for BNB’s future. While altcoin Investors project a maximum price of $1,000, CoinCodex projects that BNB might rise as high as $732 by March 2025. According to these projections, BNB still has space to develop as a result of ongoing adoption, Binance’s growing clout, and possible regulatory clarity in key areas. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Market At Risk If Key $97,000 Support Level Fails To Hold, Analyst Warns Also, regular updates to the network and token incinerations may help keep prices rising. In the past, Binance has worked to keep prices stable and increase long-term value by regularly destroying some of its tokens. What’s Next For BNB? With its past success and strong basics, BNB offers optimism for the future. The bitcoin market is usually unstable, but the altcoin has shown that it can handle challenges and benefit from increases in value. Investors will closely watch changes in laws, the overall market situation, and future updates in the Binance ecosystem. It’s uncertain if BNB will reach a price in the thousands this year, but it remains an important part of the digital asset market. Featured image from Binance, chart from TradingView

BNB has bounced off the crucial $500 support level, sparking speculation about whether this marks the beginning of a bullish resurgence or a temporary relief before another downturn. After facing sustained selling pressure, buyers have stepped in to defend this key level, fueling hopes for a potential recovery. However, with resistance levels still looming, the true strength of this rebound remains uncertain. Market sentiment remains uncertain as bulls attempt to regain control while bears stay cautious. BNB’s next move hinges on breaking key resistance levels and sustaining higher prices. A successful breakout could confirm a bullish continuation, while fading momentum may lead to another rejection and a retest of lower support zones. Technical indicators such as RSI and moving averages will play a crucial role in determining the next move. Bulls may have the upper hand if the RSI trends upward and key levels are reclaimed. On the other hand, if bearish pressure resurfaces, the possibility of further downside cannot be ignored. Analyzing The Buying Pressure On Price Currently, BNB is displaying strong upside movements as it moves toward the $605 resistance level. The coin has been steadily climbing, indicating buyers are regaining control and pushing its price higher. This move comes after a successful rebound from the key $500 support level, which has sparked renewed optimism among traders. Related Reading: BNB Price Poised for Gains: Bulls Push for New Highs Despite the ongoing bullish momentum, the price’s position under the 100-day SMA signals that BNB has not yet fully regained a strong positive trend in the longer term. It could also indicate that there is still some selling pressure from bears that might prevent the price from maintaining a steady rise. If BNB continues to trade below this key moving average, it could have difficulty sustaining its current upbeat momentum. The longer it remains below the SMA, the greater the risk of a reversal or consolidation. Additionally, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator remains in the oversold territory, showing no immediate signs of moving back toward neutral or the overbought zone. An RSI reading below 30% typically implies that the asset is oversold, and there may be more downside potential or a need for price correction. However, the RSI’s failure to exit the oversold zone suggests that the market is still under strain, with bearish pressure possibly outweighing bullish pressure. For the bulls to take control and push BNB higher, the RSI would need to gradually move back above the 30-50% range, triggering a shift toward more balanced market conditions. Is BNB Ready For A Breakout Or Heading For Another Decline? In conclusion, BNB’s current upward movement is an encouraging sign for the bulls, but the real test lies at the $605 resistance level. Should bulls succeed in pushing the price above this level, a stronger rally may follow, resulting in the cryptocurrency testing other resistance levels such as $680 and $724. Related Reading: BNB Price Bounces Back Strongly: Is The Rally Sustainable? Nevertheless, failure to clear the $605 zone might lead to a consolidation phase or possible pullback to the $531 and $500 support levels. Traders will need to closely monitor market conditions and technical indicators to gauge whether the current bullish sentiment can be sustained.

Multiple reports revealed suspicious activity involving Phemex’s hot wallets was taking place over several chains. Blockchain security firm Cyvvers shared on X it had detected multiple transactions to several suspicious wallets on different chains, “including BNB, ETH, OP, POL, BASE, and ARB.” The security firm’s initial report stated that over $29 million worth of crypto had been transferred to the suspicious addresses, later raising the sum. “Upon deeper analysis, it has come to light that both BTC and TRON blockchains have also been impacted, with the estimated total loss now reaching approximately $37 million,” the update read. Cyvvers seemingly identified around 125 suspicious transactions spread across the different blockchains and noted that the attackers had started swapping the tokens to Ethereum (ETH) to avoid potential freezing measures. Meanwhile, on-chain data analysis firm Lookonchain broke down the crypto heist, stating that the hack had taken around $31 million worth of crypto assets. According to the analysis, 3.48 million USDC, 3.42 million USDT, and 841 ETH, worth $2.7 million were drained from the exchange’s hot wallet. Additionally, the attackers took 110,701 LINK, 142 billion PEPE, 1.19 million FET, and 29,509 AVAX, valued at around $7.3 million combined. Lookonchain also listed ONDO, TRX, CRV, JASMY, AAVE, SHIB, GRT, and BRETT, as part of the stolen crypto assets. Compensation Plan In The Works After the news, Phemex CEO Federico Variola confirmed the attack on one of the crypto exchange’s hot wallets. Variola assured users that Phemex’s cold wallets remained safe and that they were investigating the reports. The exchange then announced on X the temporary halt of withdrawals due to the emergency inspection and strengthening of the security measures but did not offer further details about the incident. To ensure security, withdrawals have been temporarily suspended while we conduct an emergency inspection and strengthen wallet services. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Withdrawals will be restored soon. Phemex and the development team apologize for the disruption. Our mission to provide a seamless and trusted trading environment remains firm. Nonetheless, the post stated that ongoing business operations were fine and that trading services continued as usual. Phemex’s team also revealed they are working on a compensation plan, which will be announced soon. It’s worth noting that, in 2024, the number of hacks and total value lost increased from the year prior. According to Chainalysis data, 2024 was the fourth consecutive year in which the funds stolen from crypto hacks exceeded the billion-dollar mark.
