BNB Price is trading in the $870–$880 range following a recent pullback, with Binance Coin still holding a clearly defined support area. The pause comes as traders balance soft short-term momentum against a quarter marked by some of the strongest network growth BNB Coin has seen in over a year.

Price has compressed into a narrow range, leaving the market waiting for a decisive move rather than following a clear trend.

BNB Chain Network Growth Remains Firm

On the fundamentals side, activity on BNB Chain continues to expand. A recent Messari report shows BNB’s circulating market cap increased 51.6% quarter over quarter to $140.4 billion, making it the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by the end of Q3 2025.

Network fees held steady at $44.0 million despite the increase in usage, reflecting the impact of earlier gas fee reductions rather than any slowdown in demand.

User activity rose sharply during the quarter. Average daily transactions increased 35.3% to 13.3 million, while daily active addresses climbed 47.1% to 2.3 million. Growth was spread across DeFi, stablecoins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and high-frequency trading applications. DeFi total value locked rose 30.7% to $7.8 billion, led by PancakeSwap, ListaDAO, and activity tied to Aster’s token launch.

Stablecoins also played a growing role. The total stablecoin market cap on BNB Chain rose 32.3% to $13.9 billion, driven by rapid expansion in USDe and USDF, alongside continued dominance of USDT. Liquidity across the network improved, even as near-term BNB Price action remained subdued.

BNB Price Technical Outlook

Technically, Binance Coin remains under pressure from short-term trend indicators. Multiple exponential moving averages continue to slope lower, while momentum indicators have stayed neutral. RSI has held in the mid-40s, a level that typically reflects consolidation rather than exhaustion.

Some technicians are beginning to see constructive signs. Crypto analyst BATMAN said BNB Coin is forming a “very nice long setup,” pointing to price holding a strong support zone, alignment with a bullish fair value gap, and a reaction from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.

BATMAN also noted a bullish divergence on the Stochastic oscillator, accompanied by a golden cross, which often signals that downside momentum is fading.

Taken together, the technical picture suggests selling pressure may be easing near current levels, though confirmation has yet to appear. A move above $920 would restore short-term strength and put the $970–$1,000 area back into focus, while a loss of $850 would break the current structure and expose downside toward $800. Until either level is resolved, trading between $850 and $920 is likely to remain uneven, leaving BNB Coin without a clear short-term direction.
