BNB Price Falls Below Technical Support as Market Awaits FOMC Clues Amid Geopolitical Tension

The drop comes amid growing unease surrounding the conflict between Iran and Israel and Trump's convening of the National Security Council. BNB, the native token of BNB Chain, fell 1.7% over the past 24-hour period, rattled by growing market unease as the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates and after U.S. President Donald Trump called for the National Security Council to prepare in the situation room. BNB swung between $659 and $646 during the day, marking a tight but significant trading range. The $647 level has emerged as a support line for the token, which now hovers below it, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data. Despite the turbulence, BNB Chain’s fundamentals remain strong. It processed over $100 billion in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume in the past month, and more than $10 billion in the last 24 hours, according to DeFiLlama. Investors are now eyeing Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting for cues. Any signals on interest rates could influence liquidity, particularly in risk-on assets like crypto. Also lingering in the background is VanEck’s pending BNB ETF application, which was filed in May. If approved, it could open the door to greater institutional participation.
