Strategy faces $3.8 billion loss as Bitcoin sinks under $71K on Saylor’s birthday

Binance Coin (BNB) is facing a critical test as sustained selling pressure 
pushes the token toward a level many analysts now describe as its final short- 
term support. Since January 29, BNB has declined about 14.6%, underperforming 
Bitcoin over the same period and reflecting a broader shift in risk appetite 
across crypto markets. Related Reading: Standard Chartered Cuts 2026 Solana 
Prediction To $250, Eyes $2,000 By 2030 While the price has so far held above 
the $730 area, market participants remain divided on whether this level can 
continue to absorb downside pressure. The recent pullback has unfolded against 
a mixed backdrop. On higher timeframes, BNB is still trading above long-term 
swing levels, which has kept some recovery hopes alive. However, daily charts 
show a clear bearish structure after the price fell below former support near 
$820, suggesting that sellers remain in control for now. BNB&#8217;s price trends to

Under Close Watch As Structure Turns Bearish The $730 zone has acted as a 
reliable support since mid-2024 and was again defended during the latest sell- 
off. Analysts note that this level represents a convergence of historical 
demand and prior consolidation, making it technically significant. Despite the 
bounce, momentum indicators such as the Awesome Oscillator remain in negative 
territory, pointing to continued bearish pressure rather than a confirmed 
reversal. Volume data adds nuance to the picture. While recent selling pushed 
on-balance volume lower, the broader trend over the past month has been 
upward, hinting that not all participants are exiting positions aggressively. 
Even so, the loss of the December lows has shifted the daily market structure 
firmly to the downside. Below $730, the next notable support sits near $687. A 
decisive break of that area could expose BNB to a deeper retracement, 
potentially extending losses toward the mid-$600 range. BNB’s Supply Zones And 
Macro Factors Weigh On Recovery Attempts Any upside attempts are likely to 
face resistance between $780 and $840, where multiple supply zones are 
stacked. The former $820 support has now flipped into resistance, and analysts 
suggest that rallies into this range could attract fresh selling unless 
reclaimed decisively. Macro conditions are also influencing sentiment. 
Weakness in tech stocks, renewed expectations of higher-for-longer interest 
rates following recent Federal Reserve developments, and ongoing negative 
headlines linked to Binance have combined to limit risk appetite. Some short- 
term traders point to clean order blocks and harmonic patterns that could 
support a bounce if $730 continues to hold. However, most analysts agree that 
any recovery would likely require improved broader market conditions and a 
sustained move back above key resistance levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drop

now, $730 remains the line in the sand. Whether it holds may determine if BNB 
stabilizes or if the current downtrend has further to run. Cover image from

XRP price extended losses and traded below $1.50. The price is now 
consolidating losses but faces hurdles near $1.5320 and $1.550. XRP price 
started another decline and traded below the $1.5250 zone. The price is now 
trading below $1.50 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key 
bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.5850 on the hourly chart of 
the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move 
down if it stays below $1.60. XRP Price Dips Again XRP price failed to stay 
above $1.5320 and extended its decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price 
declined below $1.5250 and $1.50 to enter a short-term bearish zone. The price 
even extended losses below $1.4850. A low was formed at $1.4330, and the price 
is now consolidating losses with a bearish angle below the 23.6% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $1.6322 swing high to the 
$1.4330 low but failed. The price is now trading below $1.50 and the 
100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bearish trend line forming 
with resistance at $1.5850 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there 
is a fresh recovery move, the price might face resistance near the $1.480 
level. The first major resistance is near the $1.5320 level or the 50% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $1.6322 swing high to the 
$1.4330 low. A close above $1.5320 could send the price to $1.5850. The next 
hurdle sits at $1.60. A clear move above the $1.60 resistance might send the 
price toward the $1.620 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward 
the $1.650 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near 
$1.70. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $1.5320 resistance zone, it 
could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the 
$1.4320 level. The next major support is near the $1.4250 level. If there is a 
downside break and a close below the $1.4250 level, the price might continue 
to decline toward $1.412. The next major support sits near the $1.4650 zone, 
below which the price could continue lower toward $1.450. Technical Indicators 
Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone.
