How Ben Armstrong turned BitBoy crypto into a brand — then lost it all

BNB finds itself at a pivotal crossroads where conflicting signals collide — a 
bearish breakdown challenging key support levels, yet a bullish flag pattern 
hints at a potential upward surge. This paradox leaves traders and investors 
weighing which force will ultimately dominate the market’s next move. As 
pressure mounts from both sides, understanding the technical nuances behind 
this tug-of-war becomes crucial to anticipating BNB’s trajectory in the near 
term. BNB Faces Pressure From Key Technical Levels Analyzing the BNBUSD setup 
on the M30 timeframe, Thomas Anderson in an X post highlighted that the price 
is currently testing the yellow support line at $626.95, following a decisive 
drop below the cyan price line at $633.99. This breakdown has shifted short- 
term sentiment, suggesting that sellers are beginning to exert stronger 
control over the price action. Related Reading: BNB Price Breakout Could 
Trigger ATH Rally Repeat – Is $730 The Next Stop? According to Anderson, the 
200 MA (red line), positioned between $642 and $645, is now acting as a 
dynamic resistance zone overhead. With price trading below this moving 
average, any attempts at recovery may face immediate rejection. He also 
pointed out that the H1 chart confirms the ongoing bearish momentum, with the 
price continuing to trade below both the cyan level and the 200 MA. This 
alignment between the M30 and H1 timeframes strengthens the case for further 
downside movement, especially if the current support at $626.95 fails to hold. 
Until buyers manage to reclaim key resistance levels, the overall outlook 
remains weak, and traders should keep an eye on how the price behaves around 
the current support to gauge the next likely move. BNB’s Price Outlook 
Strengthened By Bullish Continuation Signal Despite the bearish outlook 
presented by Thomas Anderson, eL Zippo expressed a more optimistic stance in 
his latest X tweet regarding BNB. He believes that BNB still has the potential 
to rise in value, challenging the prevailing negative sentiment around its 
recent price action. Related Reading: BNB Price Eyes Comeback: Can It Regain 
Momentum and Rally Higher? EL Zippo’s view is supported by the formation of a 
bullish flag pattern on the chart. This pattern is widely recognized as a 
continuation signal, indicating that the asset may resume its prior upward 
trend after a period of consolidation. For eL Zippo, the presence of this 
structure suggests that BNB could be setting up for another leg higher if 
market conditions align. At the time of writing, BNB was trading around the 
$623 mark, reflecting steady price action. The asset’s market capitalization 
stood at approximately $87.7 billion, signaling strong investor interest. 
Additionally, BNB recorded a 24-hour trading volume of roughly $1.8 billion, 
with price and volume showing percentage gains of 2.11% and 13.22%, 
respectively—an indication of renewed activity and positive sentiment in the 
market. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has once again landed at an important support level that places it in view 
of a rebound upwards or at risk of a further 20% crash. According to technical 
analyst CasiTrades, the recent drop was anticipated for weeks, and the 
precision with which XRP touched the $2.01 zone has added weight to its 
importance. The analyst noted that the drop out of the symmetrical triangle 
consolidation was clean and technically sound, and the $2.01 level has so far 
acted as the level for an upward bounce. Technical Setup Says Danger Zone 
Below $2.00 Still Active XRP price action in the past few days has been marked 
by a downtrend. XRP lost the $2.13 price level over the weekend before 
eventually cascading to a crash below $2 in the past 24 hours. Particularly, 
XRP crashed to bottom out at $1.92 before staging a rebound back above $2, at 
least at the time of writing. Related Reading: XRP To End 7-Month 
Consolidation After 700% Surge – Is A Major Move Coming? As it stands, XRP is 
now back to trading at $2.01, a price level that holds utmost importance for 
its price action in the coming days. According to a technical analysis posted 
on the social media platform X by crypto analyst CasiTrades, $2.01 is 
important for XRP, as it coincides with a major 0.618 Fib support level. 
Supporting this view is a visible bullish divergence forming on both the 
15-minute and 1-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI), as depicted on the price 
chart below. However, the analyst was quick to warn that confirmation is still 
lacking on the higher 4-hour and daily timeframes. Without these 
confirmations, the bounce could still be nonexistent, and XRP could crash 
strongly below $2. XRP is currently at risk unless buyers manage to push its 
price into higher confirmation zones, specifically into the $3.00 range. 
According to CasiTrades, if any bounce at $2.01 fails to carry through, XRP 
could be headed for its next supports at $1.90 and then $1.55. The latter 
represents a rough 23% drop from current levels, a scenario that would 
invalidate the bullish RSI divergence on the smaller timeframes. Geopolitical 
Tensions Causing XRP Price Volatility The timing of XRP’s sharp drop over the 
weekend coincided with reports of geopolitical unrest, particularly the 
reported bombing of Iran by the US. This event caused widespread volatility in 
the crypto market, which was opened over the weekend. Related Reading: Why The 
XRP Price Risks A Crash To $0.9 As Bearish Pressures Mount Although the 
decline seems to be pausing in recent trading hours, it does not yet qualify 
as a bounce. XRP price is currently fragile, and without a reaction from 
buyers or confirmation across higher timeframes, the structure is bearish. 
Selling pressure from new geopolitical tensions or algorithmic moves could 
potentially lead to deeper declines during the new week, especially if $2.00 
fails to hold. In that case, XRP could be on track to retest the $1.90 support 
and even collapse toward the $1.55 before the end of the week. At the time of 
writing, XRP is trading at $2.01, down by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. Featured
