BNB Hits New Highs Without Peak Usage: What’s Next?

2025/10/06 21:46

BNB has reached a new record price, trading near $1,200 with a daily trading volume of over $3 billion. The token rose 3% in the last 24 hours and 20% over the past week, extending a strong upward trend.

Market observers note that price momentum is outpacing network activity, suggesting further room for growth if usage increases.

Price Growth Outpaces Network Activity

Bull Theory noted that BNB has grown from $0.50 at launch to over $1,192, delivering a +238,300% return with an average annual increase of around 167%. Despite setting a new price high, network activity on BNB Chain remains below its previous peak levels.

Current on-chain data shows $8.33 billion in total value locked (TVL), a $13.46 billion stablecoin market cap, and $4.39 billion in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) volume. Active addresses reached 2.32 million, with 18.79 million transactions in 24 hours. Bull Theory commented,

Consequently, this indicates that confidence and liquidity are leading the move rather than direct on-chain demand. If BNB Chain activity expands to match the token’s market strength, network fundamentals could support continued price growth.

Bull Theory summed up the current setup, saying,

Technical Indicators Show Strong Momentum

According to Mags, BNB recently broke out of a long consolidation phase between $640 and $660. That range acted as a base for the current rally. The next resistance area is around $1,513, while $639 and $662 are now viewed as support.

Notably, technical readings support the ongoing uptrend. The MACD line is slightly above the signal line, showing sustained buying pressure. The RSI is at 74, above the 70 level, which signals strength but also suggests the market could cool off in the short term.

BNB’s price movement remains in a clear upward trend, supported by consistent volume and stable support levels. Analysts note that while the asset trades at record highs, the chain itself has not yet reached the previous usage level.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
