BNB volumes have dried up as the token has spent weeks hovering above $600. Volatility spiked to the fourth-highest level in five years, anticipating a strong move ahead. BNB could either rally to $800 or drop to $520, depending on whether the $600 support holds… Or not. Trading volumes remain quite low, with only $1.9 billion worth of BNB exchanging hands in the past 24 hours.

This figure accounts for just 2.3% of the token’s circulating market cap and indicates weak interest in the asset. On-chain data from CoinGlass shows that open interest (OI) in BNB futures has declined to its lowest level since July 2025, back when the price started to rally toward its current all-time high. Trading volumes have also dropped to their lowest level since then, indicating little participation at a point when the price action appears to be stalled. These are the conditions that typically set the stage for a massive move.

As the prevailing trend is bearish, the most likely scenario would be a drop below the $600 support to flush out optimistic traders who have opened a long position with the expectation that BNB has hit a potential local or cycle bottom. Data from Santiment shows that BNB’s 4-week volatility has spiked recently, printing the four-highest reading of the past 5 years. The last time this happened, BNB stood at $600 and dropped to $500 shortly afterward. In previous instances, the opposite occurred, as BNB rose from $200 to $325 in just two months.
