The rebound came as the uncertainty associated with a flare-up between U.S. president Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk that triggered a sell-off for risk assets started fading.
BNB Chain’s fundamentals have been improving. Daily active users jumped 26.4% to 1.2 million, while revenue in Q1 2025 grew 58% from the previous quarter to $70.8 million, according to a Messari report.
Technical charts show BNB hit resistance around $657 after heavy buying at the $650 level. A critical pivot now lies at $654, with traders eyeing U.S. inflation data, due to be released this Wednesday, for cues on the next move.
