⬤ Binance Coin (BNB) has pulled back sharply from recent highs and is now testing a critical support zone around $600, while technical indicators flash warning signals not seen in years. The monthly stochastic oscillator has dropped to levels even lower than the 2022 bear market bottom—marking just the second time this extreme oversold condition has appeared in the past three years.
⬤ The chart reveals BNB hovering near its previous all-time high breakout area in the $600 range. After surging above $1,000 earlier, the token reversed course with back-to-back bearish candles, dragging price back down to what was once resistance but now acts as potential support. The stochastic has plunged deep into oversold territory, signaling intense selling pressure rather than just routine pullback noise.
⬤ The last time the stochastic hit comparable levels was during 2022's market capitulation, when BNB carved out a major bottom before staging a recovery. This makes the current setup look less like a normal correction and more like momentum exhaustion. While price still sits above previous cycle lows, the momentum picture mirrors the kind of extreme bearish sentiment typically seen at turning points. As the analyst noted, "The stochastic oscillator is now even lower than it was at the 2022 bear market bottom." You can explore more context in BNB price analysis and crypto market trend analysis.
⬤ Extreme momentum squeezes like this often come before big volatility moves in crypto. With BNB testing multi-year support while indicators hit rare lows, how the market responds here could set the tone for broader crypto direction in the weeks ahead.
