Extreme fear in crypto
The downtrend in BNB has been going on for the last couple of days. It accompanies a general negative trend in the overall crypto markets. In fact in the last 24 hours, the global crypto markets have once again crashed to $1.22 trillion while the prices of several top cryptos including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana and XRP have fallen (read details here). The general negative trend and a prevailing “extreme fear” sentiment in the market may also be pushing the BNB price down further.
