BNB swung sharply between gains and losses in a volatile 24-hour stretch. The token dropped to an $872 low earlier before rallying to $884 and then seeing a sharp reversal wipe out those gains.

The initial drop took BNB from around $880.50 to a low of $871.99. From there, the token staged a comeback, peaking near $884.60 before selling pressure brought it back down to its current level at $873.6.

That rebound came on a wave of trading activity, with volume spiking to nearly 60,000 tokens, particularly around $876, a level that acted as key support during the session, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model.

However, things quickly turned around for the token, which fell more than $5 in just minutes on a volume spike that coincided with a broader market sell-off. That drop came after reports that Israel launched an attack against Hamas’ leadership in Qatar.

While the broader crypto market fell, the price of gold saw a bump that saw futures near a new record at $3,700 an ounce, while gold-backed cryptocurrencies PAXG and XAUT hit highs of before dropping back.

Meanwhile, CoinDesk Data’s latest Exchange Review report revealed that Binance saw $2.63 trillion in futures trading volume last month, a new monthly record. Along with Bybit and Crypto.com, it was one of the largest exchanges by spot trading volume.

BNB can be used to pay for trading fees on Binance, allowing users to get a 25% trading discount on fees being paid. It’s also the native token of the BNB Chain.
