BNB Plunges 11.6% Before Staging Massive Recovery Amid Trump Tariff Concerns
The cryptocurrency market is navigating turbulent waters as geopolitical tensions and trade policies reshape investor sentiment. BNB's recent price action, featuring a 13.2% trading range, highlights the heightened volatility affecting digital assets.
Technical analysis reveals key support around $540-$545 and resistance at $565-$570, with trading volumes spiking during both selloffs and recovery phases, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data.
The implementation of new tariffs under President Trump's administration has created a ripple effect across financial markets. Initially, bitcoin showed a negative correlation with equities as trade war rhetoric emerged, but this relationship shifted as risk-off sentiment took hold. According to Binance Research, "Should macro conditions stabilize, new narratives take hold, or crypto reassert its role as a long-term hedge – renewed growth could follow."
Meanwhile, BNB Chain continues to expand its ecosystem, recently announcing 16 early-stage projects selected for Season 9 of its Most Valuable Builder Accelerator Program. This initiative aims to support Web3 builders with resources needed to thrive within the BNB Chain ecosystem, aligning with its mission to onboard the next billion Web3 users.
BNB experienced significant price turbulence, with an 11.6% drop from $589.78 to $521.16 before recovering to $585.61.
The overall trading range of $68.62 (13.2%) demonstrates exceptional volatility in recent sessions.
Key support established around $540-$545 with resistance at $565-$570.
Volume analysis shows intense selling pressure during the initial decline, followed by substantial accumulation during recovery.
April 9th surge featured volumes exceeding 199,000 units, indicating strong buying interest.
The formation of a bullish channel since April 7th suggests potential continued upward momentum.
In the last 100 minutes of trading, BNB declined 0.5% from $578.33 to $575.41.
A descending channel formed with significant selling pressure emerging around 11:03.
The $575.00-$575.50 zone has established itself as a critical support area with multiple tests.

Trumpworld Is Fighting Over 'Official' Crypto Wallet
Jun 4, 2025 1:27 PM The President's sons are feuding with the organization behind the TRUMP memecoin, as both parties claim to be involved in launching Trump-affiliated crypto wallets. Photograph: Bloomberg/Getty Images As Donald Trump and his family stretch into nearly every corner of the cryptocurrency sector, a dispute has broken out over which corporate entities are permitted to wield the Trump brand to promote the crypto products they launch. On Tuesday, the X account for the US president's TRUMP memecoin—which is administered by Fight Fight Fight LLC, formed by longtime Trump ally Bill Zanker—announced plans to launch a crypto wallet and trading platform in partnership with NFT marketplace Magic Eden. The corresponding website, first identified by independent crypto researcher Molly White, pitches the product as 'the official $TRUMP wallet by President Trump.' However, in X posts of their own, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. later repudiated the announcement, which they claimed had not been greenlit by the family. Eric Trump implied that The Trump Organization, the holding company for many of the family's business ventures and intellectual property, could take action against Magic Eden. 'This project is not authorized by [The Trump Organization],' wrote Eric on X. 'I would be extremely careful using our name in a project that has not been approved and is unknown to anyone in our organization,' he added, tagging the Magic Eden handle. In a separate post, Donald Trump Jr. revealed that a separate crypto wallet is under development at World Liberty Financial, a crypto company that he and Eric helped to launch in September last year. 'Stay tuned—World Liberty Financial, which we have been working tirelessly on, will be launching our official wallet soon,' he wrote. World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight did not respond immediately to requests for comment. The White House and Magic Eden declined to comment. Eric Trump did not respond directly to questions from WIRED, saying only, 'I know nothing about this project nor is there any contractual relationship.' To some cryptowatchers, the initial wallet announcement made by Fight Fight Fight had the ring of truth about it, not least because it was coming from the organization behind the TRUMP memecoin. In the last year, despite a chorus of complaints relating to alleged abuses of office and conflicts of interest, the Trump family has forged into almost every segment of the crypto market, from stablecoins, to memecoins, crypto investment products, and bitcoin mining. To launch a crypto wallet appeared to some as a plausible next step: 'It makes perfect sense for anyone who has their eye on where the puck is going,' says Brad Harrison, head of crypto platform Venus Labs. The dispute over the wallets soon to be launched by World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight, though, marks the second time in as many weeks that Trump-affilitated entities have thrown themselves into competition with one another as expansion on multiple fronts complicates the family's crypto empire. On May 27, Trump Media and Technology Group, a publicly traded company in which the Trump family owns a majority stake, announced it had raised $2.5 billion to accumulate a 'bitcoin treasury.' The deal puts the conglomerate in competition with a growing stable of bitcoin accumulation stocks, which act as a substitute of sorts for investing in bitcoin—among them American Bitcoin, the crypto mining firm launched recently by Eric and Donald Trump Jr., which is pursuing a similar strategy. The wallet conflict also underlines the inscrutability of the relationships and interplay between The Trump Organization, Trump Media and Technology Group, World Liberty Financial, American Bitcoin, Fight Fight Fight, and the Trump family. The full ownership structure of Fight Fight Fight is obfuscated by layers of corporate filings unavailable to the public. The X posts by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday appear to allege that, as the leaders of The Trump Organization, they reserve the right to limit the company's use of their family name to the TRUMP memecoin. Meanwhile, though World Liberty Financial has sought to underline its independence from Donald Trump's political affairs—'We're a private company having private-sector conversations,' wrote World Liberty Financial cofounder Zak Folkman in a recent statement—the wallet dispute has underscored its entanglement with the president's family brand. In his X post on Tuesday, Donald Trump Jr. appeared to present the crypto wallet soon to be issued by World Liberty Financial as the real Trump family wallet, as set against what he alleges is the unauthorized Trump-branded wallet backed by Magic Eden. In cryptoland, confusion reigns: 'Not really sure what's real and what's not,' says Tom, the pseudonymous leader of peer-to-peer crypto exchange Raydium. In the wider crypto industry, the ease with which anybody can put any name to an undifferentiated crypto product has long created problems, claims Cory Klippsten, CEO at bitcoin services company Swan Bitcoin. 'In crypto, it's far too easy to spin up scams masquerading as innovation,' alleges Klippsten, 'especially when you can hijack a brand and pump a token before anyone asks who's behind it.'

Musk is 'flat wrong' about Trump tax bill, GOP speaker says
Musk is 'flat wrong' about Trump tax bill, GOP speaker says The House speaker responded to Elon Musk calling Trump's tax bill a 'disgusting abomination' and threatened its supporters with political payback Show Caption Hide Caption Donald Trump doubling tariffs on foreign steel President Trump, during a visit to a U.S. Steel facility in Pennsylvania, announced he will double tariffs on foreign steel to 50%. WASHINGTON – House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was surprised by Elon Musk's blistering opposition to President Donald Trump's sweeping tax bill and that the world's richest man is "flat wrong" about the legislative proposal. Musk in his June 3 tweet called the bill a 'disgusting abomination" that Trump and Johnson helped push through the U.S. House last month by the slimmest of margins and with only GOP support. In 2024, Musk spent more than $250 million to help Trump win back the White House, and now he's threatening political payback against the GOP lawmakers who voted with the president. 'It surprised me, frankly, and I don't take it personal,' Johnson told reporters on June 4 in the U.S. Capitol. 'We don't take it personal. You know, policy differences are not personal. I think he's flat wrong. I think he's way off on this, and I've told him as much, and I've said it publicly and privately. I'm very consistent in that.' More: Elon Musk slams President Trump's big tax and policy bill as a 'disgusting abomination' Johnson added that Musk did 'a 180' to oppose the bill after they left on a 'great note' with the former DOGE adviser's recent departure from the Trump White House. The tiff between Musk and Republicans continued as the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the House bill would add roughly $2.4 million to the deficit over the next decade. The bill would extend Trump's tax cuts, fund Trump's deportation plans and increase defense spending. The tax and policy bill is currently in the Senate, where Trump is lobbying lawmakers as they prepare to make changes to the House-passed measure. Some Republicans have already come out and opposed the cost of the House bill, including Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johenson. 'I agree with Elon,' Paul said in a tweet on June 3 in response to Musk. 'We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake. We can and must do better.' Trump and GOP leaders have set a self-imposed deadline of July 4 to try to get the tax bill through both chambers of Congress and to the president's desk for signature into law.

Republicans scramble to avoid a war with Elon Musk
House Republicans, dismayed by Elon Musk's harsh criticism of President Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill," are now trying to talk their erstwhile ally down from the ledge. Why it matters: With over $400 billion at his disposal, the Tesla and SpaceX owner could drown Republicans in opposition cash. And he's saying GOP lawmakers who voted for the bill should be "fired." House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he called Musk on Tuesday but that the recently departed Trump lieutenant "didn't answer," adding that he hopes to "talk to him today." What we're hearing: Coming out of their closed-door conference meeting, House Republicans projected optimism they can get Musk back on side. "There's a sense that Elon is still learning about the full number of wins in the One Big, Beautiful Bill," another House Republican, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations, told Axios. The lawmaker said House Republicans have "talked to him in the last 24 hours" and "have helped him understand the big picture." Another House Republican told Axios: "I think he'll recognize maybe more than most the challenge that we face when we're trying to cut spending. He simply wants more spending as I understanding. He should know how hard that is." State of play: Musk slammed the bill as a "disgusting abomination" on Tuesday, writing in a post on X, "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." In another post, Musk responded to another user's criticism of the bill writing, "In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people." All but five House Republicans voted for the reconciliation bill last month. Between the lines: Johnson said he had a "great conversation" with Musk on Monday morning, before his social media rampage, and that "it's curious to me what happened this week." The House speaker said Musk told him in that conversation that he would lend support to Republicans in the 2026 elections. Zoom in: There is also simmering anger behind the scenes, with Johnson telling colleagues in the conference meeting that Trump is "pissed off" at Musk, according to a source familiar with his comments. A third House Republican argued that the bill benefits "middle class families and taxpaying, working-class people" and that "maybe that upsets the billionaire class, I don't know." "I think he's flat wrong," Johnson said at his press conference. "I think he's way off on this and I've told him as much."
