Binance Coin Market vs Macroeconomics
The early half of August is highly regarded by both cryptocurrency investors and time-honored finance as major economic indicators are set to be announced. past With six indicators flashing red or neutral, the question remains whether the next few will be bullish for the broader financial world.
But last week the Federal Open Market Committee held against cutting interest rates as inflation was still “somewhat elevated.” But that cleared the way for rate cuts in September as inflation slows, helping the market gradually gain ground over the longer term.
While the market remains somewhat positive about a September cut, it has since weakened as the broader market falls and investor anxiety remains high. S&P500 AND Dow Jones fell by almost 2%.
This has further exacerbated the market correction in the cryptocurrency market. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency market is Down over 2% in the last 24 hours. BNB has not been spared, with BNB Chain metrics falling amidst the market recession.

BNB Key Level Remains, But For How Long?
The negative market environment is slowly fading, but given the current macroeconomic uncertainty, the question remains whether BNB bulls will be able to continue to stem the downward trend.

If this can be sustained, BNB bulls will have a robust starting point to rebound from the slow July levels of $558.
