$BNB closed $699.54 — the first hourly close under $700 in four days. The 67-close streak is dead.

The tape: 16:00 UTC closed $703.40 — that was close #67 above the line. Then 17:00 UTC: O $703.40 → H $704.01 → L $697.37 → C $699.54 on $3.89M. First closed hour under $700 since Oct 30 21:00 UTC's $696.71.

The forming 18:00 hour is live and unclosed — its 19:00 UTC close (00:30 IST) is the verdict, not a level: O $699.54 → wicked $701.58 back above the line, got sold → L $697.60 → printing $697.76. Buyers knocked once and got rejected inside the hour.

Live: $697.76, -1.7% 24h, H $716.00 / L $697.37 (fresh 24h low), $77.1M / 538k trades. Chart: 1h RSI 34, pinned under EMA20 $706.41 / EMA50 $708.39, R $717.75 / S $700.40.

Rank #4, $91.7B, 131.5M circ, 7d -6.3% / 30d -11.6%, -49.1% off $1,369.99 ATH.

Driver: no fresh timed headline — this is the hack-wash overhang doing the work. Withdrawals have now hit $4.7B since the $6.3B theft (Seeking Alpha, ~3h ago), up from $3.6B a day earlier (BBC/Guardian). BNB remains the coin most tied to Binance itself, and it's bleeding while majors hold better.

Honest other side: one close under, not two — 46 cents is real but thin. The $697.37 wick recovered within the hour. $680 ate real selling twice. Sunday-evening volume, not a flush bar ($3.89M vs the day's $5.9M). One hourly close back above $700 unwrites this chapter.

New lines: $700 broken (hourly close back above = reclaim attempt two); $697.37 24h low (closed hour below = deeper air); $680 flush low (closed bar below = real deep water); $706–708 EMA stack overhead.

Not a call. Just the tape.

00:30 IST question: does the 18:00 hour close back above $700 and kill this, or does the $701.58 wick stand as the first failed reclaim?
