$BNB was not simply oversold: prices continued to fall while open interest expanded, further reinforcing the early-session “weakness with rising open interest.”

As of 17:05, BNB was around 672.0, down 1.35% over 24 hours, while open interest was up 1.53%. The latest completed 1-hour candle closed at 672.98, still below the EMA20 at around 678.52 and the EMA50 at around 681.48; the 1-hour RSI was around 22.8. Over the same period, $BTC was around 73420, with open interest down 1.85% over 24 hours.

The verifiable facts are that BNB fell as open interest rose, while BTC fell as open interest declined. The market inference is that the long-short bet on BNB is more crowded; being oversold does not mean a bottom is in. There was no formal entry plan in the morning, so no entry was made.

A completed 1-hour candle closing back above 678.5 would ease pressure; holding above 681.5 would signal recovery. If 671.1 gives way, watch 667 and 660. The condition for BTC to hold above 74160 was not met; if 73180 gives way, watch 72690.
