BNB isn’t selling off because traders are panicking; it’s selling off because liquidity providers are nudging price down into demand pockets. The move from 915 → 896 wasn’t impulsive it was a controlled unwind. Every leg lower paused long enough to refill bids, which is how market-makers accumulate without chasing.

The interesting part isn’t the red candles, it's the order book skew: 83% of liquidity is sitting on the bid side, yet spot prints are dragging toward the lower end of the short-term range. That tells you two things: (1) buyers want fills, and (2) dealers don’t want to hand them cheap entries without some volatility first.

The range itself (896–918) isn't noise it’s inventory management. Above 918, offers get thin fast, which is why price got rejected on the first test instead of grinding. Below 897, the bids stack thick enough that a complete breakdown becomes expensive for liquidity providers.

Right now BNB isn’t trending it’s being positioned. Once the accumulation pocket is done, direction will flip faster than the chart implies. Traders who only watch candle color miss that part.
