A record attack on Binance estimated at $6.3 billion shook the crypto market on October 30, 2026. According to CryptoPulsar data, Bitcoin costs $76,899 after a 2.77% drop in 24 hours. Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.68 trillion. Despite reports of a sharp BNB sell-off, the Binance token is up 0.71% over 24 hours, and XRP rises 0.70%. This suggests the first wave of panic after the attack may be fading, although RSI indicators still warn of overbought conditions.
The $6.3B Binance Attack: What Reports Tell Us
According to a Bitcoinist article from October 30, 2026, Binance reported a major security breach estimated at $6.3 billion. The news hit sentiment: reports indicated BNB was falling more than 8%, and Bitcoin approached $77,000. Ethereum was also losing ground.
However, the more recent CryptoPulsar data shows a partial rebound. BNB costs $699.21 and gains 0.71% in 24 hours, while Bitcoin trades at $76,899. This does not mean the risk is gone, but it suggests sellers have not yet dominated the market after the initial shock.
RSS reports indicate Binance plans to resume withdrawals within 34 hours after the attack, and its reserve report is set to be published on Monday. The CFTC chairman linked the incident to his proposal for exchange oversight, and the White House said it would look into the matter. Crypto Briefing also reported that Wall Street analysts saw the post-attack sell-off as an opportunity to buy crypto company stocks.

Deeper Indicator Analysis: RSI, Fear and ETH Flows
CryptoPulsar market cycle indicators say the market is overbought. For Bitcoin, the market cycle score is 29.8 out of 50 points, RSI(14) is 77.8, and the fear and greed index is 30. The funding rate, or the cost of holding positions, is close to neutral at around 0.0054%. This means that although sentiment is scared, price momentum remained strong.
Solana has an even higher RSI: 84.6 at a price of $94.99. CryptoPulsar market cycle data shows more than 100 whale transfers within an hour, including three transactions of about 1 million SOL each. These moves may indicate large packages being moved, potentially to exchanges, and could add supply pressure.
On-chain data for Ethereum shows a net inflow of about 4,041 ETH to exchanges over the last 4 hours. Within one hour, 96 large transfers above 500 ETH were detected, including single moves of about 33,331 ETH and 31,712 ETH. This is additional supply that could have weighed on the price. Funding for ETH perpetual contracts was negative at -0.01%.
For XRP, daily RSI(14) is 90.7, a strong overbought signal. At the same time, MACD and the EMA 9/21 crossover remain bullish. For BNB, RSI is 73.5. On-chain, there are 5 transfers above 300 BNB, the largest at 1,069 and 714 BNB, with daily DEX volume around $903 million.
CryptoPulsar data shows that despite the Binance attack and a 2.77% BTC drop, total market capitalization still stands at $2.68 trillion, and BNB gains 0.71%. BTC's market cycle score is 29.8/50 points with an RSI of 77.8, which indicates overbought conditions, but a fear index of 30 may favor a stabilization attempt. This is not a buy or sell signal.
