BNB/USD Daily Chart: Ranging

BNB/USD Daily Chart

BNB formed a lower high and a higher low trend this same past week. This established a symmetrical triangle nearby. A breakout beyond the triangle resistance will also grapple with the $17 resistance despite the RSI shift past 50. The volume is growing even though it’s bearish, implying sellers have the advantage. In ensuring the bullish interest holds stable as BNB continues breaching the $20.3 barrier, the RSI must proceed to shift upward to 70.

On the south side, alternatively, the first important horizontal support line is $15.41, supported by $14.50, once the price of Binance Coin drops. The bearish correction is inclined to maintain once it is unable to strengthen this support. However, once BNB discovers solid footing the prices are projected to bounce back strongly.

Glancing at the short-term trend, Binance Coin is consolidating on the 4-hour time frame, as selling pressure briefly picks up with fairly high trading volume. The latest declines tested southside at $15.9, giving room to potential reversal. The initial upside is confined by the initial resistance of $16.3. At the same time, MA 200 and MA 50’s short-term alignment prevents advancement past $16.50.

Currently, the BNB price has surpassed the $16 level, and the gains are being consolidated. When the price falls below the lower boundary of the ascending trendline, this might trigger a bearish ripple and more support could be seen at $14.50, $14.00, and further below.
