BNB Eyes $400 Amid Strong Support at 200 DMA
Since February 2021, Binance started to rise from its stagnation period of price range under $ 50. Binance has risen over 600% and touched a high of Approx $ 350 on 19 February 2021 within 20 trading days. After price correction amid some profit booking, it has been trading within the range of $ 250 to $ 325 and seems to be consolidating.
It has been trying hard to break the resistance presented around $400 zones and the recent high of $ 380 is still far from the all-time highs of $692, made on 10th May 2021.
The price is currently hovering near the range of $330 – $350, which is way above its 200 Simple Daily Moving Average. This moving average line is acting as strong support, and it should be considered as an indication of strength in the token. The possibility of a value breakdown is possible only if it breaks the strong support offered by 200 DMA with a significantly higher volume.
Traders are advised to stay cautious as multiple tokenomics factors also influence the price actions of this cryptocurrency. People willing to take a long position on this asset are advised to wait for a breakout from this trading zone and let the price cross the psychological level of $400.
As MACD can also be seen way below the histogram and also showing a bit of consolidation in this range for the time being. But a crossover between the two lines would indicate a strong upward momentum in the value of this cryptocurrency.
It is advised for short-term traders to wait as the value of BNB can move for a breakout at current price levels. Although small resistance cannot be ruled out, the strength presented by its upward momentum combined with significant volume is indicating an upward rally in the short term.
At the same time, it is also advised to be cautious if BNB breaks its short-term support levels placed around 280. Breaking the immediate support will indicate subsequent weakness in the coin and make it harder for this cryptocurrency token to give a breakout.
RSI is also oscillating within the consolidation zones and it will have to break that zone for making a strong momentum in either direction. Considering the buying pressure at the current ranges, BNB portrays the potential for an upward breakout.
