BNB Price Holds Support
After a close above the $585 level, BNB price extended its increase. However, upsides were limited above $610 and the price remained capped unlike Ethereum and Bitcoin.
There was a move below the $605 and $600 levels. The price even dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $543 swing low to the $611 high. However, the price is now holding gains above the $580 level.
The price is now trading above $595 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $595 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair.
If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $605 level. The next resistance sits near the $612 level. A clear move above the $612 zone could send the price higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $620. A close above the $620 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $632 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $650 level in the near term.
More Losses?
If BNB fails to clear the $605 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $595 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $578 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $543 swing low to the $611 high.
The main support sits at $570. If there is a downside break below the $570 support, the price could drop toward the $560 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $550 level.
