Tron (TRX) vs. Binance Coin (BNB): Price Outlook

Tron Breaking Resistance

On Dec 17, 2018, the price of TRX began a rapid upward movement. It reached a high of $0.035 on Jan 10, 2019. A gradual decrease followed. A horizontal support line is traced at $0.0217 and while a horizontal resistance line is traced at $0.315. Together, these generate the horizontal channel outlined in the graph below: Horizontal Channel TRX The price has touched both the resistance and the support lines of the channel four times. On May 11, after touching the support line, the price began an increase towards the resistance line of the channel. Wick highs on May 15 and May 16 caused the price to break out above the channel. Similar wick highs above the resistance line were experienced in April and January.

Binance Coin Back In the Middle

After reaching a low of $6.03 on Jan 10, Binance Coin began trading along an upward facing support line. A resistance line was formed in mid-February. Since then, the price of BNB/USD has been trading inside a broadening ascending wedge:
BNB Outlook
On May 9, the resistance line was validated. Since then, the price has been rising toward the resistance line and has is currently in the middle of the wedge. The price has increased by a massive 344% since the wedge formed.

Tron’s Short-Term Ascending Channel

To better determine future price fluctuations for TRX, we have traced an ascending support line the graph below. It begins on May 14 when a low of $0.023 was reached.
TRX Ascending Support
On May 16, the price of TRX broke down from the wedge. If this breakdown was legitimate, it may signify that TRX may drop toward the long-term support channel traced in the previous section. In better assess the validity of the breakdown, we trace price and trading volume alongside each other below: Support Line Breakdown The breakdown occurred with very significant volume. This indicates that the sellers have strength and further decreases are likely to occur. No viable trading setups were identified for TRX.

Binance Coin’s Ascending Channel

As with TRX, we now analyze BNB along a shorter timeframe to predict future price fluctuations. On May 10, the price of BNB reached an hourly high of $19.8. A decrease ensued, and the price reached a low of $18.4 the next day. Since then, it has been trading inside the ascending channel outlined below:
BNB Ascending Channel
At the time of writing, the price is trading very close to the support line of the channel. If it continues falling, it is likely to validate the line. However, the price may rebound to the resistance line before reaching support. To determine which is more likely, the price of BNB is analyzed at daily intervals from Feb 1 to May 16 alongside the RSI and the MACD below: Bearish Divergence Bearish divergence is emerging in both the MACD and RSI. This suggests that the price is more likely to continue its fall to the support line than rebound toward the resistance line. It is possible that the price may breakdown from the support line once it is reached. If this occurs, the price is likely to continue falling toward the support line of the long-term broadening wedge traced in the first section. If the price reaches the long-term support line, we will assess a possible long trade setup. Until then, we do not see any profitable trading setups.

Conclusion

TRX and BNB are trading in distinct long- and short-term patterns.

In the short-term, TRX recently broke down from an ascending support line. The breakdown occurred with significant volume, indicating that further decreases may be in store.

BNB, on the other hand, is trading inside a short-term ascending channel. However, it has generated long-term bearish divergence.

Therefore, we believe that both BNB and TRX will see price decreases over the next few days. We came to this conclusion because of the breakdown in the case of TRX, and the bearish divergence in BNB.

However, since a breakdown has already occurred in TRX, we believe that the succeeding decreases will be smaller.
