The BNB price has nearly reached a descending resistance trend line that has been in place since December 2022. Will it break out?

BNB Deviation and Reclaim

The weekly timeframe technical analysis shows that the BNB price has traded between $220 and $350 since April.

The price fell to the bottom of the range in October but has increased since. It had seemingly broken down from the $220 horizontal support area at the time.

The BNB price increase has been swift, leading to a high of $268 this week.

Market traders use the RSI as a momentum indicator to identify overbought or oversold conditions and to decide whether to accumulate or sell an asset.

Readings above 50 and an upward trend indicate that bulls still have an advantage, whereas readings below 50 suggest the opposite.

The RSI is increasing and is above 50, both positive signs.

What Do the Analysts Say?

Cryptocurrency traders and analysts on X believe the long-term BNB price trend is bullish.

JJJCycles said that the BNB price increase, despite the negative Binance news is extremely bullish. He stated that:

While the SEC files a lawsuit against Kraken, Binance coin is moving higher. Currently testing the downtrendline. Break out in the short term here tells you everything you need to know. This market wants to go higher rather than lower.

MAGS noted the same deviation and reclaim of the long-term horizontal range, suggesting that the price will soon begin a massive upward movement above $300. CryptoGodJohn also suggests that the price will move above $300 soon.

MacroCRG has a bullish outlook for BNB, suggesting that the altcoin will catch up to its peers. He stated that:

We gonna get some volatile news flow surrounding Binance short term, so I’d be careful leverage trading $BNB But if the case gets settled soon, all the insolvency FUD is dispelled + Binance are fully in the clear… I can see a rapid $BNB repricing to the upside as it makes up for lost ground against its peers

BNB Price Prediction: Can Price Move to $300?

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) in the daily time frame provides signs of a bullish trend.

The indicator is above 50, generating hidden bullish divergence (green). This is a sign that usually leads to trend continuation.

The price action shows that BNB has moved above the minor resistance at $250. However, it still faces resistance at $270, created by a descending resistance trend line.

If the BNB price breaks out from the trend line, it can increase by 35% and reach the next resistance at $350.

Despite this bullish BNB price prediction, a daily close below the $250 area will invalidate the bullish hypothesis and likely lead to a 20% drop to the closest support at $210.
