BNB's Uptrend Hits a Snag! Examining the Reasons for Traders' Caution
Say hello to the bullish coin, BNB! Here's a lowdown on the binance token's current status and future prospects.
- BNB's recent performance: The Binance Coin (BNB) has managed to rally 8.5% in the last week, although it trails Bitcoin's 6.27% growth. However, compared to Ethereum's 41% surge over the same period, it's not BNB's finest hour.
The lackluster performance meshes well with the predictions in an earlier report, which suggested a dearth of demand that could undermine a breakout beyond the range. Yet, a retest of mid-range support has yet to materialize.
BNB's consolidation near $660 — what you should know
In the daily chart, BNB displays a bullish market structure after breaching the $618 resistance in late April. It then surpassed the $630-$640 zone, bolstering short-term bullish control.
However, the price action has stagnated for five days now. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicates ongoing capital inflows, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) points to an upward trend.
Although optimistic, the Stochastic RSI hints at a possible short-term dip.
The 4-hour chart reveals another short-term range formation. More importantly, it indicates that Binance Coin has been navigated toward liquidity pockets in recent days.
After setting up a range (purple), the exchange token shot up to $693, a 2% surge above the range high. Sixteen hours later, the price dropped by 7.5% to $640.8.
Now what? — More turbulence ahead, tread carefully
Since then, the price has bounced back within the range, albeit without significant capital inflows, according to the CMF. Given this context, further consolidation seems likely.
Cautious traders can consider using a price deviation below the range low to enter long positions. However, a breakout past $678 should be approached with care.

Looking ahead:
- Price Ranges in 2025: Predictions suggest that BNB might trade between $505.61 and $1,087.08, with an average of around $905.90. Another estimation proposes a range of $643.50 to $1,478.33, with an average of $1,090.14. Standard Chartered forecasts BNB to reach $1,275 by year-end.
- BNB's Link to Bitcoin and Ethereum: The price movements of BNB are closely correlated to major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Institutional Investment: Potential launch of a U.S.-listed BNB ETF could draw institutional investment, strengthening the coin's position.
- Binance Ecosystem Developments: Developments within the Binance ecosystem, specifically enhancements in the Binance Chain ecosystem and updates to Binance Smart Chain, could increase the value of BNB.
The road ahead:
- Long-term Projections: By 2028, BNB could potentially reach $2,775 according to Standard Chartered. Another forecast suggests a price range of $2,536.51 to $2,898.87. By 2031, the coin could potentially hit $4,710.66 as it becomes more widely accepted in mainstream finance.
All in all, BNB is anticipated to see growth driven by its links to major cryptocurrencies, institutional investment, and updates within the Binance ecosystem. However, market volatility and broader economic conditions may affect these predictions.
- Despite BNB's 8.5% increase in the past week, it is not as impressive as Ethereum's 41% surge, causing some concern for investors.
- The daily chart depicts BNB's successful breach of the $618 resistance, followed by the overcoming of the $630-$640 zone, reinforcing short-term bullish control.
- The price action in the last five days indicates a stagnation in the market, yet the Chaikin Money Flow and Moving Average Convergence Divergence point towards ongoing capital inflows and an upward trend.
- The Stochastic RSI hints at a possible short-term dip, while the 4-hour chart shows a short-term range formation and a recent price deviation toward liquidity pockets.
- In the near future, BNB might trade between specific price ranges in 2025, with an average of around $905.90 or $1,090.14 according to predictions.
- The price movements of BNB are closely correlated with major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and potential institutional investment from a U.S.-listed BNB ETF could bolster the coin's position. Additionally, developments within the Binance ecosystem could increase BNB's value.
