BNB Price Behavior

BNB/USDT was seen running with strong gains on Friday, seen up over 6% at the time of writing. The bulls maintained upside momentum after a chunky pullback at the start of the week. Selling pressure was initially encountered on Monday, when the price ran into a strong trend line of resistance. This was the upper part of an ascending wedge pattern formation.

BNB/USDT daily chart.

The price has been contained within the above-mentioned wedge since early December 2018. This came following the chunky selling pressure from November – December, which hit the entire market. BNB/USDT since has demonstrated a strong recovery, a clear change in trend, as can be seen via the daily chart view.

At present, BNB/USDT the price is running at its fourth consecutive session in the green, having gained around 12%. It does appear that the bulls are pushing for another retest of the upper trend line, which makes up the wedge. This is currently tracking around $7.15, a near-term area of demand can also be observed here, between $7.15-25.

Technical Review – BNB/USDT

As earlier discussed, the next major target area for the bulls will be to break down $7.00-$7.20. Should this be breached, it could very well open the door to a stronger wave of buying pressure. Further north, eyes will be on $8.00-$8.10, the high area seen between 17-19th November 2018. Finally, a return to the pre-November fall levels could then be seen, which is up at the psychological $10 territory.
In terms of support, this can be observed at the lower acting trend line of the wedge, tracking at $5.9500. A break lower would expose the pattern, inviting a high intensity of selling pressure. Eyes would then be on a retest of the below demand area, which is the December 2018 low region. This can be observed tracking from $4.50–$4.00.
