A recent report from AMBCrypto documented BNB’s stagnation over the past six weeks. While there have been short-term momentum moves, the market has lacked a steady trend. This was unlikely to change this week.

BNB’s H4 market structure reversed bearish a day before the time of writing. The recent higher low at $211.4 was broken on Tuesday (October 17). Moreover, BNB has made a lower high at $213.9, and the RSI also fell below neutral 50.
This reflected a shift in momentum towards bearishness. The bullish order block in H4 at $205, next to the range low at $204, is expected to serve as support again. A retest of this zone would provide a buying opportunity.
The price action is simple. Although the H4 structure favored the bears, a rebound from the $205 support zone was worth betting on with low risk. Traders should be careful with their position size in case of a drop below $202, which would invalidate the idea.
