If a new increase occurs, the price may encounter resistance near the $245 level. The next resistance is near the $250 level. A clear move above the $250 zone could send the price rising further. In the said case, BNB price could test $265. A close above the USD 265 resistance could set the pace for a bigger rise towards the USD 280 resistance.
Disadvantage correction?
If BNB fails to clear the USD 245 resistance, it could initiate a downward correction. The initial downside support is near the $240 level and the trendline.
The next major support is near the $235 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $222.5 swing low to the $245.8 high. If there is a downside break below the USD 235 support, the price could fall towards the USD 226 support. Any further losses could trigger a bigger decline towards the $220 level.
