Since mid-April, BNB has been in a downward trend on the lower timeframe charts, especially the 4-hour chart. The second half of May brought BNB into extensive price consolidation within $315.5 – $303.
The close-range formation extended into early June, but sellers shredded the $303 low after BTC lost $27,000 on June 4. In addition, a trendline resistance extends from mid-April, indicating that BNB has yet to reverse its downtrend.
With the higher time frames also solidly bearish, sellers may continue to monitor BNB. Heading south, the $294 and $286 levels are worth watching as the $300 psychological and support level bursts.
Alternatively, bulls may gain some leverage as BNB moves close to the low $303 range. However, they need to clear the mid-range confluence area and trendline resistance near $309 to target the high range at $315.5. Such an uptick could be likely if BTC regains $27,000 and rises.
Meanwhile, the RSI hit the oversold zone while the OBV fell, highlighting a significant drop in buying pressure and demand.
