BNB Ready To Breakout? New ATH Coming ‘In No Time’ If This Resistance Breaks
BNB is among today’s market leaders after seeing a 5% surge in the past 24 hours. Amid its recent performance, the token is retesting key levels, leading some market watchers to forecast new highs could be around the corner.
BNB Retest Key Resistance Levels
On Monday, BNB crowned itself as one of the best-performing tokens among the top 100 cryptocurrencies after climbing back to a key level, attempting to break from its downtrend.
The token has retraced around 20% since hitting its all-time high (ATH) of $793 on December 5, 2024, losing the $700 support zone amid the Q1 market retraces. Since February, its price has hovered between the $500-$700 range, hitting a 6-month low in February.
During last Monday’s correction, the cryptocurrency retested the range lows again, briefly touching $510 before bouncing. Nonetheless, the token has recovered 18% from last week’s bottom, hitting a monthly high.
Notably, BNB attempted to reclaim the $600 level over the weekend, failing to hold it until Sunday night. The cryptocurrency surged 7.7% in the following hours, hitting $643 on Monday morning before retracing.
Crypto analyst Carl Runefelt pointed out that after reclaiming the $600-$620 horizontal level, the token targets its three-month descending resistance line at around $650. According to Runefelt, the token has “all the chances” to break this downtrend line once it “gains some foothold” above the recently reclaimed horizontal levels
Meanwhile, AMCryptoAlex highlighted that BNB broke out of an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern following its performance. Alex also noted that the token surged above the $620 barrier, printing “consistent green candles above the crucial resistance level,” which suggests that it is “primed for more upside.”
BNB Chain Surpasses Solana’s DEX Volume
Ted Pillows also affirmed that BNB’s chart looks promising, with a “double-bottom pattern along with fundamentals getting better.”
The analyst highlighted that the BNB Chain has surpassed Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) volume in the past 24 hours, which could fuel the token’s rally to reclaim the $640 level. To him, “Once that happens, BNB will hit a new ATH in no time.”
According to DeFiLlama data, BNB Chain’s trading volume surged to $1.64 billion on Sunday, surpassing Solana’s $1.07 billion registered on March 16. The network’s DEX trading volume has also increased by 13.27% over the past week, ranking third during this timeframe.
The surge seems to be fueled by its recent memecoin frenzy, which has been driven by tokens like Mubarak (MUBARAK). The token has seen a trading volume of around $300 million in the past 24 hours, with its price surging 99% in the past day.
Meanwhile, Solana’s network has been experiencing bearish sentiment from crypto investors following the performance of TRUMP and MELANIA, the memecoins of the US President and First Lady, and the crash of the Argentina-backed LIBRA token.
At the time of writing, BNB trades at $627, a 4.18% surge in the daily timeframe.
