BNB “Coin” Finds a “Base”, but This Price Ceiling Must Break for a Possible Rally

by

Ah, the thrilling dance of BNB! A coin that’s been consolidating like a hesitant ballroom partner after its sudden plunge on October 10. As of now, it lazily lounges around $1,180 – a mere 1.7% dip in the last 24 hours, but don’t be fooled by this dainty drop. It’s still up a solid 27.8% from last month, like a seasoned investor who knows how to hold its ground. And now, the question on every trader’s lips: Can it leap higher from its modest base near $1,143? Time will tell, but the air is thick with suspense.

The mood is one of uncertainty after weeks of explosive gains, only to be followed by some classic profit-taking. But lo and behold, on-chain data is whispering a seductive little secret – BNB may have found its local bottom. But whether we can call this a confirmed bottom depends on whether buyers can hold their ground and smash through the nearest ceiling (resistance), which is proving to be quite the formidable foe.

Profitability and Exchange Flows Hint at Accumulation Near the Base

Let’s talk numbers, shall we? The MVRV ratio (Market Value to Realized Value) is the key to understanding who’s winning this battle. When it’s high, it’s usually a signal that investors are basking in profits – a bit too comfortably, perhaps. But when it drops, that’s when the real action happens, as the selling pressure cools off and a new base might be taking shape.

On October 7, BNB peaked at $1,300, and the MVRV ratio hit a soaring 2.40, an obvious sign of “Hey, we might be at the top!” But then, the inevitable happened: a 15.7% plunge to $1,100, and voila – the MVRV ratio dipped to a more moderate 2.00. This drop was eerily similar to the local low on October 4, right before the price rebounded by 15% in just two days. Classic BNB.

Fast forward to today, and the MVRV has settled around 2.10 with the price just chilling at $1,160. Seems like it might be gearing up for another round of base-building.

Meanwhile, in the world of exchange flows, we see BNB tokens moving off exchanges like it’s nobody’s business. Between October 11 and 15, the outflows jumped from -731,363 BNB to -798,780 BNB, a rise of 9.2%. That’s about 67,000 BNB, if you’re counting. This exodus of tokens hints at a quiet accumulation – traders seem to be quietly moving their assets out of exchanges, and into places where they can potentially grow. But don’t get too comfy; there might be more hidden reasons behind this movement.

When you combine these two signs – cooling profitability and rising outflows – it starts to look like BNB is slowly and surely building an accumulation zone between $1,143 and $1,180. All it needs now is a solid push higher, if the support holds.

BNB Price Levels to Watch During Consolidation

Here’s where things get interesting. BNB’s been comfortably sitting at $1,143, the level that saved it after the October 10 dip. As long as this floor remains intact, it offers a sturdy base for another potential upward swing.

On the upside, $1,238 is the first serious resistance. This level has managed to stop BNB’s rise in the past, like a wall that says, “Nope, not today!” However, considering that BNB’s been hitting new highs recently, there’s not much resistance above $1,238. If it can break through, say hello to a 4.3% rise and possibly the start of another bullish trend.

If BNB manages to bust through $1,238, the next stop could be $1,318, and then it’s all about retesting the previous all-time high of $1,374. Imagine that, dear reader – another shot at greatness!

But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. If that $1,143 base breaks, things could get a bit grim. The next levels to watch would be $1,084 and $991. If BNB falls below those, the recovery setup might be toast. 🥖

The Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator is still slightly tilted in favor of the bears. This means that, while the bulls are trying their best, the bears still have the upper hand, though not by much. It’s like a tug-of-war, but the rope is getting a little slack.

So, with profitability holding steady, exchange outflows rising, and the price keeping steady near support, BNB is at a crossroads. A breakthrough above $1,238 could be the start of something big. Until then, all we can do is wait and watch. Patience is a virtue, after all. Or so they say…
