Binance Coin Price Drops Over 10%

This week, BNB price saw a strong bearish reaction from the $320 resistance zone. The New York Department of Financial Services ordered Paxos Trust Co. to stop creating more of its BUSD token.

It sparked a bearish wave in BNB and the price declined below the $300 support zone (also sparking bearish moves in bitcoin and ethereum). The price even spiked below the $285 support zone. A low is formed near $283 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is trading below $320 and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $292 zone. It is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $321 swing high to $283 low.

The next major resistance is near the $300 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $305 on the 4-hours chart of the BNB/USD pair. The trend line is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $321 swing high to $283 low.

A clear move above the trend line might send the price towards the $320 resistance. Any more gains might send the price towards the $335 level.

The first major support is near the $282 level. The next major support is near the $275 level. If there is a downside break below the $275 support, there could be an extended decline towards the $250 support.
