BNB Price Holds Support

The next resistance sits near the $740 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $795 swing high to the $688 low. A clear move above the $740 zone could send the price higher.
In the stated case, BNB price could test $750. A close above the $750 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $785 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $800 level in the near term.
