On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $850 level. The next resistance sits near the $855 level and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $864 swing high to the $842 low. A clear move above the $855 zone could send the price higher.
In the stated case, BNB price could test $865. A close above the $865 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $880 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $888 level in the near term.
Another Decline?
If BNB fails to clear the $855 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $845 level. The next major support is near the $842 level.
The main support sits at $835. If there is a downside break below the $835 support, the price could drop toward the $820 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $800 level.
