Key Takeaways
The BNB price has fallen since its all-time high of $793.86 in December 2024. While the price briefly stopped its decline on Feb. 3 and bounced, it could not sustain the rally and has fallen again.
Today, the BNB price risks a breakdown from a long-term ascending parallel channel. Doing so will confirm that the bear market has started. Let’s examine the charts and see how likely this is.
The weekly time frame BNB chart shows that the price has fallen by nearly 30% since its all-time high of $793.86 in December 2024. On top of the price decline, the downward movement is important for two more reasons:
A breakdown from this channel will confirm that the long-term trend is bearish, taking the BNB price to $440.
Technical indicators support this bearish BNB prediction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) generated bearish divergences (orange) before the decline.
Then, the RSI declined below 50 while the MACD made a bearish cross. So, the weekly time frame is decisively bearish, predicting a crash to $440.
The decline in BNB activity metrics mirrors this bearish outlook. The BNB chain enjoyed a resurgence after a memecoin frenzy inspired by co-founder Changpeng Zhao’s dog reveal.
Since then, token trading volume, fees, and revenue have fallen precipitously. So has the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) volume , suggesting the increase was a one-off event rather than a sign of sustainable growth.
The wave count is also bearish, aligning with the price action and indicator readings. The most likely count suggests BNB has completed a five-wave upward movement that started in June 2022 and ended with an all-time high in December 2024.
If so, the price has started an A-B-C correction that will retrace the entire movement. Based on the length of the previous increase, the correction can continue until June 2026.
A breakdown from the channel will confirm that wave A has started. A likely target for the bottom of wave A is at $440, coinciding with a long-term horizontal support area.
Then, the BNB price can begin to wave B toward $660, creating a lower high before another decline. Then, wave C can end at the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement support level at $312. While the exact values for the highs and lows can become clearer, this can be a general outline of the future movement.
Alternatively, closing above $660 will mean the BNB price is still in a bullish trend. This currently seems unlikely.
The BNB price has fallen since its all-time high and has likely completed its bullish cycle.
A breakdown from the ascending parallel channel will confirm this, taking the BNB price to $440. This could mark the end of the correction’s first portion.
