Bearish Momentum Sees Sellers Break Key Support Level
The bearish break below the $297 support level signaled a shift in momentum for BNB from bullish to bearish in the short term. Previously, the buying pressure at the $297 support level saw buyers repel sellers early in January.
However, the shift in market sentiment favoured sellers on this occasion with a daily candle close under the previous support, now flipped to resistance.
As such, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell below the neutral 50, posting a reading of 44, as of the time of writing. This revealed the growing selling pressure with a reduction in buyers. A look at the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) showed that it remained above the zero mark, although it registered a significant drop.
This could see the selling pressure sustained in the short term, as buyers bid time before initiating a reversal.
Intraday traders looking to take advantage of this shift in momentum can enter at the current market price of $292 with a short term target of 15% gains at $250. On the flip side, if bulls rally to reclaim the support level, traders can watch out for a bullish candle close above $297 before entering new positions.
This could see BNB drop to the $250-$260 zone before another rally upwards.
