BNB price is gaining pace above the $980 zone. The price is now showing positive signs and might aim for a move above the $1,000 handle in the near term.
The bulls even cleared the $980 resistance zone. A new all-time high was formed at $995 and the price is now consolidating gains. There was a minor decline and the price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $948 swing low to the $995 high.
The price is now trading above $980 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. Besides, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support at $960 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair.
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $995 level. The next resistance sits near the $1,000 level. A clear move above the $1,000 zone could send the price higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $1,050. A close above the $1,050 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $1,120 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $1,150 zone in the near term.
If BNB fails to clear the $995 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $980 level. The next major support is near the $970 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $948 swing low to the $995 high.
The main support sits at $960. If there is a downside break below the $960 support, the price could drop toward the $940 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $920 level.
