Binance Coin Consolidates Above $260 as Buyers Challenge Resistance at $300

Binance Coin (BNB) price is still in a downtrend as buyers try to break the 21-day line SMA.

Binance Coin price long term forecast: bearish

Since September 6, buyers have failed to keep the BNB price above the moving average lines. On September 10, the altcoin rallied above the moving average lines but was rejected at the $300 resistance zone. 

BNB would have regained the overhead resistance at $332 if buyers had overcome the current resistance at $300. Binance Coin is now fluctuating below the moving average lines. If BNB turns down from the moving average lines, the altcoin will fall to the current support at $261.50. The downside momentum will extend to the price level of $220 or $244 if the current support is broken.
