Binance Coin price ready to move higher

Binance Coin (BNB) price consolidated between the $200 to $220 range for roughly three months, with an occasional revisit of the $228 hurdle. The recent spike in buying pressure has pushed BNB from $210 to a local top of $238 between October 19 and 24.

As investors began booking profits on this rally, Binance Coin price retraced nearly 7% and currently exchanges hands at $226. Going forward, this pullback is likely going to steepen, allowing BNB to retest the $220 support floor while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) tags the 50 mean level.

This development will allow bullish momentum to replenish and provide sidelined buyers an opportunity to accumulate. As a result, Binance Coin price is likely to kick-start its ascent to overcome the $228 resistance level and tag the $253 hurdle.

In total, this move would constitute a 15% gain. The upside is for now capped at ths mentioned $253.

While the bullish outlook for Binance Coin price is in line with the current market conditions, a sudden spike in selling pressure could prove fatal for bulls. A sell-off that pushes BNB below $220 could threaten a retest of the critical support floor of $212.

A daily candlestick close below this level will invalidate the bullish thesis for Binance Coin price. In such a case, BNB could drop 5% and revisit the October 9 swing low of $202.
