One of The Most Manipulated & Inflated Assets of All TimeBNB has been consistently the best performing crypto asset since its inception in 2017. Since then, it has gone from mere pennies to nearly $700, outperforming both Ethereum and Bitcoin. How is this possible, given that the TOTAL crypto market cap lingers close to its 2017 all-time high, 5 years later?? How is this possible, given that the crypto market itself hasn't sustained much growth since 2017, Binance volume has declined, and given that cryptocurrencies themselves do not provide a necessary in-demand service for society? For an exchange like Binance, trading and gabling is the top priority, not meaningful change to infrastructure, the environment, or fundamental human needs. It's been over 3 years since I've written an article or any sort of analysis on Binance Coin (BNB). Here is one of my last posts from 2019, which includes roughly the same bullish channel shown on the righthand chart of this post: It's quite incredible how well BNB has respected this channel and its trendlines over the years. A Technical Analyst's wet dream. Needless to say, my experience and perspective has changed since 2019, but one thing does remain the same: I believe BNB is heavily manipulated. And it's not really a question; the chain itself is deflationary by design, and there are those at the top who have a vested interest in keeping the value high. It also has enforced demand. Since Binance has become the go-to exchange for many, at first glance it makes sense that BNB continues to outperform the rest of the market. When I first came across BNB at the end of 2017, trading with it was useful because it help reduce fees on Binance. At that time, it was an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network. I had a bad feeling about it, so I couldn't commit to holding the token. From a profit standpoint, of course it was a bad move to let go of my BNB coins. As of April 2019, BNB became its own chain (with a code similar to that of NEO, I believe). Now, it's become an entire ecosystem with a Decentralized Exchange, burn mechanism, lottery system, NFT's, and plenty of other nebulous forms of functionality. Many existing projects also migrated to the Binance "smart chain," some of which migrated from NEO, which at the time shared some tech with the new BNB chain. This likely caused a decline in usage and popularity for NEO, which struggled to maintain relevance next to Binance's marketing and their presence as the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. During this period between 2017 and the present day, BNB is the ONLY relevant cryptocurrency that has continuously made new all time highs against Bitcoin, as far as I'm aware. BNB now maintains a solid position in the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, currently standing at around $45 Billion. HOWEVER As you can see on the above charts, volume has fallen off a cliff. This tells me Binance's price is influenced by very little *authentic* trading. Volatility has also immensely declined. This may have something to do with the banning of crypto trading in China in 2021, as well as other regulatory crackdowns. It remains incredibly likely that BNB would be deemed a security in the eyes of the SEC, since Binance employees receive payment in BNB, and the token itself is often seen as an investment in Binance as a company. Assumably, if the company is doing well, BNB benefits. BNB has all sorts of mechanisms keeping it afloat: Quarterly token burn mechanisms (as mentioned earlier), numerous stabelcoins (some of which operate on the Binance smart chain itself, and recycled profits from other cryptocurrency projects. BNB has sucked market share from almost everything else. How else can something maintain such a high relative value while markets tumble and liquidity evaporates? The only explanation I can come with is that it is being propped up. I've also noticed that BNB generally maintains a positive funding rate on Binance while others have remained negative during the bear market, which may indicate that it has continuous long interest from futures. Now, looking at the recent news, a $500M hack has occurred, right under the nose of Binance, on their very own "smart chain." This is the largest hack experienced by Binance, and it joins the ranks of some of the largest crypto hacks of all time. While hack attempts are surely made in our banking system, it makes one wonder what the precise point is of this "alternative financial system" if it is so susceptible to hacks of this scale. I mean come on, the entire chain was halted. Apparently BNB was originally created as a means to repay customers after a Bitcoin hack in 2017. Now that's pretty interesting, don't you think? Looking at the monthly chart, BNB itself has halted. Price action has essentially flatlined, underneath the 9 month EMA. I expect price to eventually break below or at least test the 50 month MA (red). I'm leaning towards a breakdown here, mostly due to the lack of PA and volume, in addition to my feeling that negative news is likely to continue. It's also important to note the breakdown of the long term uptrend against the dollar, and the lingering at near the top of the bullish channel against Bitcoin. I think price can decline straight back to the $40-50 level, near the breakout point for the last bull run, and at least back to the middle of the channel against Bitcoin. Depending on how badly Binance would be hit by such a crash in BNB price, I will reassess from there. Of course, there is the chance for markets to bounce throughout Q4 of this year, since SPX hit the 200 week Moving Average. There may even be some room for rare optimism from me, depending on how things play out in the coming weeks. Despite this, I believe the house of cards is still likely to continue to fall for crypto. I have very little conviction in this market's durability at the moment. Again, here is the TOTAL market cap chart, showing that the 50 month MA holds as support, likely due to the price performance of coins like ETH and BNB, as well as stablecoin dominance. A crash in BNB would be likely to send other crypto prices lower as traders look for liquidity and the exchange goes into crisis mode. Certain stablecoins like USDT and BUSD may also be in trouble, should that happen, also due to a liquidity crunch. As always, this is meant as speculation! This may not play out at all, and I could just be spouting nonsense. Regardless, it's fun to think about these things. Unlike U.S. banks, a crypto exchange like Binance has very little recourse should it fall. Even people who still believe in the long term viability of Bitcoin will agree - get funds off exchanges. Again, this is not meant as financial advice. The future is not certain. All we can do is speculate and entertain ourselves in this wild world. Thank you for reading. -Victor Cobra Shortby VictorCobraUpdated 5540
A Wolf In White Knight's Clothing - The End of A CartelThe saying is usually "a wolf in sheep's clothing," but you'll see why I reworded it a little further down. The above charts show TRX (Tron) and BNB (Binance Coin) side by side, in what I believe to be distribution ranges after breaking uptrends. Distribution is how these players achieve profit (selling to prospective buyers). I think they will eventually break down massively. If they do not, it means the infinite money scheme, despite its glaring obviousness, has continued to work. All eyes are on them now, so there may be a limit to what they can accomplish now. This is why I think it's very important to pay attention at this moment. Yesterday, I noticed enormous stablecoin outflows from Binance to Coinbase. These were mostly USDC, which is recognized as legitimate in the United States. My speculation is that Binance and other players in the crypto cartel are extracting capital from the markets using liquidity generated by artificial/counterfeit stablecoins, such as USDD and BUSD. USDD is the stablecoin on the Tron network, while BUSD is the stablecoin on the Binance chain. The collapse of FTX of course was probably inevitable, and CZ knew this. In order to distract the market from the larger scheme, he appeared as a "white knight," or a person who appears to come to the rescue, but is only serving self-interest. He is a wolf on the hunt, not a white knight, and certainly not a sheep. CZ (Binance) likely had no intention of buying out FTX, and used the liquidity generated from the pump to dump BNB on the open market. In a similar move, Justin Sun (Tron) allowed some funds to be withdrawn from FTX through the TRX network. Why? It benefits token values and allows for exit liquidity. However, this is merely forced demand. If Binance monopolizes the crypto space, they have cornered the market. This is clearly not decentralization. Now, let's say Binance and other exchanges hope to keep running. What do they need? Buyers. By the very nature of the speculative market, no single player can admit that things are going wrong, or that things have little intrinsic value. If they do, prices will be sent cascading lower in the blink of an eye. Instead, it needs to be a slow unwind. That's why the above charts are significant. At any moment, they could meet the same fate as LUNA or FTT. This is because I think it is very unlikely the crypto market will attract the authentic buyer liquidity required to keep Bitcoin miners afloat and the cartel running. Eventually they will need to decide enough is enough. I think CZ's "white knight" behavior may, in hindsight, be the signal. Will they get away with it? After so many billions extracted, one must wonder - where is all that money? This is my opinion, and not meant as financial advice. This is meant for speculation and entertainment only. -Victor Cobra Shortby VictorCobraUpdated 8827

Binance Coin Can Be Finishing A Larger Bullish TriangleBinance coin is trading sideways for more than 100 weeks, similar as back in 2018-2020. We see it as a long corrective consolidation within uptrend, ideally as a larger bullish triangle pattern in wave (4) that can take the price higher for wave (5) in the near future. Despite recent negative news that U.S. regulators sued Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao for breaking the US securities rules, we can actually see it now trading in final subwave E of (4) that can find the support around the lower triangle line and base channel resistance line. Binance is actually already bouncing back with comments »We will defend ourselves against the SEC suit vigorously. The SEC lawsuit is baseless. We remain open to a productive compromise." So, don't get bear trapped and be aware of a bullish resumption into 5th wave in the second part of 2023.Longby ew-forecast10

BNB Update 2023-5-17It seems that the upward movement of BNB is not strong enough to move away from the bottom of the ascending channel. So, it is constantly at the risk of losing the bottom of the channel and reducing the price to 255 or even lower, and it is not possible to make a hopeful comment about it! Note that this is a personal opinion. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Es scheint, dass die Aufwärtsbewegung der BNB nicht stark genug ist, um sich vom Boden des aufsteigenden Kanals zu entfernen. Es besteht also ständig die Gefahr, dass der Tiefpunkt des Kanals verloren geht und der Preis auf 255 oder sogar noch niedriger sinkt, und es ist nicht möglich, einen hoffnungsvollen Kommentar dazu abzugeben! Beachten Sie, dass dies eine persönliche Meinung ist.by morteza291114

Binance Coin: will $320 hold?News are reporting that the level of coins held with Binance exchanger are modestly returning after an outflow caused by the negative news which surrounded this exchanger in the previous period. However, the price of BNB is staying within a relatively lower range. After not being able to clearly break the $350 resistance line some three weeks ago, the coin found a support level around $320. BNB started the previous week around $340, but soon reverted to the down side, reaching its lowest weekly level at $320, where the coin is finishing the week. RSI continues to move around level of 50, however, it seems that the market is more oriented toward the oversold side, rather than on the opposite. Moving average of 50 days slowed down its divergence from MA200 counterpart. It might be just a short break, however, if the move continues, it might lead toward the so-called “dead cross” in the coming period. Charts continue to point on a short-term reversal in the coming period. During the previous week, a short support line at $320 has been clearly tested. The coin still manages to hold above this level, however, in case of persistent selling orders, it might be breached. In this case, the coin will test $300 short term stop, with currently low potential for $280. In case that a move toward the upside occurs, it could be until level of $330. A move toward the $350 resistance line is not probable based on charts at this moment. by XBTFX8
BNBUSD PRICE PREDICTION -SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE -SIDEWAYS MARKETBNDUSD is not currently following any trend showing the market is currently moving in sideways direction. Support and Resistance concept comes into play in such scenarios. As Support and Resistance are meant to be broken so I have placed Sell Stop and Buy Stop orders at the breakout of support and resistance levels respectively. Sometimes, market crosses first Support and Resistance level and then move back so I have used breakout of 2nd Support and Resistance levels as my possible entry points. TRADE PLAN: REWARD: 2% { (TRADE 1 (Sell Stop) : 24.3 : approx USD 89.91 (REWARD), (TRADE 2 (Buy Stop) : 27.2 : approx USD 89.91 REWARD) } RISK: 2% { (TRADE 1 (Sell Stop) : 24.3 : approx USD 89.91 (RISK), (TRADE 2 (Buy Stop) : 27.2 : approx USD 89.91 RISK) }by faizannisar04

Binance: Excited! 😬Lately, Binance has been jumping up and down below the resistance at HKEX:347 excitedly, even hopping above this mark once to finish wave (b) in blue. To complete wave (c) in blue as well as wave ii in magenta, the altcoin should move a bit more purposefully, diving into the magenta-colored zone between $304.40 and $274.90. There, our crypto friend should gain enough upwards momentum to develop wave iii in magenta and thus make it above the hurdle at HKEX:347 effectively. There is a 27% chance, though, that Binance could skip the magenta-colored zone, climbing above HKEX:347 directly to expand wave alt.iii in magenta earlier already.by MarketIntel1
Binance Coin: potential for $300?Ongoing banking crisis with First Republic Bank didn’t have almost any impact on the price of BNB during the previous week. The level of deposits flowing from banks to the crypto market this time was reflected only in BTC`s price. This suggests that the majority of deposits were transferred in the first wave, during the collapse of SVB and Signature bank, and that similar banking crisis will have only minor effect on the prices of crypto coins in case that similar situation occurs in the future. However, on a positive side was the news that the total amount of BTC`s held in Binance wallets has been increased for the first time since the FTX collapse. This might be perceived as a first signal that market participants are slowly bringing back their confidence into Binance exchanger after some time of turbulent period. This will also be positive for BNB. BNB reached its highest weekly level at HKEX:345 and swiftly reverted the price to the downside, ending the week with prevailing selling orders around $320. The RSI took the down-road, ending the week modestly below level of 50. This is one of the indications that the market is headed toward the oversold side. At the same time, positive development is that MA50 continues to diverge from MA200 counterpart, which continues to be supportive for the Golden cross. Charts are pointing that short term reversal might continue in the coming days. There is some probability for the $300 support line to be tested in the coming days. At this moment there is no indication that the price might go lower from this level. On the opposite side, HKEX:330 might be tested again, still, without potential that the $350 might be reached in the week ahead. by XBTFX9
