The 5 January sell-off fueled BNB’s existent bearish vigor as the alt broke down in a down-channel (yellow). BNB lost 21.8% of its value (from 5 January) and poked its three-month low on 10 January.
However, the alt rallied above its
EMA ribbons and recovered the previous losses. But saw a pullback from the $500 near-term supply zone (rectangle, green). Now, as the last few red candlesticks engulfed the green ones, the EMA ribbons seemed to flip toward the bearish side.At press time, the alt traded at $471.6. The RSI saw a plunge after a bearish divergence with the price action. It tested the 40-level support twice over the past day and preferred the sellers. Nevertheless, the CMF managed to stay above the zero-line. This reading entailed that the money flows did not see a huge backlash yet.
Filecoin (FIL)
