Binance Coin dropped beneath $240 shortly after that. Meanwhile, the RSI on the 1-day chart remained well below neutral 50, showing strong bearish momentum. The OBV was fighting to climb higher but has not made significant headway in the past two weeks.

Realistic or not, here’s BNB’s market cap in BTC terms

The 90-day MVRV ratio noted that holders were deep in the red territory. It can be argued that the asset was undervalued according to the MVRV but this does not mean Binance Coin will see a bounce soon. The funding rate was negative during the drop but has recently climbed back above zero.

Overall, the market sentiment remained bearish and sellers were dominant in the higher timeframe. If BNB falls beneath the $225-$230 area, $220 and $205 are the next support levels to watch.
