BNB’s price took a hit, but THIS metric soared instead

• BNB’s price has risen by 19% in the last seven days.
• Due to the general market decline in the past 24 hours, BNB’s futures open interest witnessed a slump.

Binance Coin [BNB] has defied the current market slump, surging by almost 20% in the past week. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, this has made it the crypto asset with the highest growth among the top four cryptocurrencies by capitalization. 

Demand for BNB lingers

At press time, a BNB coin sold for $550. Due to its positive correlation with Bitcoin [BTC]

However, AMBCrypto found that amid the general market downturn, demand for BNB persisted. Its key momentum indicators, as assessed on a single-day chart, trended upward.

For example, the coin’s Money Flow Index (MFI) was 84.48. This showed that spot market participants favored accumulation over distribution

Likewise, its Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) rested above the zero line, returning a value of 0.40 at press time. A CMF value above 0 suggests capital inflow and is a sign of market strength. 

Confirming the bullish trend in the BNB market, its Awesome Oscillator  (AOI) returned green histogram bars that faced upwards. When an asset’s AO is set up in this manner, it suggests that buying pressure is increasing, potentially signaling a bullish trend in the market. Traders often interpret this as a signal to consider buying or holding onto positions.

Further, BNB’s Aroon Up Line (orange) was 85.71%. This indicator is used to identify trend strength and potential trend reversal points in a crypto asset’s price movement.

Therefore, when an asset’s Aroon Up Line is close to 100, the uptrend is strong and the most recent high was reached relatively recently.
