BNB price technical analysis BNB price chart | Source: crypto.news The weekly chart shows that BNB has been trading inside an ascending channel for several months and continues to hold above the 100-week Exponential Moving Average, a bullish sign indicating sustained upward momentum. Crucially, BNB has been forming a cup-and-handle pattern, a widely followed continuation setup. The pattern’s upper resistance line is at $652, and the depth of the cup is estimated at 72%. According to technical convention, the price target in a C&H setup is calculated by projecting the depth of the cup above its upper boundary. If this formation plays out, BNB could rally toward $1,121, a level that marks the next major upside target for bulls.
