Its largest peer, Ethereum, was trading slightly lower but brached $1,850-levels after the latest weakness. Price action in the major altcoins was on the lower side.

Tech View by Giottus Crypto Platform:
BNBis currently moving sideways within a horizontal channel in the medium term. The candle sticks have inched closer to the $240 level in the past two days which coincides with its 50-day moving average.
If there is any upside momentum, additional gains could potentially drive the price towards the resistance levels of $250 and $265. Its RSI slope, moving sideways, indicates that the underlying buying pressure for BNB isn’t strong. On the downside, if BNB fails to withhold the $230 support level, it may revisit support zones at $220.
Major Levels:
Support: $220, $230
Resistance: $250, $265, $280
