On April 13, the BNB price spiked 2% on the daily chart, right after Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $72,000 mark.

BNB Price Faces Strong Resistance at $612
Last week, the BNB price suffered a sharp rejection around the $612 level and then dropped to lows around $592. However, buyers have started defending the token after starting to accumulate it. Thanks to this, a strong recovery is now visible as the price soars above $604. The token is now sitting at a major level, which will play a major role in its upcoming price movement.
At present, there is a dollar cost averaging zone between $600 and $598.50. After this, there are major levels at around $597 and $595, and finally $594 to $592. To manage risk, the stop loss should be placed below $591. Also, to book profit, there are targets at $610 and $615.
The price of BNB has fluctuated between $591 and $608 during the day. It has stayed mostly flat over the last week, with a few big swings up or down. This sideways action comes when the overall crypto market follows the upward trajectory. On Monday, Bitcoin (BTC) once again reclaimed its position above $72,000.
According to the chart on TradingView, BNB is in a neutral consolidation pattern. It has been bouncing inside a very tight range between $590 and $620 for recent days. The cryptocurrency is still down by more than 55% from its all-time high of around $1,300 in late 2025. It has not broken out of its longer-term downtrend yet.
At present, there is no strong buying or selling pressure on the exchanges for the BNB token.
BNB is sitting at around its short-term lines. The 5-day and 10-day averages are around $597, which gives mixed signals. The currency price of the BNB token is below the 50-day average, which sits around $599 to $625, as well as below the 100-day average near $601 and the 200-day average near $602.
In simple words, when the price stays under these lines, it generally means that sellers have more control over time. However, it also suggests that these short-term averages suggest the drop may be slowing. The Relative Strength Index on the daily chart is around 69, which clearly suggests that the cryptocurrency is currently in near-overbought territory.
Other indicators, such as MACD, are giving a small sell signal, but there is a weak strength for price movement in any direction.
Before the Osaka/Mendel fork (April 28, 02:30 UTC), make sure your node is ready:
• Upgrade to BSC v1.7.2
• Binary replacement is enough
• Clean up old config fieldsMissing this puts your node at risk of falling out of sync.https://t.co/5xwT0kz8Z2 https://t.co/dA9RcDVK1e
