When this signal flashes, it indicates a strong upward trend and often time encourages prospective traders to enter new positions. If this scenario plays out, BNB price could record further upside in the days ahead.

While the bullish momentum is currently strong, Binance Coin price faces strong resistance at the $680 level, as some holders could start to book profits taking advantage of the imminent all-time high euphoria.

But if the market takes a negative turn, the bulls could mount a short-term support cluster at the $597 level as indicated by the Parabolic SAR dot.
