Binance Coin (BNB), the native token of the Binance Exchange, has showcased amazing stability amid the recent crypto market storm. The coin has outperformed most altcoins significantly. Over the past week, BNB’s price has surged between $575 and $591. Even in the last 24 hours, BNB posted a modest gain of 1%. This signals steady upward momentum for BNB despite market volatility.
BNB: The Altcoin That Weathered the Worst Market Crashes
While the altcoin market faced the brunt of the market volatility. Some coins plunged as much as 98.5% from their highs. However, BNB has held its ground, much like Bitcoin. Data from CryptoQuant shows that BNB is one of the least affected cryptocurrencies during recent market crashes. @joao_wedson, a CryptoQuant contributor, said, “While most altcoins have suffered drops of up to -98.5% from their all-time highs, BNB stands out alongside Bitcoin (BTC) as one of the least affected cryptocurrencies.” This kind of resilience is rare in the crypto market, where even seasoned coins like Dogecoin, Cardano, and Polygon have faced severe fluctuations.
Analysts believe that BNB’s strength comes from its strong utility within the Binance ecosystem. The coin has multiple use cases. On the Binance exchange, it is used for paying transaction fees, trading fees, and working as a support token for applications on the Binance Smart Chain. This keeps the demand for BNB consistent. Market analyst Master of Crypto also notes that “real-life utilities of BNB on Binance exchange put it several steps ahead of other cryptocurrencies without real-world applications.”
What’s In the Future for BNB?
Despite BNB’s strength, technical indicators suggest a neutral market situation. On the 4-H chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers at 48.57. This indicates price consolidations with no clear trend. If the RSI climbs above 50m bullish momentum may soon build. But a drop below 45 could signal weakening price strength. BNB currently trades around $591, facing resistance at $600.
BNB Price Analysis: BNB Stable at $591
BNB commenced trading yesterday at $589. As the EMAs interacted with each other on the MACD, BNB faced a period of fluctuations. However, eventually, a downtrend formed. This downtrend led BNB down to find a bottom of $581 at 7:00 UTC. Again, similar action continued on the MACD, with many consecutive golden crosses forming. The BNB price fluctuated at first, but soon formed a confident uptrend. The ascent lasted all day, and by 18:00 UTC, BNB had reached its 24-H high of $596.

However, correction soon arrived, and BNB was brought down to $592 in the next two hours. The coin attempted upward movement again but plateaued around $594. Soon, it fell to find a robust support in $591.8. BNB continuously tried to ascend and test the resistance, but amid strong bearish pressure, it failed to achieve any meaningful progress. The $594 barrier was also tested, but the BNB price continued to consolidate around the support. At 9:00 UTC on April 19, BNB finally abandoned the current support level and fell to a low of $590.
BNB Price Prediction: Can BNB Reach $600 Today?
BNB has shown amazing strength even in testing times. However, the overall market trend has definitely hindered its progress. While it has been able to resist the downturn, making upward progress has been difficult for the coin. Now as the coin recovers from almost overbought conditions, it looks poised to stabilize near the $589 mark before making any upward progress. If the buyers step in, we could see the BNB price knocking at $600.
