With just six days remaining until the conclusion of Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) four-month prison sentence, Binance Coin (BNB) is on the brink of a significant breakout. Trading at $592.95, BNB has seen an impressive 8% increase over the past week, as bullish market sentiment and technical indicators suggest a potential rally that could push the price above the elusive $600 mark.
Bulls Take Charge As Market Sentiment Shifts
The recent price surge is largely attributed to a broader market shift following the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) rate cut. Investors are optimistic, with CZ’s anticipated release on September 29 acting as a catalyst for renewed buying interest. This optimism is evident in BNB’s technical setup, which indicates that the coin is approaching the upper boundary of a horizontal channel it has been trading within since July 1.
For BNB, this channel presents a defined trading range with resistance at $597.80 and support at $464.80. A breakout above this resistance could signal a significant shift in momentum, potentially paving the way for BNB to trade above $600 for the first time since July.
Technical Indicators Favor a Breakout
Current technical analysis shows promising signs for BNB’s bullish momentum. The Directional Movement Index (DMI) highlights strong accumulation, with the positive directional indicator (DMI+ in blue) positioned above the negative directional indicator (DMI- in red). This crossover suggests that buying pressure is outpacing selling activity, reinforcing the optimistic outlook for BNB.
Additionally, the Balance of Power (BoP) indicator, which measures the strength of buyers versus sellers, is currently positive at 0.30. A BoP reading above zero indicates that buyers maintain greater control over the market, further bolstering BNB’s upward momentum.
What’s Next for BNB?
If the current buying momentum continues, a breakout above the $597.80 resistance is highly plausible. A successful retest of this level would not only confirm the uptrend but also set BNB on a trajectory toward the $600 threshold. Market analysts are keeping a close watch on these developments, as a sustained rally could signify a strong resurgence for Binance Coin.

However, the path to $600 is not without challenges. If buying momentum falters and bearish sentiment returns, BNB may slip back into the horizontal channel, with a potential decline toward support at $464.80.
As the countdown to CZ’s release ticks down, BNB stands at a critical juncture. With positive technical indicators and shifting market sentiment, the stage is set for a potential rally. Investors will be keenly watching BNB’s movements in the coming days, as the combination of strong accumulation and a favorable market environment could propel the coin beyond its long-standing resistance, opening the door to new highs.
