If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $215.5 level. The next resistance sits near the $220 level. A clear move above the $220 zone could send the price further higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $235. A close above the $235 resistance might set the pace for a larger increase toward the $250 resistance.
More Losses?
If BNB fails to clear the $220 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $211 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $207 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $203 swing low to the $220 high.
If there is a downside break below the $207 support, the price could drop toward the $202 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $185 level.
