Following this series of announcements, BNB registered an intraday jump in price, hitting $323 on the charts. What else do we know about the token’s reaction to these announcements over the last 24 hours?
No significant traction?
Although BNB registered an intraday high of $323, at press time, the crypto appeared to have lost some of these gains. At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at $318.
Significantly, trading volume for BNB also recorded a 15% reduction in the last 24 hours. A look at movements on the price charts, although, pointed to something else entirely. At the Writer’s time, the Money Flow Index (MFI) maintained an upwards curve at 73, inching closer to the overbought zone. Due to the very little growth in price over the last 24 hours, this proposed a bullish divergence – one suggestive of an imminent rally.
Even ‘On the Chain’
A look at the chain also revealed that BNB did not see any significant reaction to the aforementioned updates.
The number of unique addresses that transacted BNB yesterday was 10,945 addresses – An addition of just 579 addresses from the 10,366 addresses recorded two days ago.
