Binance Coin (BNB) is showing signs of strength as it consolidates near the $600 mark. The digital asset is currently being traded at $602, slightly above the 100-hourly simple moving average following a minor correction from $611.

As the price moves above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent decline from $611 to $598, it may signal potential for upward movement.

Moreover, BNB is approaching the upper border of a descending wedge technical pattern that has been forming since the coin reached its highest value of $792. This pattern typically precedes a market breakout event.

According to the analysis by crypto traders, BNB must close above the critical $610 resistance level in order to confirm a bullish breakout. If the coin fails to break this level, it could result in further consolidation or a price reduction before establishing an upward trend.

After breaking through the resistance at $610, BNB could encounter the next resistance zone at $620. A clear move above this zone could push the price towards the Fib level, placing the resistance at $635. If the momentum continues, BNB might test the 50% Fib at $650.

The Relative Strength Index on daily charts shows positive momentum growth without reaching overbought conditions, which suggests additional upward potential as long as the trend is maintained.

The value of BNB is closely tied to the activity on BNB Chain, which encompasses both BNB Smart Chain and the Beacon Chain used for governance and staking. The ecosystem has developed strong fundamentals across several key metrics.

BNB Chain processes around 4 million daily transactions on average, which is more than Ethereum (1 million) but less than Tron (5.5 million) and Solana (54 million). The network maintains about 1.1 million daily active addresses, which is greater than Ethereum (384,800) but lower than Tron (2.4 million) and Solana (3.7 million).

Where BNB Chain truly excels is in the number of decentralized applications (DApps). The blockchain supports 5,686 DApps, which is more than Ethereum (4,987) and Polygon (2,402), positioning it as a leader in the space as Web3 continues to develop.

The network also ranks third in total value locked (TVL) in DeFi with $5.8 billion, which is less than Ethereum ($50.5 billion) and Solana ($8 billion). On March 24, its DEX trading volume briefly outpaced all other blockchains, reaching a weekly total of $14.3 billion.

Despite its strong activity metrics, BNB Chain's weakest point compared to competitors is its blockchain revenue. In 2024, it generated $194 million in fees, placing it fifth after Ethereum, Tron, Bitcoin, and Solana. In the past 30 days, BNB Chain has generated $17.1 million in fees, remaining in fifth place.

If BNB fails to overcome the $610 resistance level, analysts predict that the market may return to support zones starting from $580 and continuing to $567.8 before reaching additional support at $498.6 based on Fibonacci analysis.
