They may be centralized and prone to hacks, but exchanges play a crucial role in the crypto ecosystem. Not only do create a market place for even the most illiquid digital assets, but these ramps bridge fiat and cryptocurrencies. However, this space is heating up. There is ingress of Wall Street behemoths. Leading the line is Fidelity Investments whose express ambition is to build a digital asset vault for high net worth investors as well as institutions.

Meanwhile, exchanges are stepping up. Coinbase is diverging from their conservative stance, offering more support for coins with the latest beneficiary being EOS.

Binance Coin (BNB) is in an uptrend. Shoring prices are fundamental factors which are overwhelmingly bullish. Up more than five folds after bottoming up in mid-Dec 2018, BNB is trading within a bullish breakout pattern. However, there is an over-extension.

From the chart, not only do we have a three-bar bear reversal pattern, but prices are consolidating inside May 26th high-volume bear bar. It is for this reason why the bar will determine the trajectory of the asset in the coming few days.

Furthermore, note that bars are printing away from the upper Bollinger Bands (BB). Because of this, what we have are lower lows. Nonetheless, otherwise, unless there is a breach of May 26th low at $30, buyers are in control with targets at $43 as laid out in previous BNB/USD price analysis.

Technical Indicator

From the above, May 26th anchors this trade plan. Behind the bar are high trading volumes-4 million. With support at $30, any bear bar closing below that mark signaling a correction ought to be accompanied by high participation exceeding 4 million.
