Binance Coin has been consolidating within a narrow trading range. Its price action has been mostly contained between the $15 support level, and the $18 resistance over the past two months.

Although investors appear to have shifted their focus towards small-cap coins, especially those in the DeFi market sector, Binance Coin has “some serious potential” to surged based on the daily active addresses growth.
On-Chain Volume Must Pick Up
The steady decline in on-chain volume, however, is favoring the bears at the moment. Such a steep divergence between price and volume represents a negative sign that indicates that momentum for a downswing is building up slowly.
