Following a 3% drop below $850 support on December 15 amid a crypto market slip toward $3 trillion, BNB has stabilized above the $800 level as selling pressure eases. The Relative Strength Index is returning to neutral with higher lows, signaling fading bearish momentum and a potential buyer shift. This aligns with rising optimism around the BNB Chain.
BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain (formerly Binance ecosystem), defended the $800 support zone after the mid-December downside that breached higher levels around $850–$888. This $800 area has emerged as a high-time-frame demand zone, with price repeatedly closing above it and the Value Area Low, thwarting further bearish breaks—unlike the quicker support failures seen earlier.
The Point of Control (POC)—the highest-volume price in the recent range—has now been reclaimed on daily closes, marking a pivot from defensive stance to balanced conditions. Sustained acceptance above POC bolsters upside potential toward the Value Area High and $966–$996 resistance, where limited hurdles could enable rapid advances on building momentum.
The RSI supports this, rebounding to neutral territory with higher lows after prior weakness, indicating waning seller control. Combined with $800 holding firm, this setup favors consolidation over distribution, raising odds of upward moves.
Ecosystem tailwinds include Changpeng Zhao's backing of next-gen stablecoins, aiding BNB Chain's shift from 'undervalued' status. Year-to-date gains exceed 22%. As long as $800 and POC hold, $966–$996 targets grow viable, though a clear break either way could redirect momentum.
