BNB, the native token of the Binance Smart Chain, experienced a drop on Friday, showing a huge red candlestick after opening at around $305 and moving downward toward $297.93. This downward move began with a rejection at $312.53 on Wednesday, thereby creating resistance at the same level. At the time of writing, the price still shows strong signs of moving downward to its previous support level of $300. If this support level is unable to hold, then the price might continue downward to the next support level at $263.93. But, if the support does hold, we might see the price bounce back and move upward to create a new high for the year. However, the price is still above the 100-day moving average, which is usually a bullish sign for the price.
