Binance Coin price aims for $150 despite pullback
Although this was a significant 22% correction, it should be considered healthy given the magnitude of the previous rally towards $148. There are several crucial on-chain metrics in favor of BNB.

On the 1-hour chart, BNB bulls defended the 26-EMA support level located at $118 and are trying to push Binance Coin price above the 12-EMA at $130. If they succeed, BNB can quickly jump to its all-time high at $148 and eye up a breakout towards $150.

However, bears have managed to push Binance Coin price below an ascending parallel channel on the 1-hour chart. The bounce could simply be a re-test of the previous support level and transform into a continuation move towards $110.
