BNB’s 8% rally stalls! – Examining why traders should be cautious

For example, Ethereum [ETH] was up 41% over the past week. The lack of relative strength for BNB tied in well with what was highlighted in an earlier report. AMBCrypto highlighted that a lack of demand meant that bulls might be inadequate to the task of driving a breakout beyond the range. A retest of the mid-range support was anticipated, but this has not arrived either. BNB consolidates around $660, traders should be beware of...
