Binance Coin (BNB) has experienced a notable setback, retracing from its overhead resistance for the third time in just two months. This downward trajectory has formed a falling wedge pattern, a technical indicator characterized by declining peaks and troughs confined within two converging trend lines.
As of the latest data from CoinGecko, BNB is currently trading at $214.94, with a 24-hour decline of 0.9% and a modest seven-day gain of 0.6%. On August 31, the BNB price dipped below the critical $220 local support level, signaling the possibility of further bearish movement.
However, amidst the prevailing market uncertainty, BNB’s price has turned sideways, leaving both buyers and sellers in a state of indecision.

The falling wedge pattern, often referred to as an ending diagonal pattern, can be seen as a potential signal of exhaustion within a prevailing bearish phase, hinting at a potential trend reversal. If the recent breach below $220 fails to sustain, it could open the door for buyers to challenge the overhead resistance.
Binance Coin Potential For Turnaround
Price analysis suggests that a successful breakout from this falling wedge pattern would signify a bullish turnaround for BNB. This could potentially propel the coin’s price to target levels of $234, and if momentum continues to favor buyers, it may even reach heights of $247 or even $263.
In a parallel development, PancakeSwap (CAKE) has achieved a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. According to a post by glebk.eth, PancakeSwap’s monthly revenue has surpassed that of BNB Chain over the last 30 days.

PancakeSwap operates on BNB Chain due to its lower transaction costs, which allow users to swap tokens with significantly reduced fees compared to Ethereum (ETH).
Token Terminal data reveals that, as of September 6, PancakeSwap generated fees totaling $96,237, indicating a substantial increase in user transactions compared to the previous day.
In contrast, BNB Chain’s 30-day revenue stood at $931,700 on September 7. PancakeSwap’s revenue during the same period, however, exceeded expectations, reaching $970,800.
