Binance Coin [BNB], the world’s fourth-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, appears bearish as it has formed a bearish price action pattern on a daily time frame.

BNB technical analysis and key levels

In addition to this, the asset has also formed an evening star candlestick pattern at the resistance level near $605, further supporting the bearish outlook.

Based on the historical price momentum, there is a strong possibility that BNB could fall by 20% to reach the $480 level in the coming days.
This negative outlook for BNB holds as long as it trades below the $625 level, otherwise, it may fail.
However, it is still trading above the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on a daily time frame, indicating an uptrend.
Traders and investors often use the 200 EMA to determine whether an asset is in an uptrend or downtrend.
Major liquidation levels
Currently, the major liquidation levels are near $593 on the lower side and $607.5 on the upper side, as traders are over-leveraged at these levels, according to an on-chain analytics firm Coinglass.

If the market sentiment turns bearish and BNB falls to the $593 level, nearly $280,000 worth of long positions will be liquidated.
Conversely, if the sentiment shifts and the price rises to the $607.5 level, approximately $2.30 million worth of short positions will be liquidated.
This data shows bulls are currently exhausted, while bears are highly active at the moment.
