The price action and the general market cap has corrected to open the week but BNB ( BNB-USD ), Binance's altcoin and one of the major cryptocurrency coin outstanding, has broken a new record over the weekend.

Since, the new record reached $4.14T and consolidated at this time, with the current rally supported by more stable investor inflows and the creation of ETFs.

Binance Coin (BNB) 8H Chart BNB 8H Chart, September 22, 2025 – Source: TradingView BNB was progressing at a similar pace as other altcoins throughout this bull cycle but has seen considerable acceleration since August 2nd lows – Which also occurred on a Saturday. It might be important to denote this fact for future action! The top #5 altcoin is up 45% in a less than two months when looking at the low to high swings. Despite currently correcting, the crypto will now look to confirm its breakout above $1,000 as the pivot zone approaches and may serve as consolidation level.

As mentioned in the introduction to this piece, the second-largest coin is still consolidating above $4,000 which is a positive sign for the long-run. However, last week's price action has formed a tight bear channel sequence, Despite the rebound at the December 2024 highs, a potential break-retest sign, bulls still have to show more to regain immediate momentum.

Still, the leading crypto is evolving within an upward channel which will need bulls to hold relaunch momentum higher to avoid a further bearish sequence settling. As a matter of fact, the lower trendline of the upward channel is about $2,000 lower (around $110,000). Currently hanging around the 50-period MA, it will be interesting to see who takes the immediate momentum – Selling is happening as we speak throughout the market, but Bitcoin is hanging tight. Levels to place on your BTC Charts: Support Levels: $110,000 to $112,000 previous ATH support zone $106,000 to $108,000 key support $100,000 main support at the psychological level Resistance Levels: Current all-time high $124,596 Major resistance $122,000 to $124,500 $115,000 to $117,000 key pivot $126,500 to $128,000 Fib-extension potential resistance (1.382% from April to May up-move) Safe Trades!
