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.
BNB Holders Distribution chart
The number of whales holding between 10,000 and 100,000 BNB coins ($1,300,000 and $13,000,000) has increased by 10 in the past week. Similarly, smaller holders with 1,000 to 10,000 BNB have also been joining the network in the past week from 656 on February 3 to 667 currently.
BNB/USD 1-hour chart
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.
