Binance Coin / USD Short-term price analysis
In the short-term, Binance Coin is bullish with the popular coin enjoying strong buying demand since the start of this month. The BNB / USD pair is trading well above all key moving averages, with the 50-period moving average crossing over the 200-period moving average.
Warning signs are starting to emerge that a technical pullback may occur, as the BNB / USD pair is showing bearish MACD divergence on the four-hour time frame.
Aside from the bearish price divergence, the Relative Strength Index and Stochastic indicator have both reached extreme oversold conditions on the mentioned time frame.
Pattern Watch
The four-hour time frame highlights the recently triggered bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern, which has already reached its upside projection.

The MACD indicator is creating bearish divergence, which is signaling a possible near-term correction lower.
Binance Coin / USD Medium-term price analysis

The BNB / USD pair has two immediate targets, firstly, the November 7th 2018 swing-high and the September 2nd 2018 trading high, which is the more bullish of the two potential targets.
