I will personally continue to shill both.” The Upside Scenario Mr. Zhao’s statements came at a time when talks over bitcoin’s role as a safe-haven asset became louder. The benchmark cryptocurrency surged by up to 21 percent – between January 3 and 7 – against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the US and Iran. The upside sentiment rippled across the entire cryptocurrency market. The BNB-to-dollar exchange rate alone swelled by more than 22 percent to $15.848, becoming one of the best gainers among high-cap coins. BNB also climbed by up to 5 percent against bitcoin within the same timeframe.

For instance, the BNB price surged 794 percent between December 15, 2018 (the day of bitcoin’s bottom formation) and June 26 (the day it established a year-to-date high of $13,868). Bitcoin’s own gains within the said timeframe were only 343 percent. Gautam Chhugani of New York-based AllianceBernstein LP further called BNB a cheap buy after praising Binance’s core business model. The analyst noted that the demand for the cryptocurrency will likely go up as long as Binance – as an exchange – is beating its competitors. “Binance exchange has (some) competitors (easy to Guess) who may not adopt the cleanest tactics to upset the cart,” he added. “BNB is the currency of the ecosystem & could really hurt. Binance is protecting its core business.” Binance’s BNB A Cheap Buy Mr. Chhugani further called BNB “outrageously cheap” at its current rates, suggesting that traders should make the best out of the ongoing market’s volatility. The statement took cues from the BNB’s latest close above a crucial resistance level defined by the yellowed 50-daily moving average in the chart above. As of now, the cryptocurrency is looking to extend its gains towards $23.64. If Mr. Zhao is right, a bitcoin price rally could just be the recipe for it. The post appeared first on NewsBTC.
