Binance Coin (BNB), which some see as a leading indicator for the altcoin market, has been on a strong rally over the past few weeks. The coin, after undergoing a strong correction, has surged against both the U.S. dollar and against Bitcoin. The coin has effectively doubled against Bitcoin over the past two weeks, surging higher. Binance Coin has been benefiting from the blockchain’s pivot to decentralized finance. The coin is also rallying due to the launch of Binance Smart Chain, which allows for smart contracts on the network. Unfortunately for bulls, the coin is forming a sell signal against Bitcoin. The Tom Demark Sequential formed a “sell 9” candle for the coin on Monday morning. Such Tom Demark Sequential “9”s when an asset is at an inflection point in its trend. Binance Coin Forms Crucial Sell Signal: TD Sequential
Binance’s Binance Coin (BNB) has been on a tear over the past few weeks. In the span of about two weeks, the coin has doubled against Bitcoin, shocking many traders.
The coin is up around 30% in the past three days alone, rallying despite a drop in the price of leading cryptocurrencies.
BNB’s resilience comes as Binance has rolled out the Binance Smart Chain, a blockchain that runs alongside the original Binance Chain. What sets the two networks apart is that the new one can facilitate smart contracts compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
“Created to run parallel to Binance Chain, BSC enables the creation of smart contracts for tokens on the Binance-branded blockchain. It also introduces an all-new staking mechanism for BNB, one of the world’s top cryptocurrencies,” a press release read on the matter.
Despite this fundamental development, Binance Coin may be technically poised to reverse.
The leading cryptocurrency recently formed a “sell 9” candle against Bitcoin, a Telegram channel tracking the Tom Demark Sequential indicator noted on Monday morning.
Such TD Sequential signals are seen when an asset is poised to reverse to the downside.

Kelvin Koh of the Spartan Group recently commented on BNB’s potential to rally amid the ongoing fundamental trends for the coin:
“7/ For $BNB, this creates a constant demand for holding/staking the token making it an attractive asset to own. Meanwhile fees that accrue from the exchange continue to burn existing supply. I expect $BNB to claw back the underperformance YTD as a result.”
Others are optimistic about the coin’s prospects as it attempts to claw at some of Ethereum’s market share.
