Why BNB Price May Face a Potential Drop Below $500
Binance Coin (BNB) may be on the verge of another price decline. Earlier this month, BNB experienced a nearly 20% surge following the August 5 market crash.
However, over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency’s value has slipped by 3%. This minor drop could indicate the beginning of a further downtrend.
Binance Coin Hints at Extended Losses
At press time, the coin trades at $552. However, the daily chart shows the formation of a bearish flag, suggesting that the technical pattern could accelerate the recent downswing. A bearish flag appears when the slope of a downtrend connects a parallel channel connecting the highs and lows of a short-term uptrend.
The chart below displays an almost vertical flagpole, illustrating how bulls initially lost ground to bears. This was followed by a brief period of profit-taking, as bears were caught off guard by bulls pushing for slightly higher lows and higher highs.
Eventually, bears regained control, dragging BNB down from a peak of $600 to $552. Despite this pullback, the formation of a bearish flag suggests the downtrend may not be over. If this pattern is confirmed, BNB could be headed for a further drop toward $500.

Furthermore, the Money Flow Index (MFI) reinforces the bearish outlook. The MFI tracks price and volume data to gauge buying and selling pressure. A rising MFI typically indicates incoming capital and a potential price increase, while a decline suggests money is leaving the market, signaling a bearish trend.
As seen in the chart below, BNB’s price is aligning with the downward trend of this oscillator. This suggests that a bullish reversa is unlikely in the near term, and BNB’s price may continue to decline.
BNB Price Prediction: Will the Coin Drop Below the $500 Support?
Applying the same analysis to the daily chart, BeInCrypto examined the Fibonacci retracement indicator. Called by its short form, the Fib retracement levels are horizontal lines that shows support and resistance levels.
Each Fibonacci level is associated with specific percentages or ratios used to pinpoint highs and lows. The key levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%. If buying pressure strengthens, BNB’s price could rise to the next Fib level in the upper range.
However, given the current trend, BNB’s price might drop to $526, where the 61.8% golden pocket ratio is positioned. If selling pressure intensifies, the price could fall below the $500 support, potentially declining further to $472.

On the flip side, if the price bounces back, BNB could break the $500 psychological resistance. In that scenario, the altcoin might rally to $564 or even as high as $601.90.

WisdomTree Europe Launches XRP ETP
ETF issuer WisdomTree’s European division just announced a new ETP based on XRP. This product is currently available in four EU countries, which has led XRP’s price to jump slightly.
ETPs are a common issuer strategy to earn revenue without ETF approval, but Europe will not necessarily approve one even if the US does so.
WisdomTree’s XRP ETP
WisdomTree, one of the Bitcoin ETF issuers in the US, announced that its European branch is offering an exchange-traded product (ETP) based on XRP. This new product is currently available in Germany, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands. A growing number of issuers have filed for an XRP ETF, but WisdomTree is taking a slightly different tack.
“The WisdomTree Physical XRP ETP offers a simple, secure, and low-cost way to gain exposure to XRP, one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Backed 100% by XRP, XRPW is the lowest-priced XRP ETP in Europe, providing direct spot price exposure,” the announcement claimed.
The possibility of an official XRP ETF is growing with the current bull market, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse considers it “inevitable.” Still, it hasn’t happened yet, and ETP offerings allow issuers to somewhat address customers’ requirements. BitWise, which has also filed for an XRP ETF in the US, recently acquired a European ETP issuer to enter the same market.
WisdomTree, however, is no stranger to this market strategy. In May this year, it won approval to offer ETPs based on Bitcoin and Ethereum to British investors.
The UK has not yet approved a full ETF for either of these assets, but WisdomTree still gained market access. Even a fraction of the XRP market could also prove lucrative; the asset’s value spiked today.
WisdomTree Europe’s strategy page does not describe any further actions upon full approval. Even if the US approves an XRP ETF under the SEC’s new leadership, that won’t necessarily benefit WisdomTree’s European branch. For now, these ETPs built on XRP will have to suffice for this market.
