BNB Price Set to Surge: Could It Be the Next Big Mover?
BNB price struggled to stay above the $600 zone. The price is consolidating gains and might aim for a fresh increase above the $605 level.
- BNB price started a downside correction from the $612 resistance zone.
- The price is now trading above $590 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.
- There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $595 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair (data source from Binance).
- The pair must stay above the $588 level to start another increase in the near term.
BNB Price Holds Support
After a close above the $585 level, BNB price extended its increase. However, upsides were limited above $610 and the price remained capped unlike Ethereum and Bitcoin.
There was a move below the $605 and $600 levels. The price even dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $543 swing low to the $611 high. However, the price is now holding gains above the $580 level.
The price is now trading above $595 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $595 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair.
If there is a fresh increase, the price could face resistance near the $605 level. The next resistance sits near the $612 level. A clear move above the $612 zone could send the price higher. In the stated case, BNB price could test $620. A close above the $620 resistance might set the pace for a larger move toward the $632 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $650 level in the near term.
More Losses?
If BNB fails to clear the $605 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $595 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $578 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $543 swing low to the $611 high.
The main support sits at $570. If there is a downside break below the $570 support, the price could drop toward the $560 support. Any more losses could initiate a larger decline toward the $550 level.

Winklevoss Urges Scrutiny of FTX and SBF Political Donations
Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss has called for a renewed investigation into the dropped campaign finance charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted founder of the now-defunct FTX exchange.
Winklevoss emphasized the need for the incoming US Attorney General to address unresolved concerns about how these charges, tied to election interference involving stolen customer funds, were handled.
Winklevoss Demands Probe Into FTX-Linked Election Interference Accusations
In a November 23 post on X, Winklevoss expressed the belief that the campaign finance allegations remain a critical issue. He pointed to the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland, which declined to pursue these charges due to extradition technicalities with the Bahamian government.
According to Winklevoss, the DOJ chose not to work through the required legal processes to include the campaign finance violations in the indictment, leaving the matter unaddressed.
“Merrick Garland’s DOJ refused to pursue campaign finance charges against SBF because they were not included in his extradition…Since when has paperwork stood in between a prosecutor and adding more charges? Especially when it involves election interference with $100m of stolen customer funds,” Winklevoss stated.
Federal prosecutors initially dropped the campaign finance charge last year, attributing their decision to objections from Bahamian authorities. This charge involved over $100 million allegedly funneled from Alameda Research to fund more than 300 political contributions.
According to the indictment, these contributions, often made through straw donors or corporate funds, aimed to enhance Bankman-Fried’s influence in Washington, D.C.
The indictment also noted that Bankman-Fried became a top political donor in the 2022 midterm elections. He allegedly used the funds to gain favor with candidates across party lines, potentially shaping legislation favorable to FTX and the broader crypto industry.
Winklevoss’ remarks come as other key figures in the FTX collapse face their consequences. While Caroline Ellison and Ryan Salame received sentences of two years and 7.5 years, respectively, Gary Wang and Nishad Singh avoided prison by cooperating with prosecutors. Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud and other crimes.
Meanwhile, FTX has announced plans to implement its approved reorganization strategy starting in January. The exchange’s bankruptcy managers have recovered billions of dollars for creditors and are intensifying efforts to reclaim assets held by other entities.

Why a New Solana All-Time High May Be Near
Solana’s (SOL) price clinched a new all-time high of $264.39 during the trading session on November 23. Its price has since witnessed a 3% correction, causing the popular altcoin to exchange hands at $255.12 as of this writing.
Despite this pullback, the bullish bias toward the altcoin strengthens. An assessment of its daily chart highlights two reasons why a new Solana all-time high may be on the horizon.
Solana Bulls Relegates Its Bears
On the SOL/USD one-day chart, its price is positioned above the green line of its Super Trend indicator. This indicator measures the overall direction and strength of a price trend. It appears as a line on the chart, changing color based on the prevailing trend: green signifies an uptrend, while red indicates a downtrend.
When the Super Trend line is above an asset’s price, it signals a downtrend, suggesting continued bearish momentum. In Solana’s case, when the Super Trend line turns green and moves below the price, buyers are in control.
This green line often acts as a support level, where increased buying pressure can drive a rebound following price dips. For Solana, this support is currently set at $213.53.
Further, the coin’s price rests significantly above its Ichimoku Cloud, confirming this bullish outlook. This indicator tracks the momentum of an asset’s market trends and identifies potential support/resistance levels.
When an asset’s price rests above the Ichimoku Cloud, it signals a bullish trend. It indicates that the asset is on an upward trend with the potential for further gains. In this case, the Cloud is a dynamic support zone below the price, reinforcing bullish sentiment.
SOL Price Prediction: New High on the Horizon
At press time, SOL trades at $255.12, below the new resistance at its all-time high of $264.39. If buying pressure strengthens further, the coin’s price will flip this level into a support floor and attempt to touch a new peak.
On the other hand, if profit-taking activity resurges, SOL’s price will shed some of its current gains to trade at $231.35. Should this level fail to hand, SOL’s price will fall toward the support formed by its Super Trend indicator at $213.53. This will invalidate the possibility of a new Solana all-time high in the near term.

WIF Shakes Off Setbacks As Bullish Resurgence Targets More Gains
My name is Godspower Owie, and I was born and brought up in Edo State, Nigeria. I grew up with my three siblings who have always been my idols and mentors, helping me to grow and understand the way of life.
My parents are literally the backbone of my story. They’ve always supported me in good and bad times and never for once left my side whenever I feel lost in this world. Honestly, having such amazing parents makes you feel safe and secure, and I won’t trade them for anything else in this world.
I was exposed to the cryptocurrency world 3 years ago and got so interested in knowing so much about it. It all started when a friend of mine invested in a crypto asset, which he yielded massive gains from his investments.
When I confronted him about cryptocurrency he explained his journey so far in the field. It was impressive getting to know about his consistency and dedication in the space despite the risks involved, and these are the major reasons why I got so interested in cryptocurrency.
Trust me, I’ve had my share of experience with the ups and downs in the market but I never for once lost the passion to grow in the field. This is because I believe growth leads to excellence and that’s my goal in the field. And today, I am an employee of Bitcoinnist and NewsBTC news outlets.
My Bosses and co-workers are the best kinds of people I have ever worked with, in and outside the crypto landscape. I intend to give my all working alongside my amazing colleagues for the growth of these companies.
Sometimes I like to picture myself as an explorer, this is because I like visiting new places, I like learning new things (useful things to be precise), I like meeting new people – people who make an impact in my life no matter how little it is.
One of the things I love and enjoy doing the most is football. It will remain my favorite outdoor activity, probably because I’m so good at it. I am also very good at singing, dancing, acting, fashion and others.
I cherish my time, work, family, and loved ones. I mean, those are probably the most important things in anyone’s life. I don’t chase illusions, I chase dreams.
I know there is still a lot about myself that I need to figure out as I strive to become successful in life. I’m certain I will get there because I know I am not a quitter, and I will give my all till the very end to see myself at the top.
I aspire to be a boss someday, having people work under me just as I’ve worked under great people. This is one of my biggest dreams professionally, and one I do not take lightly. Everyone knows the road ahead is not as easy as it looks, but with God Almighty, my family, and shared passion friends, there is no stopping me.
