BNBs explosive surge to a new all-time high of $858 just days ago has faded fast, with the coin now hovering around $800, down nearly 7% in the last 24 hours. The quick reversal has traders questioning whether a new BNB all-time high is anywhere close, or if sellers are already tightening their grip.
On-chain data shows mid-term holders cashing out, buying power losing momentum, and early bearish signs flashing on lower timeframes. For now, the rally looks vulnerable, and another push to new highs may have to wait.
Mid-Term Holders Step Back, Slowing the Rally
When coins are held for 6–12 months, this group usually acts as steady hands, helping sustain a trend. But in the past three days, the HODL wave for this cohort dropped sharply, from 72.65% of supply on July 27 to just 65.88% at the time of writing.

This shift is significant because it shows that mid-term holders are distributing, locking in profits after the record peak. With fewer of these conviction-driven wallets holding supply, theres less buffer against selling pressure, making it harder for the BNB price to launch a clean move toward a new all-time high.
HODL waves track how long coins stay in wallets. A shrinking wave in the mid-term bracket often signals weakening market conviction.

OBV Momentum Falters, Early Bearish Signal Forms
The On-Balance Volume (OBV) on the daily timeframe is printing lower highs, showing that buying pressure is not keeping pace with price attempts near $800. Weakening OBV after an all-time high often points to rallies losing depth, as fewer buyers step in to push the move further.

To validate this, the 2-hour chart, an early momentum timeframe, shows the 20-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or the red line converging toward a bearish cross below the 50-period EMA (orange line).
This type of setup frequently precedes broader trend reversals, appearing on lower timeframes before the daily chart reflects the weakness. The BNB price might correct further if the bearish “death” crossover takes place.

Combined, shrinking HODL waves and falling OBV suggest the recent ATH euphoria is fading fast, leaving BNB exposed to another leg lower before a fresh breakout can materialize.
OBV measures cumulative trading volume flow — when it trends lower as price holds up, it often signals weakening demand.
BNB Price Levels: Bulls Need to Regain Key Zones
BNBs broader trend is still intact, which is why trend-based Fibonacci extension levels are used instead of retracement. They map how far the rally could stretch if momentum returns.
BNB price analysis: TradingView
For now, the price faces:
Bulls must reclaim $871, turning it into support, to scrap the short-term bearish setup and reignite all-time high hopes.
BNB‘s sharp retreat from record highs doesn’t kill the bigger uptrend, but with mid-term holders selling, volume fading, and bearish signals emerging on lower timeframes, a quick new all-time high might take some time to surface.
